Salmonella Salmonella is a prokaryotic‚ rod shaped‚ bacterial organism. It is nonsporeforming and Gram-negative.(1) Salmonella is responsible for almost 60 percent of reported cases of bacterial food borne illness and 40 percent of all food borne illness of any kind. Salmonella survives digestion and reproduces in the small intestine‚ making people sick. Salmonella has hundreds of different types‚ all of which cause much the same illness in humans.

Monophasic Salmonella Typhimurium - Efficacy of vaccine administration Since mid- 1990´s a number of reports have been published on the isolation of different Salmonella strains‚ similar to S. Typhimurium but a difference in the flagella antigen‚ in several European countries as well as in the U.S.A (EFSA Journal 2010‚ Andrea et al. 2008). As known‚ serotyping of Salmonellas is based on antigenic variability of LPS (O Antigen)‚ flagella (H antigen) and capsule (VI antigen). Most Salmonella strains
