General Information:
The complete Salmonella library is comprised of 313 entries: 309 Salmonella enterica subspecies
enterica isolates and four Salmonella enterica subspecies arizonae isolates. In total 55 serotypes are
represented, including the thirty most frequently isolated Salmonella serotypes from human sources
reported to the CDC in 2005, as well as the thirty most frequently isolated serotypes from both clinical and
non-clinical nonhuman sources reported to the CDC and NVSL in 2005 1 . The serotype associated with
each isolate is provided in the Class 1 field. To view this information, select Class 1 as a viewable report
field when generating your report.
The entire Salmonella library is available for comparison. However, for ease of use the library has been
divided into three separate data sets on the basis of O-antigen serogroups:
1) The Salmonella serogroup B sub-library includes 91 isolates.
2) The Salmonella serogroup C sub-library, including groups C1, C2 and C3 as noted above,
consists of 130 isolates.
3) The Salmonella serogroups D, E, F, G, K, L, O, and R sub-library is made up of the remaining
92 isolates.
For laboratories with antisera available for determining the O group, we recommend that this procedure
be performed first in order to determine which sub-library to employ for comparison.
In general, the libraries show clustering on the basis of the serotype as per the Kauffmann-White scheme.
When comparing your samples to the DiversiLab Salmonella Libraries, it is best to use the Classification
Report and the Top Match module. If the query sample exhibits a high percent similarity to a library entry,
next view the electropherogram overlays to closely examine the samples.
