Abstract
The salmonellae are a diverse group of bacteria within the family
Enterobacteriaceae
that includes two species,
Salmonella enterica
and
Salmonella bongori
. In order to characterize the phylogenetic relationships of the species and subspecies of
Salmonella
, we analyzed four housekeeping genes,
gapA, phoP, mdh
and
recA
, comprising 3,459 bp of nucleotide sequence data for each isolate sequenced. Sixty-one isolates representing the most common serotypes of the seven subspecies of
Salmonella enterica
and six isolates of
Salmonella bongori
were included in this study. We present a robust phylogeny of the
Salmonella
species and subspecies that clearly defines the lineages comprising diphasic and monophasic subspecies. Evidence of intersubspecies lateral gene transfer of the housekeeping gene
recA
, which has not previously been reported, was obtained.
