The causative agent of salmonellosis is the Salmonella bacteria, which are a group of rod-shaped, gram-negative bacteria. The two most common species responsible for human infections are Salmonella enterica and Salmonella bongori. Infection typically occurs through the consumption of contaminated food or water, particularly undercooked meats, eggs, and unpasteurized dairy products. Salmonellosis can lead to gastrointestinal symptoms such as diarrhea, fever, and abdominal cramps.
