Abstract
Since 1965, Edwardsiella tarda has been isolated from many different animal species and from the environment. It appears that the pathologic effects of E. tarda are similar to those produced by Salmonella spp. in the nature of the disease produced, both intestinal and extraintestinal, and in the carrier status of many animals where stress may be the triggering mechanism for active disease.
