Salmonella serotypes

Looking for a good reference source: the different salmonella serotypes and common sources, commonality, etc. Thanks.

Greetings,

You are in for a lot of reading! You can start with these:

https://www.cdc.gov/...pe-reports.html

https://www.ncbi.nlm...icles/PMC86943/

Especially the "Atlas" pdf from the first link is IMO really informative, though a bit outdated (but still !).

Hope it helps to get you started!

Hi kfromNE,

Might I ask Why ?

There are over 2000 of them. :smile:

Although, quoting Google, "Less than 100 serotypes account for most human infections".

There are.  :spoton: To satisfy the curiosity side of me or what I like to call being a knowledge junky. So if one is referenced in the news or if we get a hit on one of them from a raw USDA sample, I can learn more about it.

Maybe start with the, presumably, notorious 100.

IIRC, various serotypes, despite being legally zero-tolerant, actually only cause illness when present at signifcantly elevated levels. The opposite also exists of course.

PS - I found this, vaguely,  related document rather fascinating -
