Salmonella is a bacterium that causes a diarrheal disease known as gastroenteritis. It is a food-borne disease spread through consumption of contaminated foods, especially eggs and poultry and is caused by rapid bacterial growth in these foods.

"Chlamydia" is the common name for the disease caused by the bacertium that has the scientific name Chlamydia trachomatis. This was the name given to the bacterium by those who researched it because the term comes from the Greek word meaning "cloak" since most people who have the disease do not know it since it often does not cause symtpoms (they are "cloaked"). It was first discovered in 1907, but I have never see that the credit for its discovery has been given to one scientist in particular.
