94. Salmonella anatis (Rettger and 

 Scoville) Bergej' et al. {Bacterium anatis 

 Rettger aud Scoville, Abst. Bact., 3, 

 1910, S; not Bacterium anatis Migula, 

 Syst. d. Bakt., 2, 1900, 364; Bacteriuvi 

 anatum Rettger and Scoville, Jour. Inf. 

 Dis., 26, 1920, 217; Escherichia anata 

 Bergey et al., Manual, 1st ed., 1923, 198; 

 Bergey et al., IManual, 2nd ed., 1925, 

 238; Salmonella anatum Bergey et al., 

 Manual, 3rd ed., 1930, 344.) From 

 Latin, of the duck. 



With the transfer of this organism to 

 the genus Salmonella, the original species 

 name anatis again becomes available in 

 spite of the earlier use of this species 

 name by ]\Iigula for Cornil and Toupet's 

 Bacillus der Enten-cholera (Compt. 

 rend. Acad. Sci., Paris, 106, 1888, 1737). 

 The latter organism is stated bj' Rettger 

 and Sco\alle (1920, loc. cii., 220) to be 

 indistinguishable from Pasteurella avi- 

 septica. 



Morphologj^ and cultural characters 

 like those of Salmonella enteritidis. 



Kauffmann (Ztschr. f. Hyg., 119, 1937, 

 352) describes a lactose-splitting variant 

 of this species. 



Antigenic structure: III, X, XXVI: e, 

 h: 1, 6. . . . 



Reduces trimethylamine oxide (Wood 

 and Baird {loc. cit.). 



Source: Isolated from an epizootic of 

 keel in ducklings. Also found in in- 

 testinal infections in chickens and man. 

 Frequently occurs in association with 

 Salmonella typhimiiriiim. 



Habitat : Widely distributed in man 

 and domestic animals. 



95. Salmonella sp. (Tj^pe Muenster). 

 {Salmonella anatum var. muenster, Kauff- 

 mann and Silberstein, Cent. f. Bakt., I 

 Abt., Orig., 132, 1934, 431; Salmonella 

 m,uenster Kauffmann, Ztschr. f. Hyg., 

 HO, 1937, 177.) 



Antigenic structure: III, X, XXVI: e, 

 h: 1, 5. . . . 



Source: Isolated by Dr. Besserer in 

 Muenster from food poisoning. Also 

 isolated in Uruguay from human sources. 



Habitat: Xot known from any but 

 human sources as yet. 



96. Salmonella sp. (Type Xyborg). 

 {Salmonella anatum, var. nyborg, Kris- 

 tensen and Bojlen, Cent. f. Bakt., I 

 Abt., Orig., 136, 1936, 294; Salmonella 

 nyborg Kauffmann, Ztschr. f. Hyg., 120, 

 1937, 189.) 



Antigenic structure: III, X, XXVI: e, 

 h: 1, 7. . . . 



Source : From a case of acute enteritis 

 in a young girl in Nyborg, Denmark. 



Habitat: Ivnown only from human 

 sources as yet. 



97. Salmonella sp. (Type Vejle). {Sal- 

 monella vejle Harhoff , quoted from Kauff- 

 mann, Die Bakteriologie der Salmonella- 

 Gruppe, Kopenhagen, 1941, 274.) 



Antigenic structure: III, X, XXVI: e, 

 h:l,2, 3. . . . 



Source: Isolated by E. M0ller, Copen- 

 hagen, from a case of acute gastro- 

 enteritis. 



Habitat: Xot reported from other 

 sources as yet. 



98. Salmonella sp. (Type Meleagris). 

 {Salmonella meleagridis Bruner and 

 Edwards, Amer. Jour. Hyg., 3J^, 1941, 

 82; not Salmonella meleagridis Rettger, 

 Plastridge and Cameron, Jour. Inf. 

 Dis., 53, 1933, 279.) 



Antigenic structure: III, X, XXVI: e, 

 h: 1, w. . . . 



Source: Original cultures isolated by 

 Dr. B. S. Pomeroy, Univ. of Minnesota, 

 from two distinct outbreaks of infection 

 in turkey poults. Stated to be the same 

 as Salmonella bantam from Batavia, 

 Java (Kauffmann, Acta Path, et Mi- 

 crobiol. Scand., 19, 1942, 529). 



Habitat : In addition to the two strains 

 isolated in Minnesota (Bruner and Ed- 

 wards, Kentucky Agr. Exp. Sta., Bull. 

 434, 1942), the same type was recognized 

 among cultures received from Massa- 

 chusetts, Michigan, Pennsylvania, 

 ^Maryland, South America and Japan. 

 Also isolated from German soldiers in
