Another possibility is that the farmer transmitted the infection to the boy as a result of inadequate handwashing, wearing inadequately disinfected footwear, or wearing working clothes indoors. We advise those who are at high risk for Salmonella infection, e.
The amount of bacteria shed by hosts is probably much larger in clinical salmonellosis than in the carrier state, and great care must be taken to clean and disinfect hands and tools to prevent spread of the bacteria after contact with clinically ill animals.
Veterinarians must inform animal caretakers about the zoonotic aspects of disease when they diagnose a Salmonella infection. We thank M.

There are two generally accepted species of the bacterium Salmonella: Salmonella enterica and Salmonella bongori. The species we hear most about is Salmonella enterica , which is estimated by the World Health Organization WHO to affect over 17 million people worldwide each year.
Salmonella Typhimurium and Salmonella Typhi are two of over 2, types of Salmonella enterica. Salmonella Typhimurium and Salmonella Typhi are closely related. However, there are distinct differences in the type and severity of infectious disease they both cause.
This difference in infections is the result of differences in their genetic makeup. Salmonella growing on XLD agar. Related Content:.
