is a genus of rod-shaped (bacillus) gram-negative bacteria of the family Enterobacteriaceae. The two known species of Salmonella are Salmonella enterica and Salmonella bongori. S. enterica is the type species and is further divided into six subspecies that include over 2,600 serotypes. Salmonella was named after Daniel Elmer Salmon (1850–1914 ...
The type species of the genus Salmonella is S. enterica and the type strain is Lt2T. Salmonella enterica was considered to be the only species in the genus (Le Minor and Popoff, 1987) until 1989 when Salmonella bongori was first suggested (Reeves et al., 1989), and then was confirmed by genome sequencing in 2011 (Fookes et al., 2011).
The genus Salmonella consists of two species S. enterica and S. bongori. S. enterica has a well defined subspecies structure with seven subspecies consistently delineated by sequence variation. Frequency of recombination between subspecies and within a subspecies is markedly different. Subspecies I undergoes frequent recombination as ...
Some clarity was achieved in 2005 through a judicial opinion and an accompanying commentary , which split the genus into two species, Salmonella bongori (S. bongori) [6,8], (previously known as S. enterica subspecies V) and Salmonella enterica (S. enterica) .
Dec 4, 2019 · Background: Salmonella bongori infect mainly cold-blooded hosts, but infections by S. bongori in warm-blooded hosts have been reported. We hypothesized that S. bongori might have diverged into distinct phylogenetic lineages, with some being able to infect warm-blooded hosts.
Introduction. Salmonellae are ubiquitous human and animal pathogens, and salmonellosis, a disease that affects an estimated 2 million Americans each year, is common throughout the world. Salmonellosis in humans usually takes the form of a self-limiting food poisoning (gastroenteritis), but occasionally manifests as a serious systemic infection ...
Jan 5, 2024 · Salmonella is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped, motile bacilli that moves with the use of its peritrichous flagella. The genus Salmonella can be divided into two species ( S. enterica and S. bongori ), based on their phenotypic profile. The genus Salmonella is a member of the family Enterobacteriaceae. Salmonella is one of the world’s most common ...
