Word origin
The word 'salmonella' is derived from the name of Theobald Smith, an American bacteriologist, who first identified the bacteria in 1885, along with Daniel Elmer Salmon, a veterinary pathologist, to whom it was erroneously attributed. This group of bacteria was initially connected to pig diseases, which is why it was named after Salmon. The term was officially introduced in scientific literature by the early 20th century as a way to categorize the different serotypes within this genus. Salmonella has since become a significant concern in public health, especially concerning foodborne illnesses.
