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 is enteric fever?
It is a form of diarrhoea that is of protracted duration and is associated with sign of systemic disease such as high fever, rash and respiratory or neurologic symptoms. Salmonella typhimurium and Salmonella paratyphe are the most common cause.
What is the threat level of salmonella typhimurium?
Salmonella Typhimurium is considered a significant public health threat due to its ability to cause foodborne illness in humans. It is commonly associated with contaminated food products, particularly undercooked meat, eggs, and dairy. Outbreaks can lead to gastroenteritis, characterized by symptoms such as diarrhea, fever, and abdominal cramps. While most healthy individuals recover without treatment, severe cases can lead to complications and hospitalization, making it a notable concern for food safety.
How many people were effected by Salmonella typhimurium this year?
1.4 million annually in the United States. Sited from: Wright JG, Tengelsen LA, Smith KE, Bender JB, Frank RK, Grendon JH, et al. Multidrug-resistant Salmonella Typhimurium outbreak. Emerg Infect Dis [serial on the Internet]. 2005 Aug [date cited]. Available from http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/EID/vol11no08/05-0111.htm Glad I could answer the question!
What is the degree of damage caused by salmonella typhimurium?
Salmonella Typhimurium can cause gastrointestinal illness, leading to symptoms such as diarrhea, fever, abdominal cramps, and vomiting. While most healthy individuals recover without treatment, severe cases can lead to complications, including dehydration and, in vulnerable populations, potentially life-threatening conditions. In some instances, the bacteria can enter the bloodstream, causing more serious systemic infections. Overall, the degree of damage varies based on individual health, age, and the presence of underlying conditions.
What is seminala poisoning?
The closest match for seminala poisoning is salmonella poisoning. Salmonella poisoning is caused by eating food contaminated with the salmonella bacterium. The foods most often contaminated with this bacterium are milk, eggs, beef, and poultry.
Does salmonella ferment lactose?
No, Salmonella does not ferment lactose. Most Salmonella species are lactose non-fermenters, which means they do not produce acid from lactose, making them distinguishable on certain culture media that contain lactose. Instead, they typically ferment other sugars, such as glucose. This characteristic is often used in laboratory diagnostics to identify Salmonella infections.
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.
