Salmonella was named after Daniel Elmer Salmon, an American veterinary pathologist although it was his partner and contemporary Theobald Smith (better known for his work on anaphylaxis) who first discovered the bacterium in 1885 from pigs

It sounds more like an ice cream flavor or a city in Central America.
It is a good word.

How about Candida for a yeast infection. I agree some nice names for bad things.

Because it would sound even funnier if you called your son/daughter Salmonella.
