However, in some persons the diarrhea may be so severe that the patient needs to be hospitalized. In these patients, the Salmonella infection may spread from the intestines to the blood stream, and then to other body sites and can cause death unless the person is treated promptly with antibiotics. The elderly, infants, and those with impaired immune systems are more likely to have a severe illness. What sort of germ is Salmonella?

Classification bacterial Description Salmonella is bacterial infection caused from eating contaminated food or drinking contaminated water. Salmonellae non-spore-forming, gram-negative rods of the family Eterobacteriaceae. S. typhosa cause typhoid fever, and other S. cause diarrhea. Symptoms: Symptoms can include severe diarrhea, fever, chills, abdominal discomfort, and occasionally vomiting. The symptoms generally appear one to three days after exposure. Serious bloodstream infections can occur, particularly in the very young or elderly. ( BW Contagious Period: The infectious period can vary from several days to many months. Those who have been treated with oral antibiotics tend to carry the germ longer than others. Infected food handlers, health care workers, and individuals associated with daycare must obtain the approval of their local health department before returning to work or daycare. (

KidsHealth Parents Infections Signs and Symptoms: Salmonellosis is a foodborne illness caused by the bacteria salmonella. Symptoms include nausea, vomiting , abdominal cramps, diarrhea (sometimes bloody), fever , and headache . Because many different kinds of illnesses can cause these symptoms, salmonella gastroenteritis should be diagnosed by laboratory tests that can identify the bacteria in an infected person's stool. Once the salmonella bacteria has been identified, further testing can determine its specific type and which antibiotics can be used to treat it. The most common types of salmonella are typhimurium and enteriditis ; they have been causing illness for more than 100 years. A new strain of typhimurium, DT104, is resistant to seven different antibiotics that normally would kill any salmonella strain, making treatment options more limited. Description: Salmonella are bacteria that cause an infection of the gastrointestinal system in humans. The bacteria can be found in water, soil, kitchen surfaces , animal feces, raw meats, poultry, and eggs. The disease is usually limited to the intestinal tract, but the salmonella organisms can spread to other parts of the body, such as blood or bone. Salmonella can cause typhoid fever, the symptoms of which include fever, abdominal pain, headache, malaise, lethargy, skin rash, constipation, and delirium.

KidsHealth Teens Infections Chris never thought that his pet would make him sick. After all, he'd decided on an iguana because he wasn't allergic to them like he was to dogs and cats. But when Chris started having a fever, abdominal cramps, and diarrhea, he went to see the doctor. The doctor diagnosed him with an infection called salmonellosis (pronounced: sal-muh-neh- loh -sis) and said that the iguana may have been the cause. What Is Salmonellosis? Salmonellosis is an illness caused by Salmonella bacteria. An infection with these bacteria usually affects the gastrointestinal system (the stomach and intestines) in humans. In more severe cases, Salmonella can spread to the blood, the bones, or even to the fluid around the brain, but these types of infection are less common. An American scientist named Daniel E. Salmon is credited with the discovery of the Salmonella family of bacteria in the late 1800s. Though named for him, it turns out that Salmon was not the true discoverer of Salmonella - a researcher working under him named Theobald Smith actually deserves the credit. Since then, scientists have identified more than 2,400 types of

To view the erratum, please click here During 1996-1998, CDC received reports from approximately 16 state health departments of Salmonella infections in persons who had direct or indirect contact with reptiles (i.e., lizards, snakes, or turtles). Salmonella infection can result in invasive illness including sepsis and meningitis, particularly in infants. Despite educational efforts, some reptile owners remain unaware that reptiles place them and their children at risk for salmonellosis. This report summarizes clinical and epidemiologic information in four cases and provides information about state regulations to prevent transmission of Salmonella spp. from reptiles to humans. Case Reports Arizona. During October 1996, a 3-week-old boy was admitted to a hospital emergency department with fever (103.6 F [40 C]), vomiting, and bloody diarrhea of 15 days' duration. Stool and blood cultures yielded Salmonella serotype IV 44: , an extremely rare serotype. The infant was hospitalized for 10 days and treated with intravenous fluids and amoxicillin. To determine the cause of the infant's illness, a stool specimen was obtained from the family's pet iguana, which also yielded

Melissa Kaplan's Herp Care Collection Last updated March 5, 2003 Salmonella and Other Zoonoses: The Basics If you have an iguana, chances are someone you know has already grilled you or freaked you out because they think you are going to get sick or die because your iguana has Salmonella . There is indeed a risk of contracting or causing others to contract a Salmonella infection from your iguana if you are not aware of the potential for infection and fail to take adequate means to avoid infection and transmission. What the person who informed you about iguana salmonellosis probably doesn't know is that he or she is just as likely to get sick from other reptiles, other pets, and foodborne organisms and chemicals. Potentially harmful organisms and chemicals are all around us - and in us. Iguanas have been making headlines in the past decade because they were the top-selling reptile in the US (and increasingly in other countries) and were sold by people who were clueless about zoonoses to people who were equally clueless. When the Pet Industry Joint Advisory Council (PIJAC) was recommending iguanas as great holiday gifts because they are so easy to care for, with no mention of any health concerns, well, it was only a matter of time before iguana-associated salmonellosis became a well publicized public health issue. Back in the 1960s through the early 1970s, headlines and health concerns were centered around the equally cheap, widely soldand wildly ill-treatedaquatic turtles who were riddled with

20. Foodborne Diseases Fact Sheet on foodborne diseases Escherichia coli (E. coli), salmonellosis, Campylobacter, and Shigella infections. http://www3.bc.sympatico.ca/me/patientsguide/foodbrn.htm

Foodborne illness is a common, distressing, and sometimes life-threatening problem for millions of people in the United States and around the world. Persons infected with foodborne organisms can remain symptom-free or can develop symptoms ranging from mild intestinal discomfort to severe dehydrating or bloody diarrhea and death. Foodborne illness is also extremely costly; the estimated yearly cost of all foodborne diseases in this country is $5 to $6 billion in direct medical expenditures and lost productivity. Salmonella and Campylobacter infections alone account for $1 billion in direct and indirect medical costs. The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), a component of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), collaborates with other research institutions to conduct and support basic, clinical, and applied research aimed at understanding, detecting, treating, and preventing foodborne diseases. Those described below are among the more common and serious. Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli Infection Escherichia coli , commonly called E. coli
