Reptiles can carry a wide range of bacteria in their gastrointestinal (GI) system and venom, with potential risk for human health. . A total of 135 swabs were taken from the venom, oral cavity and cloaca of nose-horned viper, Vipera ammodytes, adder Vipera berus and meadow viper, Vipera ursinii from the wilderness of continental and coastal parts of Croatia. In meadow viper venom Bacillus sp., E. coli, Streptococcus sp., Morganella morganii, Seratia sp., Staphylococcus sp., Pseudomonas luteola and Salmonella arizonae were detected, listed by the frequency.
