Salmonella S typhi, S paratyphi-A, S schottmuelleri, S choleraesuis, S typhimurium, and S enteritidis |
Salmonellosis S typhi, S paratyphi-A, and S schottmuelleri cause enteric fever. S schottmuelleri produces septicemia and focal infections. S typhimurium and S enteritidis produce gastroenteritis [63]. |
