| HAMAP: Salmonella typhi complete proteome |
| Species code: | SALTI |
| Taxonomy: | Bacteria; Proteobacteria; Gammaproteobacteria; Enterobacteriales; Enterobacteriaceae; Salmonella (TaxID: 90370) [NEWT/ NCBI] |
| Description: | Gram-negative rod with peritrichous flagella. It is the aetiological agent of the typhoid fever, a serious disease of humans leading to 600'000 annual fatalities. Many S.enterica serovars actively invade the mucosal surface of the intestine but are normally contained in healthy individuals by the local immune defence mechanisms. However S.typhi has evolved the ability to spread to the deeper tissues of humans, including liver, spleen and bone marrow. Humans are the only known natural host of S.typhi, with S.typhi showing limited pathogenicity for most animals. S.typhi CT18 is an example of an emerging multiple drug resistant microorganism. Strain Ty2 has no plasmids. |
