Salmonella Chorellaeresuis is a major cause of intestinal diseases. The sequencing of the bacteria's genome revealed 4.9 million base pairs and about 5,000 genes, said Dr. Hu Songnian, leader of the project, who is from the Hangzhou Genome Institute.

Of the 16 million people who fall ill annually from Salmonella Chorellaeresuis, 600,000 die.
