 A Very complex group 
 Contains more > 2,000 spp 
 Typed on the basis of Serotyping, and species 
typing 
 Divided into two groups 
1 Enteric fever (thypoid fever) 
2 Food poisoning
•Gram negative bacilli 
• 1.0 -3.0 microns 
•Motile by peritrichous 
flagella
 Caused by Salmonella typhi, and other Groups 
called as Paratyphi A, B, C 
 Salmonella typhi - Causes Typhoid fever 
 Salmonella Paratyphi A,B,C Causes 
Paratyphoid fevers.
• The Genus Salmonella 
belong to 
Enterobacteriaceae 
• Aerobic 
• Gram negative bacilli 
• Distinguished from 
other bacteria by 
Biochemical and 
antigen structure
 Head ache, malise,anorexia ,coated tongue 
 Abdominal discomfort 
 Constipation / Diarrhea 
 Hepatomegaly 
 Rose spots appear
 Intestinal perforation 
 Hemorrhage 
 Circulatory collapse 
 Bronchitis Bronchopneumonia 
 Meningitis 
 Nephritis 
 Osteomyelitis
 Is a foodborne illness caused by the salmonella 
 Transmission occurs via contaminated food and 
water 
 Mainly from poultry and eggs (egg shell) 
 Exotic pets (turtle) stool contain salmonella 
> 90% of reptile 
stool contain 
salmonella 
bacterium
 Diarrhea with fever 
 Abdominal cramps 
 Nausea 
 Vomiting 
Symptoms of most salmonella 
infections usually occurs 6 - 72 
hours (usually 12-36 hours) 
after ingestion of salmonella, 
and illness lasts 2-7 days and go 
away without medical 
treatment
 Stool sample are collected in 
Selenite fecal broth (incubate 24 
hour) 
- used for isolation of Salmonella 
from contaminated specimens
 Culture on Xylose Lysine Desoxycholate (XLD) 
agar. 
- xylose fermentation, lysine 
decarboxylation and production 
of hydrogen sulphide are primary 
diffrentation of salmonella from 
non-pathogenic bacteria.
 Observe colony 
● suspect if have black colony 
● discard if no black colony 
 Urea test 
● discard if positive urea 
● suspect if negative urea
 Microgene 
 Sensitivity test
Day 4 
 Microgene observation 
Lysine 
Decarboxylase + Indole - 
Glucose + Citrate utilization + 
ONPG - H2S Production + 
Voges Proskauer - Xylose - 
Ornithine 
Decarboxylase + Urea hydrolysis - 
Mannitol + Tryptophan Deaminase - 
Acceptable identification of Salmonella species
 Observe sensitivity result 
Sensitive Resistant 
Ceftriaxone Ampicillin 
Cefuroxime Amoxicillin 
Trimethoprim / Sulpha Chloramphenicol 
Penicillin -G 
 Result dispatch to ward
 Electrolyte replacement (sodium, 
potassium and chloride ions) 
- lost through vomiting 
and diarrhea 
 Routine antimicrobial therapy 
- control if the infection spreads 
from the intestine to other body parts
 Not keeping reptiles as pets (particularly if have 
young children ) 
 Proper hand washing 
 Not serving any raw meat or eggs. 
 Prevention from all stages of the food chain. 
(agricultural production, processing, 
manufacturing and preparation of foods)
