Salmonella enterica enterica is a subspecies of Salmonella enterica, the rod shaped, flagellated, aerobic, Gram-negative bacterium. It is a member of the genus Salmonella.[1] Many of the pathogenic serovars of the S. enterica species are in this subspecies.[2]

Serovars (not an all-inclusive list, as there are >2,500)

  • Salmonella Choleraesuis
  • Salmonella Dublin
  • Salmonella Enteritidis
  • Salmonella Gallinarum
  • Salmonella Hadar
  • Salmonella Heidelberg
  • Salmonella Infantis
  • Salmonella Paratyphi
  • Salmonella Typhi
  • Salmonella Typhimurium

Nomenclature

The serovars can be designated fully or in a shortened form.[3] The short form lists the genus, Salmonella, which is followed by the capitalized and non-italicized serovar. The full designation for Salmonella Typhi is Salmonella enterica enterica, serovar Typhi. Each serovar can have many strains as well, which allows for a rapid increase in the total number of antigenically variable bacteria.[4]
