How do you prevent salmonella?

Asked by Wiki User

You can't really do it by yourself; salmonella does not have obvious indicators like taste, color or smell. You'd basically need to send it out to a lab to have them test it. Of course, the painful way to detect it is after ingesting: stomach pain, vomiting, diarrhea, nausea, fever and chills, all of which can be cured with antibiotics if caught in time. If not, you could die -- so get to a hospital if you think you've got it, and play it safe by throwing away or fully cooking risky foods, which kills it.

Where does salmonella reproduce?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Salmonella species are non-spore-forming, predominantly motile enterobacteria with cell diameters between about 0.7 and 1.5 µm, lengths from 2 to 5 µm, and peritrichous flagella (all around the cell body).[2]They are chemotrophs, obtaining their energy from oxidation and reduction reactions using organic sources. They are also facultative anaerobes, capable of generating ATP with oxygen ("aerobically") when it is available; or when oxygen is not available, using other electron acceptors or fermentation ("anaerobically").[2]S. enterica subspecies are found worldwide in all warm-bloodedanimals and in the environment. S. bongori is restricted to cold-blooded animals, particularly reptiles.[3]

Salmonella bacteria are is found in the intestines of animals, whose excreta may contaminate food or water. Infected poultry and eggs are the most frequent carriers. Proper preparation of these foods when thawing frozen products or cooking the flesh is important in order to prevent salmonella poisoning. Untreated salmonella poisoning can result in death.

What is the pathogen of salmonella?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Salmonella is a gram-negative bacteria pathogen; it is formed by a facultative anaerobic intracellular organism. These microorganisms form smooth rod-shape bacteria, approximately 0.5 micron x 2 microns, they attach together in pairs, chains, or by forming in spherical shaped colony. There are over 2,300 forms/types of Salmonella and NOT all are pathogenic. Salmonella bacteria can live out-side the body for weeks, with or without oxygen. Two common forms of this microorganism are Salmonella Typhimurium and Salmonella Enteritidis; these two varieties cause more than half of the salmonella infections each year.

As stated above, Salmonella is a pathogenic(infectious)microorganism that occurs naturally in many varieties of foods; it is more commonly found in foods that are raw or undercooked. The bacterium grows naturally in eggs and poultry. Additionally, salmonella bacteria can be found in fish, shellfish, other meats, raw milk and other milk products; it has also been found in fruit juices, honey, peanut butter, tomatoes, lettuce, sprouts, Serrano peppers, spinach, melons … (FYI: Salmonella has also shown up in dry pet foods.)

How can you get rid of salmonella from eggs?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Salmonella is a bacterial infection, and one of the causes of food poisoning. Salmonella is most often found in improperly processed foods, or on reptiles. To prevent salmonella only eat fully cooked eggs, chicken and turkey and avoid any that are past their expiration date. Be sure to wash hands thoroughly after handling reptiles to prevent infection from them.

Can you get Salmonellosis disease from eating raw eggs?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

well if it is raw it could carry the disease and its parent might have had it

Salmonella can infect the ovaries of healthy appearing hens and contaminate her eggs before the shells are formed. This is the most common cause since more stringent methods of cleaning and inspecting eggs were introduced in the early seventies, almost eliminating the risk of fecal contamination where the bacteria is most commonly found.

Hens infected with salmonella can lay several non-infected eggs to every infected one. As with all meats, poultry and milk, safe handling and proper cooking will drastically reduce the risk of being infected by the bacteria. Keeping eggs refrigerated will slow the growth of the bacteria, while thorough cooking will kill almost all of the rest.

Antibiotics can be used in some severe cases.

In routine cases of diarrhea you do not want to use antibiotics because it can make the person shed bacteria chronically. In these cases it should just be left to run its course.

Yes. Whole eggs can carry salmonella, either in or on the egg. Shell eggs are normally cleaned and sanitized to reduce the contamination on the shell. The incidence of bacteria inside the eggs can be reduced by maintaining healthy flocks.

How does salmonella effect your mental health?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Salmonella poisoning is an extremely serious illness that affects the whole body in a variety of ways. It means, among other things, that proper nutrition and absorption of medications will be impossible for the duration of the acute stage, and it can affect the body's internal chemistry by interfering with organ function.

Especially in the case of chronic metabolic diseases like diabetes, it can cause an alteration of the ways that glucose is metabolized, and that alone can cause psychological changes. A drinker or drug user who has lost access to the drugs may suffer withdrawal and severe emotional and physical problems along with it.

The good news: it shouldn't be permanent. If it seems to be, it is time to get with a doctor for a good physical and psychosocial workup. It is quite possible that a condition that was formerly masked has been revealed by the illness.
