Overview
Historical Perspective
Salmonela was initially isolated from the intestines of pigs, by Salmon, an American veterinary pathologist. The bacteria was first associated with hog cholera by Theobald Smith in 1885. However, the disease was later discovered to be associated with a viral infection, with secondary infection due to Salmonella.
