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.)
What else can I help you with?
What is the pathogenesis of salmonella?
salmonella can cause typhoid fever and you can get it by eating raw food and other food stuff contaminated by it.
What pathogen cause typhus?
Typhoid fever, also known as enteric fever, is a potentially fatal multisystemic illness caused primarily by Salmonella enterica, subspecies enterica serovar typhiand, to a lesser extent, related serovars paratyphi A, B, and C.
How long does the bacteria Salmonella typhi survive in a dead animals?
Salmonella Typhi is strictly a human pathogen. There are no animal reservoirs. Salmonella Typhimurium, on the other hand, is ubiquitous. I'd guess a few weeks, depending on conditions?
A type of illness caused by a pathogen in food?
The most common illness caused by a food-borne pathogen would be diarrhea and intestinal cramps, such as what is caused by ingestion of pathogenic Salmonella.
Can Salmonella be beneficial at any time?
Salmonella is primarily known as a harmful pathogen that causes foodborne illness in humans. However, some research suggests that certain strains of Salmonella may have potential therapeutic applications, such as in cancer treatment, where they can be engineered to target and kill cancer cells. Additionally, they can be used in vaccine development to stimulate immune responses. Despite these potential benefits, the risks associated with Salmonella infections generally outweigh its positive uses.
Which one of the following food contamination is usually associated with undercooked chicken?
Undercooked chicken is typically associated with contamination from Salmonella bacteria. This pathogen can cause foodborne illness, leading to symptoms such as diarrhea, fever, and abdominal cramps. Proper cooking and handling of chicken are essential to prevent Salmonella infection.
What temperature do you cook chicken at to kill salmonella?
Salmonella is a pathogen, which perishes after being heated to 55 celsius for 1 hour or 60 degrees celsius for 30 minutes. Food should be heated for 10 minutes at 75 degrees celsius so that the centre of the food reaches that temprature. Salmonella is not destroyed by frreezing, and prospers at normal body tempratures.
What is the date when the pathogen that causes typhoid fever first discovered?
In 1880 Karl Joseph Eberth described a bacillus that he suspected was the cause of typhoid. The bacillus that causes typhoid fever goes by the scientific name of Salmonella enterica enterica, serovar Typhi.Many men died in the US Civil War due to typhoid fever. See the link below for what this disease can cause:
What is the latin name for salmonella?
The Latin name for Salmonella is Salmonella enterica.
Is salmonella enterica and salmonella bongori species of salmonella?
Yes.
Does fish and chips have salmonella in it?
No they do not have salmonella in it only if they get contaminated then it is possible for some to have salmonella?
What is an infectious dose with example?
It is the amount of a pathogen you would have to ingest to become infected. For instance you need to ingest about a million salmonella bacteria to become infected, whereas gastroenteritis caused by Shigella needs only a couple of hundred organisms.
