Salmonella is a bacterium that causes a diarrheal disease known as gastroenteritis. It is a food-borne disease spread through consumption of contaminated foods, especially eggs and poultry and is caused by rapid bacterial growth in these foods. It is one of the most common food poisonings, and is usually not terribly serious - it runs it's course in 24-48 hours, but it is very unpleasant while you have it.
