They can treat salmonella, but you generally don't take any for food poisoning, as it doesn't help clinically, and can even make it last longer, as you take longer to excrete the bug.

The zones on inhibition for two antibiotic a and b on a sarcina lutea dish measure 17 and 18mm respectively which antibiotic is more effective against sarcina lutea Why?
Antibiotic B is more effective against Sarcina lutea, as it produced a larger zone of inhibition (18mm) compared to antibiotic A (17mm). A larger zone of inhibition indicates that antibiotic B has better inhibitory activity against the bacteria, resulting in better efficacy at controlling bacterial growth.
What happens if you give a dog expired amoxicillin?
Hopefully, nothing. Unfortunately, after the drug is expired, the antibiotic and the inert carrier chemicals it is mixed into start to degrade. This degradation is unpredictable in the field and could do anything from rendering the antibiotic inert (ie, no longer an effective drug) to turning the antibiotic or one or more of the other chemicals into a potent toxin that could severely injure or kill the dog.
