Background:  Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar serovar Thompson (antigenic formula 6,7,14:k:1,5) is part of Group O:7 (C1). Members of this group can be lysogenized by phage 14 (O:6,7 ––> O:6,7,14, former group C4). Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Cardiff has been combined with Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Thompson. The first isolation of serovar Thompson was reported by Scott (1926) during a foodborne illness outbreak in Yorkshire, suspected to be linked to the consumption of rabbit and beef pie. Surveillance data indicate that serovar Thompson has remained one of the top ten Salmonella serovars causing diarrhea in both China and US over the last ten years. Zhang et al. suggested that serovar Thompson can be transmitted between poultry farms and humans.
