- Salmonellosis
- * Can cause haemorrhagic disease by secondary thrombocytopenic disease.
- Salmonella in Osteomyelitis
- In arthritis of horses
Overview
- Important member of the enterobacteria
- Cause disease in humans and animals
- Reservior of infection in poulty, pigs, rodents, cattle, dogs
- Cause enteritis and systemic infection (septicaemia and abortion)
Characteristics
- Non-lactose fermentor
- Do not produce urease or indole from tryptophan
- Utlise citrate as a carbon source
- Usually produce hydrogen sulphide
