About Salmonella
Salmonella is a bacterium that can cause serious and potentially fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and the immunocompromised. Healthy persons infected with Salmonella often experience fever, diarrhea (which may be bloody), nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain. In rare circumstances, infection with Salmonella can result in the organism getting into the bloodstream and producing more severe illnesses such as arterial infections (i.e., infected aneurysms), endocarditis and arthritis.
