Background   Salmonella  spp. have been isolated from a wide range of wild animals. Opportunistic wild carnivores such as red foxes ( Vulpes vulpes ) and badgers ( Meles meles ) may act as environmental indicators or as potential sources of salmonellosis in humans. The present study characterizes  Salmonella  spp. isolated from the intestinal contents of hunted or dead red foxes (n = 509) and badgers (n = 17) in northern Italy.    Findings  Thirty-one strains of  Salmonella  belonging to 3  Salmonella enterica  subspecies were isolated. Fourteen different serovars of  S. enterica  subsp.  enterica  were identified, among which were serovars often associated with human illness.    Conclusions  Wild opportunistic predators can influence the probability of infection of both domestic animals and humans through active shedding of the pathogen to the environment. The epidemiological role of wild carnivores in the spread of salmonellosis needs to be further studied.
