Species code:	SALAR
Taxonomy:	Bacteria; Proteobacteria; Gammaproteobacteria; Enterobacteriales; Enterobacteriaceae; Salmonella (TaxID: 41514) [NEWT/ NCBI]
Description:	Salmonella is a Gram-negative bacterium, a cylindrical rod of size about 2 microns by 0.5 microns. Most bacteria in the species S. enterica belong to one of seven subspecies; all but subspecies I normally grow only in cold-blooded animals. This species, subspecies IIIa (S. arizonae) is naturally found in reptiles, but also causes outbreaks of salmonellosis in turkeys and sheep and can occasionally produce both gastroenteritis and serious disseminated disease in humans (typically less than 10 cases/year in the USA). Many human infections can be traced to contact with reptiles or ingestion of various reptile products, particularly from rattlesnakes. It makes only one type of flagellum. The strain of S. arizonae (62:z4,z23:-) being sequenced is CDC346-86; it was named RSK2980 by R.K. Selander and is strain SARC5 of the Salmonella Reference C set. It appears to be the most divergent subspecies among the S. enterica. It can be obtained from the Salmonella Genetic Stock Centre as SGSC4693 (modified from http://genome.wustl.edu/genome.cgi?GENOME=Salmonella%20enterica%20subspecies%20IIIa%20(Arizonae)%20serovar%2062:z4,z23:--).
