About Salmonella
bacteria of the genus Salmonella produce one of the most common and widespread foodborne diseases: salmonellosis. It is generally characterized by the sudden onset of fever, abdominal pain, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, headache, myalgia, and other systemic symptoms.
In most cases, the symptoms of salmonellosis are relatively mild and patients recover without specific treatment. However, in some cases, particularly in young children and the elderly, the dehydration caused by the disease can be severe and life-threatening.
