its very natural and healthy for a turtle to have salmonella and you cant get rid of it but you can get it but just make sure that you wash your hands after holding them
Can salmonella contaminate your garbage disposal by putting peanut butter in it?
Your garbage disposal is already a breeding ground for microbes, so I would not worry about adding bacteria to it. But, I would be concerned about clogging the drain pipes with the peanut butter. Don't use the disposal. Just throw it in the trash.
What are some bad things of Salmonella the bacteria?
salmonella are anaerobic bacteria so that they can live in tinned food and all for many days even though oxygen is not available.they produce a poiso which is responsible for food poisoning.also salmonella typha is the typhoid causing bacteria
Is salmonella typhimurium armed and dangerous?
yes because it is fatal to the elderly nd young children
What is the difference between salmonella typhi and salmonella typhimurium?
- Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi. (Also called Salmonella Typhi or abbreviated to S. Typhi)
This bacterium is the causative agent of typhoid fever. Although typhoid fever is not widespread in the United States, it is very common in under-developed countries, and causes a serious, often fatal disease. The symptoms of typhoid fever include nausea, vomiting, fever and death. Unlike the other Salmonelladiscussed below, S. Typhi can only infect humans, and no other host has been identified. The main source of S. Typhi infection is from swallowing infected water. Food may also be contaminated with S. Typhi, if it is washed or irrigated with contaminated water.
- Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium (Also called Salmonella Typhimurium or abbreviated to S.Typhimurium)
Until recently the most common cause of food poisoning by Salmonella species was due to S. Typhimurium. As its name suggests, it causes a typhoid-like disease in mice. In humans S. Typhimurium does not cause as severe disease as S.Typhi, and is not normally fatal. The disease is characterized by diarrhea, abdominal cramps, vomiting and nausea, and generally lasts up to 7 days. Unfortunately, in immunocompromized people, that is the elderly, young, or people with depressed immune systems, Salmonella infections are often fatal if they are not treated with antibiotics.
salmonella is a type of food poisoning, which can be caught by eating raw chicken. Unless you find that good i'd say it was a bad thing ;)
well if she had a certain kind of peanut butter then she may have salmonella. im not sure of the name but the recalled it because of a salmonella outbreak. go to the doctor's.
The alias of salmonella enteriditis?
The Salmonella enteriditis causes food poisoning and gastroenteritis. I will do some looking to see about alternate names. --> The only alternate name I can find is just plain Salmonella (without the species name).
How long does it take to develop symptoms for salmonella food poisoning?
Symptoms of salmonella food poisoning typically develop within 6 hours to 6 days after consuming contaminated food or water. The onset time can vary depending on the amount of bacteria ingested and the individual's immune response. Common symptoms include diarrhea, fever, and abdominal cramps. Most people recover without treatment within a week, though some cases can be more severe.
Is there salmonella in every frozen food?
No, salmonella is not present in every frozen food. While frozen foods can potentially carry salmonella if they are contaminated before freezing, proper cooking and handling can eliminate the bacteria. It's important to follow safe food practices, including cooking foods to the appropriate temperature, to reduce the risk of foodborne illness. Always check for any recalls or safety alerts related to specific frozen products.
Why Salmonella bacteria are described as pathogens?
Salmonella bacteria are described as pathogens because they can cause disease in humans and animals. When ingested, they can lead to gastrointestinal infections, characterized by symptoms such as diarrhea, fever, and abdominal cramps. Certain strains of Salmonella can also cause more severe illness and complications, particularly in vulnerable populations. Their ability to survive in various environments and contaminate food and water sources further enhances their status as significant public health threats.
How does salmonella bacteria get past first line of defense?
Salmonella bacteria can bypass the body's first line of defense, which includes physical barriers like skin and mucous membranes, by entering the body through contaminated food or water. Once ingested, they can survive the acidic environment of the stomach and adhere to the intestinal lining, allowing them to invade epithelial cells. By exploiting host cell mechanisms, Salmonella can also evade the immune response, facilitating their survival and proliferation within the host.
What can we do to prevent contracting Salmonella typhimurium?
People can protect themselves from salmonella typhi by having the government check all foods that might carry bits of the salmonella bacteria. Also, you can keep yourself safe by checking the foods that you eat. Washing your hands thoroughly might help. Cooking well meats will keep you safe. Don't forget to always follow these guidelines to keep you and your family safe from these germs.
What type of fecal testing is used to detect Salmonella?
Fecal testing for Salmonella typically involves culture methods, where a stool sample is incubated on selective media to promote the growth of Salmonella while inhibiting other bacteria. Additionally, molecular methods such as polymerase chain reaction (PCR) can be employed for rapid detection by identifying Salmonella-specific DNA sequences. These methods are crucial for diagnosing infections and monitoring outbreaks.

Salmonella really isn't common. It is easy to catch from raw foods or misprepared foods.
How does salmonella cause diarrhea?
The salmonella doesnt cause diarrea, its what the body does to get rid of the bacteria. But its still a symptom.
Some strains should be available through laboratory supply houses.
