Salmonella are properly designated using their serovar (which was often formerly a species name), so, for example, S. enterica subsp. enterica serovar Typhimurium (aka S. Typhimurium) and serovar Enteritidis (S. Enteritidis). The organism is associated with enteric disease and abortions.
Salmonella infections most often cause gastroenteritis which can range from mild to severe; invasive infections can be severe and potentially life threatening. National Salmonella surveillance data are collected through passive surveillance of laboratory-confirmed human Salmonella isolates.
