Etymology
Salmonella is named after an American scientist called Salmon, and the ending -ella means 'small' in Latin, so the name meant 'Salmon's little one'. That's why the name is used for a group of tiny bacteria that can cause food poisoning. A helpful way to remember it is to think of the fish salmon, even though the bacteria are actually named for the person, not the fish.
