Salmonella Enterica Infection Symptoms and Prevention
Salmonella enterica is a rod-shaped, flagellated, Gram-negative bacterium that causes salmonellosis, a potentially serious foodborne illness. Commonly found in raw eggs and undercooked poultry, it can survive in dry environments and resist freezing. It thrives without oxygen and dies only at high temperatures. Infection causes stomach pain, vomiting, and diarrhea, and may lead to severe health issues if untreated. Preventive measures include proper food handling, cooking, hygiene, and monitoring of water and animal product sources to limit contamination.
