a

Salmonella human clinical isolates were recovered from specimens submitted to diagnostic laboratories in different outbreaks; fecal and blood isolates were obtained from patients with gastroenteritis and bacteremia, respectively. Salmonella animal clinical isolates were recovered from specimens submitted to diagnostic laboratories in different outbreaks or individual cases. Salmonella field isolates recovered from surveillance studies of on-farm healthy animals were obtained from the USDA-ARS.

b

Host site from which the specimen containing bacteria was recovered. Animal isolates were obtained from specimens from GI sites (e.g., intestinal specimens and feces) and NGI sites (e.g., spleen, liver, lung, and urine specimens, etc.); human isolates were obtained from the feces and blood of gastroenteritis and bacteremic patients, respectively; − denotes that the host site is unknown.

c

Virulence assays and the detection of the Salmonella virulence plasmid, spvB, and pef were carried out as described in Table 1, footnotes d and e.

d

Bacterial strain sources are as follows: a, University of Sydney; b, University of California, Davis; c, CA AHFSL; d, Roy Curtiss III, Arizona State University; e, USDA-ARS; f, MCPHL; g, D. Guiney, University of California, San Diego; h, UPHL.
