Unit 1.2 Flashcards
Salmonella spp. only 2 spp,
S. enteritidis & S. bongori
classifies Salmonella into serotypes, based on surface antigens: O & H antigens, and add’l Vi antigen which is a
special subtype of the capsule’s K antigen in S. Typhi
Kauffman-White Classification
SEROTYPES OR SALMONELLA
1. typhi
2. paratyphi A
3. paratyphi B
4. choleraesuis
5. typhimurium
6. enteritidis
- O:9/ Group D1
- O:2/ Group A
- O:4/ Group B
- O:7/ Group C1
- O:4/ Group B
- Group D
Kauffman-White Classification:
- consist of LPS protein chains exposed to the cell surface
- consist of proteins
- O antigens
- H antigens
3 spp. of Salmonella were identified in human specimens :
- specific for humans and cause severe and fatal
- non-human sources, but can also cause disease in humans
- with which most serotypes belong
- specific for humans; cause S.typhi-like disease
- found in rats & mice, but can also associate w/ man in disease
- S. typhi (Eberth’s bacillus/ Eberthella typhi)
- S. choleraesuis
- S. enteritids
- S. paratyphi A/B/C
- S. typhimurium
based on DNA homology & sequencing

_____ first (boldface numerals) ➡️ ___ (when
present) ➡️ ____ (lowercase letter) ➡️ ____ (when present; numeral)
___ separate major antigens, and ___ separate components
O antigens ➡️ Vi antigens ➡️ H antigens phase 1 ➡️ H antigens phase 2
colons separate major
antigens, and comma separate components
highly adapted to human and have no animal reservoir
S. typhi, S. paratyphi A & S. paratyphi B
infection w/ Salmonella spp. is called
salmonellosis
Pathogenesis & Clinical Manifestations of Salmonella:
- ____ inc. typhoid fever (by S. typhi) & paratyphoid fever (by S.mparatyphi), collectively call the ______
- multisystemic disease
- most common manifestation of salmonellosis
- most commonly associated w/ S.
Typhimurium & S. Enteritidis - associated commonly w/ S. Choleraesuis
- ENTERIC FEVER; Typhoidal Serotypes
- ENTERIC FEVER
- ENTEROCOLITIS -GASTROENTERITIS
- ENTEROCOLITIS - GASTROENTERITIS
- BACTEREMIA W/ FOCAL LESIONS
ENTERIC FEVER (blood cultures; stool analysis)
- 1st week
- 2nd week
- 3rd week
- 4th week
- blood cultures (+); stool analysis (-)
- blood cultures (+); stool analysis (+)
- N/A
- stool specimen (used for diagnosis of carrier state)
ENTERIC FEVER VIRULENCE FACTORS:
- adherence to intestinal epithelium in terminal ileum
- activates macrophages, resulting in pyrogenicity,leukocytosis, & shock
- found in S. Typhi only
- secreted by intracellular typhoidal serotype within vesicles and released into extracellular space
- resistance to killing by complement-mediated bacteriolysis
- long-term survival & transmission by
targeting immune system and CNS
- Fimbriae
- Endotoxin (LPS)
- Vi antigenic
- Polysaccharide Capsule (Vi Ag)
- Polysaccharide Capsule (Vi Ag)
- Typhoid Toxin
ENTEROCOLITIS - GASTROENTERITIS VIRULENCE FACTORS:
blood cultures =
stool cultures =
- similar to those in typhoidal salmonellae
- LT (gCMP) or ST (cAMP) similar to those of E. coli, which causes hypersecretion
- associated w/ inflammatory response
blood cultures = negative
stool cultures = positive
- Fimbriae & Endotoxin
- Enterotoxin
- Cytotoxin
BACTEREMIA W/ FOCAL LESIONS
blood cultures =
stool cultures =
positive
positive
