In articles and reports by researchers from different countries, Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Abortus equi is often cited as the cause of abortion in mares. Here we report a clinical case of Salmonella isolated from an aborted mare fetus, and the results of its typing and examination of antibiotic resistance. Abortions were reported in a herd of local Jabe horses. Vaginal smears and internal organ (heart, spleen) samples of an aborted horse fetus from a farm in the Karaganda region were obtained. The mare aborted in the stage of deep pregnancy, and the fetus that formed had fur and hooves. Three different isolates were obtained and classified as Salmonella. The identical antimicrobial resistance pattern and sequencing type were seen in all three samples. The isolates were subsequently genotyped and found to be 100% identical to S. enterica subsp. enterica. Based on the results of bacteriological and molecular genetic analyses of cultures isolated from the samples, it was established that the cause of abortion in mares was an infection related to salmonella etiology and was caused by the pathogen S. enterica subsp. enterica serovar Enteritidis.
