740 SALMONELLA 



Salm. meleagridis A.F. Ill, X, XXVI, e, h -<— > 1, w 



(Name derived from meleagris — a kind of guinea-fowl ; pronounced melgagridie). 

 Isolated in Minnesota from outbreaks of infection in turkey poults ; later found in Mass- 

 achusetts, Michigan and California. Described by Bruner and Edwards (19416). Isolated 

 also from a patient with a typhoid-like fever in Venezuela and from New York sewage 

 (Bornstein and Saphra 1942) ; from the mesenteric lymph nodes of normal pigs in Mexico 

 (Varela and Zozaya 1942); from German soldiers in Norway (see Kauffmann 1941); 

 and from American dried egg in England. As in Salm. worthington, the H antigens in 

 Phase 2 are common in Phase 1 of other Salmonella types. 



Salm. nyborg A.F. Ill, X, XXVI, e, h ^-> 1, 7 . . . 



Isolated in Denmark from a case of acute enteritis in a child of 6 years. Described 

 by Kristensen and Bojlen (1936) and studied by Kauffmann (19376). The O antigen 

 is not completely identical with that of Salm. anatum, as an anatum serum after absorption 

 with nyborg still contains agglutinins for anatum and for other organisms containing the 

 III, X, XXVI combination. 



Salm. Zanzibar A.F. Ill, X, XXVI, k -«— > 1, 5 . . . 



. Isolated from faeces of a healthy carrier in Zanzibar. Described by Kauffmann (1939a). 

 The k antigen is identical with that of thompson. The antigen is slightly aberrant. 

 Non-pathogenic to mice by the mouth. 



Salm. lexington A.F. Ill, X, XXVI, z^o ^-> 1, 5 . . . 



Isolated from mesenteric lymph nodes of normal pigs. Described by Edwards, Bruner 

 and Rubin (1940). (See also Rubin et al. 1942.) According to Kauffmann (1941) an 

 organism having the same antigenic formula was found independently by Erber in the 

 Dutch East Indies and described as Salm. hatavia. The O antigen of Salm. lexington is 

 slightly aberrant and contains a special factor in addition to the III, X, XXVI factors. 



Salm. weltevreden A.F. Ill, X, XXVI, r ^^ z, . . . 



Salm. newington A.F. Ill, XV, e, h ^-> 1, 6 . . . 



Isolated by Rettger from ducklings in Connecticut, and described by Edwards (1937). 

 Also isolated from 3 cases of gastro-enteritis in man in the United States and from sewage 

 (Bornstein and Saphra 1942) ; from chickens and turkeys in the United States by Edwards 

 (1939) ; from the mesenteric lymph nodes of normal pigs in Uruguay (Hormaeche and 

 Salsamendi 1939) and in the United States (Rubin et al. 1942) ; from silver foxes 

 in the United States (Benedict et al. 1941) ; and from imported spray-dried egg in Great 

 Britain. Phase 2 contains 4 in addition to the 1 and 6 factors. Under the name of Salm. 

 tim, Kauffmann (19376) described a variant oi newington, isolated from two patients suffer- 

 ing from gastro-enteritis in Denmark. It is differentiated from newington by the greater 

 complexity of the e, h antigen, and by its late or inconstant fermentation of maltose and 

 dextrin. 



Salm. selandia A.F. Ill, XV, e, h ^^ 1, 7 . . . 



Isolated from the faeces of a young sailor, belonging to S.S. Selandia, who on a long 

 voyage to Asia and Australia had suffered from repeated diarrhcea. On his return to 

 Denmark he developed fever, lung symptoms, and diarrhoea following constipation. 

 Described by Kauffmann (19376). Also found in Havana (SeUgmann, Saphra and Wasser- 

 mann 1944). 



Salm. new-brunswick A.F. Ill, XV, 1, v < — y 1, 7 . . . 



Isolated from a baby chick. Described by Edwards (1937). Found also in mesenteric 

 lymph nodes of normal pigs in the United States (Rubin et al. 1942). Two strains have 

 been isolated in Denmark, one from a woman with acute gastro-enteritis, the other from 

 a patient who had returned from the tropics and was suspected of having malaria (Kauff- 

 mann 1941).
