Salmonella is the food contamination usually associated with undercooked chicken
In cooking,they can result in e coli or salmonella contamination.
Cooking to safe temperatures will inactivate any bacterial contamination that was present.

The highest risk for contamination of an egg is Salmonella. The shell does protect against these organisms entering, but if it is cracked or highly contaminated it will not stop contamination. Washing the egg too much could also compromise the barrier causing contamination. If the egg is cooked properly, Salmonella contamination should not be a problem as the bacteria will be killed with sufficient heat.
Salmonella has been found in a small sample of a shipment of about 1 million pounds of nuts that went to more than a dozen distributors. The FDA suggests not eating any pistachios you have on hand, until it is determined if they are part of any potential recall. The cause of the contamination is unknown at present, but the most common cause of salmonella contamination is washing produce with contaminated water. Salmonella is endemic in much California surface water, and many pistachios come from California.
Bearded dragons, like the majority of reptiles, carry salmonella. Make sure you wash your hands before and after handling to help prevent contamination.
Microbial contamination is the introduction and growth of harmful microorganisms in foods and water, causing food borne illness and even death. Some examples of microbial contamination include botulism, salmonella, and mold.
CAFO eggs (um, "grocery-store" eggs) are irradiated to reduce contamination, chiefly salmonella.
