Salinatis (antigenic formula, 4,12:d:eh:enz15) is a rare Salmonella serotype currently designated a triphasic variant of the diphasic serotype Duisburg (1,4,12,27:d:enz15) (underlining indicates that the O antigen is determined by phage lysogenization). Salinatis could also be related to serotype Sandiego (4,[5],12:eh:enz15), from which it might have been derived by loss of H-d flagellin genes. Nineteen Salmonella strains of serotypes Salinatis, Duisburg, and Sandiego were examined by biotyping, PvuII and SmaI ribotyping, IS200 fingerprinting, and pulsed-field gel electrophoretic profiling. Results from these methods, used alone or together, indicate that serotype Salinatis is more likely to be related to serotype Sandiego than to serotype Duisburg. For future lists of serotype names, it is recommended that Salinatis be considered a variant of Sandiego.
