mamiitol, dulcitol, sorbitol, rhamnose 

 and inositol. No acid or gas from lac- 

 tose, sucrose, inulin, salicin or adonitol 

 and usually not from raffinose. 



Reduces trimethylamine oxide (Wood 

 and Baird, loc. cit.). 



Hydrogen sulfide produced. 



Optimum temperature 37 °C. 



Aerobic, facultative. 



Antigenic structure: [I], IV, [V],XII: 

 b: [1,2]. . . . Some strains lack antigen V 

 and some have I. 



Source: Isolated from cases of enteric 

 fever in man. Not a natural pathogen 

 of animals. 



Habitat: A natural pathogen of man 

 causing enteric fever. Also found rarely 

 in cattle, sheep, swine, lower primates 

 and chickens. 



3. Salmonella sp. (Type Abony). {Sal- 

 monella abony Kauffmann, Acta Path, et 

 Microbiol. Scand., 17, 1940, 1.) 



Antigenic structure: [I], IV, V, XII: 

 b: e, n, X. . . . 



Source: Isolated by Kauffmann from 

 a mixed culture of Salmonella abortus 

 bovis sent to him by Dr. K. Rauss, Buda- 

 pest. Later three additional cultures 

 were received from Dr. Rauss. Original 

 culture from the feces of a normal person . 



Habitat: All cultures thus far recog- 

 nized have been from human sources.
