Researchers at Texas Tech University have discovered a new serotype of the salmonella bacteria which the university says will help provide a better understanding of the bacteria and provide new ways of looking at its prevention.
The discovery of the serotype, named Salmonella Lubbock after the city where it was found, was made by Marie Bugarel, a research assistant professor at the university’s department of animal and food sciences in the college of agricultural sciences and natural resources. The new serotype was confirmed by international references.
