| Salmonella | Genus of gram-negative Enterobacteriaceae that are responsible for several infections in humans (gastroenteritis and typhoid). If invasive they can cause enteric fevers (e.g. Typhoid, caused by Salmonella typhi), food poisoning (usually Salmonella typhimurium or Salmonella enteridis, the latter notorious for contamination of poultry) and occasionally septicaemia in nonintestinal tissues. (27 Sep 1997) |
|---|---|
| salmonella arizonae | Gram-negative rods widely distributed in lizards and snakes, and implicated in enteric, bone, and joint infections in man. (12 Dec 1998) |
| Salmonella choleraesuis | A species that occurs in pigs, where it is an important secondary invader in the virus disease hog cholera, but does not occur as a natural pathogen in other animals; occasionally causes acute gastroenteritis and enteric fever in humans; it is the type species of the genus Salmonella.

| salmonella enterica | A subgenus of salmonella containing several medically important serotypes. The habitat for the majority of strains is warm-blooded animals. (12 Dec 1998) |
| salmonella enteritidis | A serotype of salmonella enterica which is an aetiologic agent of gastroenteritis in man and other animals. (12 Dec 1998) |
| salmonella food poisoning | Poisoning caused by ingestion of food harboring species of salmonella. Conditions of raising, shipping, slaughtering, and marketing of domestic animals contribute to the spread of this bacterium in the food supply. (12 Dec 1998) |

| salmonella infections, animal | Infections in animals with bacteria of the genus salmonella. (12 Dec 1998) |
| salmonella paratyphi a | A serotype of salmonella enterica that causes mild paratyphoid fever in humans. (12 Dec 1998) |
| salmonella phages | Viruses whose host is salmonella. A frequently encountered salmonella phage is bacteriophage p22. (12 Dec 1998) |
| salmonella schottmuelleri | A serotype of salmonella enterica which is the aetiologic agent of enteric fever in man. (12 Dec 1998) |
| Salmonella schottmulleri | A species causing enteric fever in man; found rarely in cattle, sheep, swine, chickens, and lower primates. Synonym: Schottmueller's bacillus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| salmonella typhi | A serotype of salmonella enterica which is the aetiologic agent of typhoid. (12 Dec 1998) |
| salmonella typhimurium | A serotype of salmonella enterica that is a frequent agent of salmonella gastroenteritis in humans. It also causes paratyphoid fever. (12 Dec 1998) |
