A “New” Salmonella from a Case of Enteric Fever

Abstract

The list of bacteria recorded as causative agents in enteric fever and “food-poisoning” increases steadily, and the proved pathogens already number eleven types, of which three have been found in both continued fever and food-poisoning, three in continued fever alone, and five in food-poisoning alone. This list will undoubtedly be added to when cultural methods for the diagnosis of these conditions are more widely employed, especially in the tropics.
