Salmonella enterica serovar Hvittingfoss is an important foodborne serotype of Salmonella, being detected in many countries where surveillance is conducted. Outbreaks can occur, and there was a recent multistate foodborne outbreak in Australia. S. Hvittingfoss can be found in animal populations, though a definitive animal host has not been established. Six species of birds were sampled at Roebuck Bay, a designated Ramsar site in northwestern Australia, resulting in 326 cloacal swabs for bacterial culture. Among a single flock of 63 bar-tailed godwits (Limosa lapponica menzbieri) caught at Wader Spit, Roebuck Bay, in 2018, 17 (27%) were culture positive for Salmonella. All other birds were negative for Salmonella. The isolates were identified as Salmonella enterica serovar Hvittingfoss. Phylogenetic analysis revealed a close relationship between isolates collected from godwits and the S. Hvittingfoss strain responsible for a 2016 multistate foodborne outbreak originating from tainted cantaloupes (rock melons) in Australia. While it is not possible to determine how this strain of S. Hvittingfoss was introduced into the bar-tailed godwits, these findings show that wild Australian birds are capable of carrying Salmonella strains of public health importance.

沙门氏菌肠炎沙门氏菌Hvittingfoss来自澳大利亚西北部罗巴克湾的条尾-（Limosa lapponica）。

肠炎沙门氏菌血清型沙门氏菌是一种重要的食源性沙门氏菌血清型，在许多进行监测的国家中已被发现。可能会爆发，澳大利亚最近发生了多州食源性爆发。小号。Hvittingfoss可以在动物种群中找到，尽管尚未确定动物的宿主。在澳大利亚西北部指定的拉姆萨尔（Ramsar）站点罗巴克湾（Roebuck Bay）采样了六种鸟类，产生了326株泄殖腔拭子用于细菌培养。在2018年在Roebuck Bay的Wader Spit捕捞到的63只尾巴god鱼（Limosa lapponica menzbieri）中，有17只（27％）的沙门氏菌呈阳性。所有其他鸟都对沙门氏菌。分离物被鉴定为肠沙门氏菌Hvittingfoss。进化分析表明，从godwits和收集到的菌株之间的密切关系小号。导致2016年多州食源性暴发的Hvittingfoss菌株源自澳大利亚受污染的哈密瓜（岩瓜）。虽然无法确定S的应变。将Hvittingfoss引入了条尾god，这些发现表明，澳大利亚野生鸟类能够携带对公共卫生具有重要意义的沙门氏菌。
