Overview

Salmonella enterica, originally called Salmonella choleraesuis, was discovered by scientist Theobald Smith in 1885 and was named after Daniel E. Salmon, an American veterinary pathologist. Smith originally believed the bacteria was responsible for causing hog cholera, but the disease was later discovered to be a viral infection with a secondary infection due to Salmonella.
