What is Salmonella?
By Dr Tomislav Meštrović, MD, PhD
Salmonella is a ubiquitous human and animal pathogen which causes almost hundred million cases of gastroenteritis each year throughout the world. Salmonellosis in humans usually presents as a self-limiting food poisoning (gastroenteritis), albeit it can occasionally manifest as a serious systemic infection (enteric fever) which requires swift antibiotic treatment.
Most cases of salmonellosis in humans occur after the consumption of contaminated food products such as poultry meat, pork, beef, eggs, vegetables, juices and other types of foods. Prudent use of antimicrobials in human medicine and agriculture is a pivotal step in minimizing the emergency aspects and spread of resistant Salmonella.
