Salmonella was named after Daniel Elmer Salmon (1850–1914), an American veterinary surgeon. Salmonella species are non-spore-forming, transcendently motile enterobacteria with cell breadths between around 0.7 and 1.5 μm, lengths from 2 to 5 μm, and peritrichous flagella (all around the cell body).They are chemotrophs, getting their vitality from oxidation[1] and decrease responses utilizing natural sources. They are moreover facultative anaerobes, competent of creating ATP with oxygen ("vigorously") when it is accessible, or when oxygen isn't accessible, utilizing other electron acceptors or maturation ("anaerobically").
