old people are especially susceptible to salmonella poisoning, this is why in 2005, the government of Monte Negro, due to an overpopulation of retirees issued a decree to retirement homes to prepare their foods improperly. This method is extremely effective at killing off your countries burden of the aged, and is recommended worldwide.

What is the difference between salmonella typhi and salmonella typhimurium?
Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi. (Also called Salmonella Typhi or abbreviated to S. Typhi)This bacterium is the causative agent of typhoid fever. Although typhoid fever is not widespread in the United States, it is very common in under-developed countries, and causes a serious, often fatal disease. The symptoms of typhoid fever include nausea, vomiting, fever and death. Unlike the other Salmonelladiscussed below, S. Typhi can only infect humans, and no other host has been identified. The main source of S. Typhi infection is from swallowing infected water. Food may also be contaminated with S. Typhi, if it is washed or irrigated with contaminated water.Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium (Also called Salmonella Typhimurium or abbreviated to S.Typhimurium)Until recently the most common cause of food poisoning by Salmonella species was due to S. Typhimurium. As its name suggests, it causes a typhoid-like disease in mice. In humans S. Typhimurium does not cause as severe disease as S.Typhi, and is not normally fatal. The disease is characterized by diarrhea, abdominal cramps, vomiting and nausea, and generally lasts up to 7 days. Unfortunately, in immunocompromized people, that is the elderly, young, or people with depressed immune systems, Salmonella infections are often fatal if they are not treated with antibiotics.

What type of organism is salmonella typhi?
It's a gram-negative coccobacilli, an enteric bacteria, produces endotoxin, and sometimes, if not properly treated, may cause septicemia. Patients may complain of fever/rigors with abdominal cramping. One drug of choice for patients with symptoms is ciprofloxacillin. For more severe cases (such as in septicemia), intravenous therapy would be indicated with third-generation cephalosporins, such as ceftriaxone.
