FAST FACTS
➤ An American scientist named Daniel E. Salmon is credited
with the discovery of the Salmonella family of bacteria in the
late 1800s. Since then, scientists have identified more than
2,500 types of Salmonella bacteria
➤ About 50,000 cases of salmonellosis are reported in the
United States each year and about a third of those are in kids
4 years old or younger.
WHAT IS
SALMON
ELLA?
SALMONELLA (SALMONELLOSIS)
A gram negative, rod-shaped bacilli that can affect the
gastrointestinal system
In severe cases salmonella can spread to the blood, the bones,
or even to the fluid around the brain
Salmonella can be found in the intestines of humans and animals
and are excreted in feces.
This difference
➤ Salmonella Bongori in infections is
the result of
➤ Salmonella Typhimurium differences in
their genetic
➤ Salmonella Typhi makeup.
WHO?
People of all age groups are susceptible to salmonella.
➤ Elderly
➤ Young children and babies
➤ Immune system problems
➤ Pregnant Women
In these higher risk groups, Salmonella is more likely to invade beyond the
gastrointestinal tract and cause bacteremia (bacteria in the bloodstream). From
there, the bacteria can spread deeper into the body and cause more serious
diseases, like meningitis.
HOW?
Directly
Contact with infected animals or their environments

Cooking:
➤ Cook foods thoroughly
➤ Raw meats, poultry, fish can cause illness
➤ Color not reliable indicator (Meat may look brown but be undercooked)(Cooked chicken
may still look pink)
➤ Measure internal temperature
Chilling:
➤ Chill foods at a low enough temperature -Bacteria multiply rapidly between 40°F and
140°F
➤ Keep hot foods hot: above 140°F
➤ Keep cold foods below 40°F: food shouldn't be left out more than two hours
➤ Keep leftovers no more than four days in refrigerator, raw meats two days
