Salmonella enterica serotype Meleagridis
General overview of Salmonella and Salmonellosis
Salmonella is a genus of rod-shaped, gram-negative, non-spore forming, predominantly motile enterobacteria, that cause more than 104 cases of infections per year in the United States. Salmonellosis is an important medical problem; although infection with non-typhoid Salmonella often causes mild self-limited illness, severe sequelae including death may occur, particularly in immunocompromised hosts. The incidence of salmonellosis is higher in developing than in developed countries and in developing countries, food handlers may be a reservoir for further transmission of infection (Chalker and Blaser 1988).
Many species of Salmonella have been isolated from eggs and egg products (McCullough and Eisele 1951). Salmonella enterica serotype Meleagridis is one of the most common serotypes of Salmonella (Zaidi, McDermott et al. 2006). Twenty human isolates of S. Meleagridis had been identified in Canada so far during 1997.
Summary Data
McCullough, and Eisele (1951) inoculated human volunteers orally with the S. Meleagridis strain I,II and III.

Summary
The data set of Salmonella Meleagridis strain II failed to show test of trend and hence was not analyzed. Strain II and strain III could not be pooled.
