Serovars

S. enterica has an extraordinarily large number of serovars or strains—up to 2000 have been described.[2] Salmonella enterica Serovar Typhi (historically elevated to species status as S. typhi) is the disease agent in typhoid fever. Other serovars such as Typhimurium (also known as S. typhimurium) can lead to a form of human gastroenteritis sometimes referred to as salmonellosis. A serovar or serotype is a grouping of microorganisms or viruses based on their cell surface antigens. ... In biology, a species is one of the basic units of biodiversity. ... A pathogen (literally birth of pain from the Greek παθογένεια) is a biological agent that can cause disease to its host. ... For a related disease which is caused by a different bacterium, see Paratyphoid fever. ... Gastroenteritis involves diarrhea or vomiting, with noninflammatory infection of the upper small bowel, or inflammatory infection of the colon, both part of the gastrointestinal tract. ... Salmonellosis is an infection with Salmonella bacteria. ...


The genome sequences of serovars Typhi[3] and Typhimurium LT2[4] have been established. Also analysis of the the proteome of Typhimurium LT2 under differing enviromental conditions has also been performed [5]. In biology the genome of an organism is its whole hereditary information and is encoded in the DNA (or, for some viruses, RNA). ... The term proteome was coined by Mark Wilkins in 1995 (1) and is used to describe the entire complement of proteins in a given biological organism or system at a given time, i. ...


Salmonella Typhi

Salmonella Typhi is a serovar of Salmonella enterica (formerly known as Salmonella choleraesuis) and the cause of the disease typhoid fever. The organism can be transmitted by the fecal-oral route—it is excreted by humans in feces and may be transmitted by contaminated water, food, or by person-to-person contact (with inadequate attention to personal hygiene). A serovar or serotype is a grouping of microorganisms or viruses based on their cell surface antigens. ... For a related disease which is caused by a different bacterium, see Paratyphoid fever. ... Many diseases can be passed when fecal particles from one host are introduced into the mouth of another potential host. ... Feces, faeces, or fæces (see spelling differences) is waste product from an animals digestive tract expelled through the anus (or cloaca) during defecation. ...


Salmonella Typhi possesses three main antigenic factors: the O, or somatic antigen; the Vi, or encapsulation antigen; and the H, or flagellar antigen.[citation needed]


Epidemiology

Most cases of salmonellosis are caused by food infected with S. enterica, which often infects cattle and poultry, though also other animals such as domestic cats and hamsters[6] have also been shown to be sources of infection to humans. However, investigations of vacuum cleaner bags have shown that households can act as a reservoir of the bacterium; this is more likely if the household has contact with an infection source, for example through members working with cattle or in a veterinary clinic. Binomial name Bos taurus Linnaeus, 1758 Cattle (often called cows in vernacular and contemporary usage, or kye as the Scots plural of cou) are domesticated ungulates, a member of the subfamily Bovinae of the family Bovidae. ... Trinomial name Felis catus Linnaeus, 1758 The cat (or domestic cat, house cat) is a small carnivorous mammal. ... Genera Mesocricetus Phodopus Cricetus Cricetulus Allocricetulus Cansumys Tscherskia A hamster is a rodent belonging to the subfamily Cricetinae. ... Regular vacuum cleaner for home use. ...

Epidemic of Salmonella Enteritica Serotype paratyphi A in Calicut-Kerala
Enteric fever is classically caused by Salmonella enterica serotype typhi, but serotypes paratyphi A and paratyphi B can also cause enteric fever, however the symptoms are milder and the mortality is lower.
Salmonella paratyphi A was only occasionally isolated from cases of enteric fever in Calicut till 2001 (11.1%).
