Etymology

The word 'salmonella' is derived from the name of Theobald Smith, who first described the bacterium in 1885, although the name was later given in honor of Daniel Elmer Salmon, an American veterinary pathologist. The initial recognition of salmonella as a cause of disease came from its association with a swine disease. By the late 19th century, it had been identified as a human pathogen, leading to the importance of sanitation and food safety practices in preventing foodborne illness. In the 20th century, the understanding of salmonella evolved, focusing on its numerous serotypes, many of which are now recognized as unique pathogens. The genus Salmonella is now known to encompass over 2,500 different serotypes, some of which are commonly associated with outbreaks.
