Abstract

Salmonella is a motile, non-spore forming, Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium in the family Enterobacteriaceae. Non-motile variants include Salmonella Gallinarum and Salmonella Pullorum. The genus Salmonella is divided into two species that can cause illness in humans, Salmonella bongori and Salmonella enterica, the latter being characterized as being the greatest public health concern.
