Rabbits orally challenged with Salmonella enterica
developed a dose-dependent diarrheal disease comparable to human
salmonellosis. Viable Salmonella organisms recovered from
the intestine and deep tissues indicate local and systemic infections.
Therefore, results show that the rabbit can be used as a model for
diarrheal disease and sequelae associated with salmonellosis.
