Background: Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Derby (antigenic formula 1,4,[5],12:f,g:[1,2]) is a serovar of the O:4 (B) serogroup. S. Derby is a common serotype in pigs and pork products in Europe, raw pork in China (particularly Luohe, in Henan province). It is one of the dominant Salmonella serovars isolated from slaughter pigs in Europe (EFSA, 2008), and ranks #4 in the most frequently isolated Salmonella serovars from non-human sources in the United States.
Animal reservoir: The most common reservoir for serovar Derby is swine. However, it has also been reported in poultry, eggs and dairy products.
