DESCRIPTION OF THE DIFFERENT SPECIES, GROUP E 739 



GROUP E. 



Salm. london A.F. Ill, X, XXVI, 1, v ^^ 1,6... 



Isolated by White (1926) from a patient at Reading with gastro-enteritis and described 

 as Type L. Later called loiidon by Kauffmann. (See also Kauffmann 19306, 1931, 

 1934a, 1939a, Kauffmann and Silberstein 1934.) Cultivated by Cernozubov, Filipovic and 

 Staval (1936-37) in Jugoslavia from the faeces of three patients who developed febrile 

 diarrhoea, accompanied by the passage of blood and mucus, after eating sausage. Found 

 by Hormaeche, PelufFo and Aleppo (1936) in infantile diarrhoea in Uruguay. Isolated 

 from mesenteric glands of normal pigs in Uruguay (Hormaeche and Salsamendi 1939) 

 and in Great Britain (Scott 1940). Also isolated from chickens in the United States 

 (Edwards 1939), and from imported American spray-dried egg in Great Britain. 



Salm. give A.F. Ill, X, XXVI, I, v ^-^ 1,7... 



Isolated from a patient in Spain with long-standing diarrhoea. Described by Kauff- 

 mann (19376). Since isolated from gastro-enteritis in a child in the United States (see 

 Bornstein, Saphra and Strauss 1941), from mesenteric lymph nodes of healthy pigs in 

 the United States (Rubin, Scherago and Weaver 1942), and from chickens in the United 

 States (see Mallmann et al. 1942). Found also in imported American spray-dried egg. 



Salm. Uganda A.F. Ill, X, XXVI, 1, z^j ^^ 1, 5 . . . 



Isolated from the spleen of a fatal case of pyrexia of unknown origin in Uganda. 

 Described by Kauffmann (1940c). The 1 antigen is not identical with that of london 

 and dar-es-salaam, nor are the 1, 5 antigens identical with the 1, 5 antigens of Salm. 

 thompson. Phase 1 contains small amounts of antigens v and w. Distinguished bio- 

 chemically from london by its fermentation of i-tartrate, its more rapid fermentation of 

 Z-tartrate, and its failure to ferment inositol. 



Salm. anatum A.F. Ill, X, XXVI, e, h <--> 1,6... 



Isolated from an epidemic intestinal infection of ducklings, known as keel disease 

 (Rettger and Scoville 1919, 1920). (See also Edwards and Rettger 1927, Lovell 19326, 

 Kauffmann 1934a, Kauffmann and Silberstein 1934). Many early strains described under 

 this name were really Salm. ttjphi-murmni. Has been isolated by Hormaeche, Pelufifo 

 and Aleppo (1936, 1940) from infantile diarrhoea in Uruguay ; by Rauss (1941) in Hungary 

 from the faeces of healthy persons ; by Edwards (1939) in the United States from chickens 

 and turkeys ; by workers in Great Britain from cases of food poisoning and from imported 

 American spray-dried egg ; from mesenteric lymph nodes of normal pigs in the United 

 States by Rubin, Scherago and Weaver (1942) and in Mexico by Varelii and Zozaya ( 1942) ; 

 and from silver foxes in the United States (Benedict et al. 1941). 



Salm. muenster A.F. Ill, X, XXVI, e, h <-^ 1, 5 . . . 



Isolated from a food-poisoning outbreak due to raw horse-flesh. Described by Kauff- 

 mann and Silberstein (1934). Also met with in cases of infantile diarrhoea in Uruguay 

 (Hormaeche, Pelufifo and Aleppo 1940). Dififers biochemically from Salm. anatum in 

 fermenting inositol and in failing to ferment i-tartrate. 



Salm. vejle A.F. Ill, X, XXVI, e, h ^-^ 1, 2, 3 . . . 



According to Kauffmann (1941) this organism was isolated by Moller at Copenhagen 

 from acute gastro-enteritis, and described by Harhoflf. 



Salm. amager A.F. Ill, X, XXVI, y ^^ 1, 2, 3 . . . 



Isolated in Denmark from the faeces of a patient suffering from enteritis. Described 

 by Kauffmann (1939a). Non-pathogenic to mice by the mouth. 



Salm. shangani A.F. Ill, X, XXVI, d ^-» 1^ 5 . . . 



Isolated from faeces of a patient with febrile diarrhoea and a commencing miscarriage 

 at Zanzibar. Described by Kauffmann (1939a). The d antigen is not identical with that 

 of typhi. Non-pathogenic to mice by the mouth.
