salmonellae
Noun
Examples
An infection can only begin after living salmonellae (not merely Salmonella-produced toxins) reach the gastrointestinal tract.
Bloodstream infections caused by nontyphoidal salmonellae in Africa were reported in 2012 to have a case fatality rate of 20–25%.
By the end of the incubation period, the nearby host cells are poisoned by endotoxins released from the dead salmonellae.
