Salmonella poisoning leads to an infection known as Salmonellosis. Every year, approximately 40,000 cases of Salmonella poisoning are reported in the United States. Since many milder cases are not diagnosed or reported, the actual number of infections may be more than 30 times greater. Salmonellosis is more common in the summer than winter.

Salmonella is the genus name for a large number (over 2,500) of types of bacteria. Each type is distinctly identifiable by its specific protein coating. The types are otherwise closely related. Salmonella bacteria are rod-shaped, flagellated, Gram-negative, and are known to cause disease in humans, animals, and birds (especially poultry) worldwide. The two major diseases caused by Salmonella spp. are gastroenteritis and typhoid fever (typhoid and paratyphoid fevers) in humans.

• Diarrhoea or constipation.
• Headaches.
• Stomach cramps.
• Nausea and vomiting.
• Fever.
• Possibly, blood in the faeces.

Salmonella food poisoning results in violent illness, often leading to a visit to the emergency room. In most outbreaks, some victims require hospitalization. Our experience is that in larger Salmonella outbreaks, at least one person develops Reiter's syndrome and at least one person dies. The financial burden for a family can be staggering.
