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.

Salmonella is a genus of rod-shaped Gram-negative enterobacteria that causes typhoid fever, paratyphoid fever, and foodborne illness.[1] Most Salmonella species are motile and produce hydrogen sulfide.[2]
The genus Salmonella was named after Daniel Elmer Salmon, an American veterinary pathologist.[3] While Theobald Smith was the actual discoverer of the bacteria that causes hog Cholera
Salmonella antibodies were first found in Malawi children in research published in 2008. The Malawian researchers have identified an antibody that protects children against bacterial infections of the blood caused by Salmonella. A study of 352 children at Blantyre's Queen Elizabeth hospital found that children up to two years old develop antibodies that aid in killing the bacteria. The researchers proposed that this could lead to a possible Salmonella vaccine.[4]
