we call it Vi bc theres a strong correlation btwn virulence and capsule antigens
salmonella H antigens
- specific, phase 1
- non specific phase 2
salmonella serotypes
- monophasic - only specific
- diphasic - not specific
salmonella resistance
fair but can survive in damp shaded soil for up to 9months
