Would newly turned zombies, as in , still have a lethal bite? It seemed like a few minutes had passed before the walker rose, and unless their teeth hadn't been brushed since the zombie outbreak their mouth would still be clean.

You die from them biting you because it causes you to develop a high fever that kills you.
That's my question: Would a freshly turned zombie, whose body hasn't started decaying and by all knowledge is only affected in the brain, still cause the fever?
Yes. As far as anything that has been shown it has nothing to do with them decaying or anything like that. I believe, and his is just me basing it of something I will explain in a second, as soon as the zombie turns it must have something that applies some sort of, for lack of better words, disease to the system. This isn't the same as the infection but rather maybe like a snake's poisonous bite. So once it spreads through your system it causes you to develop high fever and other symptoms which eventually end up killing you and then you turn.
Now the reason I say this is, in the comics and not to spoil anything that might come in the show in the future I will mask this:

I think they can kill from bites because of some kind of zombie strength.
The zombies don't have to transmit anything; everyone's already infected.
