1 Nov 1999
Abstract excerpt
Salmonella enterica serotype Enteritidis (S. enteritidis) is a major food-borne pathogen, and its incidence among all Salmonella serotypes has increased dramatically in the last two decades. To study the virulence characteristics of clinical isolates of S. enteritidis, we determined the 50% lethal doses (LD(50)) in mice of isolates of two major phage types (4 and 8). Isolates of both phage types showed a wide...
