AB  - Salmonellosis  includes  infection  by  any  of  approximately  2000  serotypes  of  salmonellae.  The  taxonomy  of  Salmonella  species  has  been  confusing.  All  Salmonella  serotypes  are  members  of  a  single  species,  Salmonella  enterica.  Human  infections  are  caused  almost  exclusively  by  S  enterica  subsp  enterica,  of  which  three  serotypes—typhi,  typhimurium,  and  choleraesuis—are  predominantly  isolated.  Three  clinical  patterns  of  infection  are  recognized:  (1)  enteric  fever,  the  best  example  of  which  is  typhoid  fever,  due  to  serotype  typhi;  (2)  acute  enterocolitis,  caused  by  serotype  typhimurium,  among  others;  and  (3)  the  “septicemic”  type,  characterized  by  bacteremia  and  focal  lesions,  exemplified  by  infection  with  serotype  choleraesuis.  All  types  are  transmitted  by  ingestion  of  the  organism,  usually  from  tainted  food  or  drink.
