SALMONELLA ENTERICA SUBSP.ENTERICA SEROVAR CHOLERAESUIS
| Class: | Gamma Proteobacteria |
| Genus: | Salmonella |
| Species: | Salmonella enterica subsp.enterica serovar choleraesuis |
| Description: | This is Gram-negative pathogenic bacterium.Salmonella enterica serovar Choleraesuis (S.Choleraesuis), a highly invasive serovar among non-typhoidal Salmonella. Those strains that produce H2S are designated as serovar Choleraesuis biovar Kunzen-dorf. |
| Synonyms: | Salmonella enterica serovar Choleraesuis; Salmonella choleraesuis serovar Choleraesuis; Salmonella choleraesuis choleraesuis. |
| Source: | It is a common bacterial isolate from swine with porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome,which is now found worldwide and leads to considerable economic loss in the swine industry. |
| Pathogenicity: | It usually causes sepsis or extra-intestinal focal infections in humans. S.Choleraesuis produces fewer diarrheas when infecting humans. when S.Choleraesuis infects humans,it usually causes invasive infections. It is one of the most common etiologic organisms for infective aneurysms,a devastating endovascular infectionin humans. S.Choleraesuis also can cause swine paratyphoid,with clinical manifestations of enterocolitis and septicemia. |
