“…Both biotypes infect other avian genera (9). Isolations from mammalian species are rare, although the duisburg variety of S. gallinarum (25, 30) and the S. pullorum biotype (29) have been found in the past to occasionally enter the food chain and cause human food poisoning.…”

By experimental infection, host-specific SalmoneUa serotypes were shown to demonstrate specificities for chickens, mice, and other laboratory animals. Following oral inoculation, four strains of Salmonella gallinarum and two S. pullorum strains, isolated from diseased poultry, were more virulent for chickens than for mice. By contrast, four strains each of S. choleraesuis and S. dublin, isolated from diseased pigs and cattle, respectively, were more virulent for mice than for chickens. These results were also reflected in the degree of virulence expressed after parenteral inoculation. In addition, S. choleraesuis, but not other serotypes, killed rats, guinea pigs, and rabbits. S. typhimurium strains varied widely in their virulence, and some strains were virulent for both mice and chickens. Four other serotypes isolated from poultry or human food poisoning cases and a nonpathogenic Escherichia coli strain were much less virulent for both experimental host species. Most of the host-specific SalmoneUla serotypes studied were able to colonize the distal alimentary tract and invade the tissues in both mice and chickens to various degrees. There was, however, a greater difference in the ability to survive and multiply in the visceral organs, particularly the spleen and the liver, once invasion had occurred which correlated with the virulence for the host species involved.

“…Many investigators (Gibbons and Moore, 1944;Schneider, 1946;Gibbons, 1947;Solowey et al, 1947;Solowey and Rosenstadt, 1948) have reported the occurrence of these microorganisms in eggs, and McCullough and Eisele (1951a, 1951b, 1951c, 1951d) established the pathogenicity for humans of strains of Salmonella derived from spray-dried whole egg. Outbreaks of Salmonella infections which were traced to eggs have been described (Watt, 1945;Mitchell et al, 1946;Medical Research Council, 1947). Edwards et al (1948) state that "eggs and food products containing eggs may more often be the medium of transmission of Salmonella from animals to man than any other animal 1 This paper reports research undertaken by the Quartermaster Food and Container Institute for the Armed Forces and has been assigned No.…”

BYRNE, RAYMAN AND SCHNEIDER The salient hazards of maintaining a collection must be known and guarded against. Among these are infestation with mites, contamination of cultures, especially with molds which grow at high humidities, misnumbering or mislabelling of cultures and so forth. The NURB collection is devoted to organisms of industrial importance, especially in the field of fermentation. This specialization is emphasized in order to avoid overloading facilties with types not adapted to fermentation work. The personnel of the NURB unit are required to have thorough training in the field encompassing the microorganisms in their charge. Interests in taxonomy are encouraged and every effort is made to see that opportunity exists to carry on a sustained taxonomic investigation of selected microorganisms. About 1000 cultures per person is the proper assignment in maintaining the collection adequately. This, however, is dependent upon use of lyophilization for culture preservation.

“…Being avian host-adapted, S. Pullorum poses a very low zoonotic risk (Shivaprasad, 2000;OIE, 2012). Historical case reports in the literature indicate S. Pullorum can induce an acute, self-limiting enteritis after consuming highly contaminated food, typically infected eggs (Mitchell et al, 1946;Shivaprasad, 2000). More prolonged gastroenteritis was attributed to S. Pullorum in one case, but the immune status of the patient is unclear (Judefind, 1947).…”
