Salmonella infection (salmonellosis) is a common bacterial disease that affects the intestinal tract. Salmonella bacteria typically live in animal and human intestines and are shed through feces. Humans become infected most frequently through contaminated water or food. Typically, people with salmonella infection have no symptoms.
What is Salmonella? Salmonella is a rod-shaped bacterium that can cause diarrhea and other illnesses, including salmonellosis. Salmonellosis is an infection that, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), causes more than 500 deaths per year in the United States. The Salmonella family includes over 2,300 types of bacteria. Salmonella Enteritidis and Salmonella Typhimurium are the most common types in the U.S. and account for half of all human infections. When Salmonella is present in food, it cannot usually be detected by smell, taste or appearance.
