Abstract

During 1941-1943, 20 types of Salmonella organisms were isolated from blood and feces cultures. Of 130 isolations S.paratyphi B, S.typhimurium, and S.choleraesuis accounted for 53.8%. S.paratyphi B and S.choleraesuis were found in 59% of the 44 positive blood cultures. A new type, isolated from the feces of a normal food handler, has the antigenic formula VI, VII: b-e,n,Zi5, and has been designated as S. georgia.
