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.
