Extractions: Back to top Consumers expect meat and poultry that is as free as possible from bacteria. More than twenty years of research shows that it is just not economically feasible to produce bacteria-free raw meat and poultry. That's why good sanitation and careful food handling will always be necessary to prevent bacteria on raw meat products from causing illness. Salmonellosis is the most common foodborne illness, but it is usually preventable. Foods like eggs, raw milk, and all raw foods of animal origin may carry salmonella and other bacteria. Bacteria don't have to cause illness, though. Routine food safety practices can destroy salmonella and other bacteria. A Salmonella bacterium is a one-celled organism that can't be seen, touched or tasted. The bacteria are common in the intestinal tracts and waste of livestock, poultry, dogs, cats, rats, and other warm-blooded animals. There will always be some risk of bacterial contamination from foods of animal origin. Food safety is necessary to prevent bacteria on raw foods from causing illness.

Extractions: POINT OF CONTACT FOR THIS DOCUMENT: During 1994-1995, health departments in 13 states reported to CDC persons infected with unusual Salmonella serotypes in which the patients had direct or indirect contact with reptiles (i.e., lizards, snakes, or turtles). In many of those cases, the same serotype of Salmonella was isolated from patients and from reptiles with which they had had contact or a common contact. For some cases, infection resulted in invasive illness, such as sepsis and meningitis. This report summarizes clinical and epidemiologic information for six of these cases. Connecticut. During January 1995, a 40-year-old man was hospitalized because of an acute illness characterized by constipation, lower back pain, chills, and fever. He reported having taken ranitidine and an antacid for symptoms of heartburn before onset of mild diarrhea 3 days before hospitalization. A blood culture yielded Salmonella serotype Wassenaar. A magnetic resonance image scan of the right sacrum suggested osteomyelitis. Ciprofloxacin therapy was initiated for presumed Salmonella osteomyelitis, and he was discharged after 14 days. All household contacts were asymptomatic. The family had purchased two iguanas (Iguana iguana) in October 1994; although the patient denied directly handling the iguanas, he reported having recently cleaned their aquarium. Stool samples obtained from both iguanas yielded Salmonella Wassenaar.

http://maxshouse.com/salmonellosis.htm

Extractions: The salmonellae comprise nearly two thousand different serotypes of the genus Salmonella, bacteria found throughout the environment, in wild and domestic animals. Salmonella bacteria are responsible for a spectrum of maladies ranging from uncomplicated intestinal disease and diarrhea, to life-threatening systemic illness. Clinical salmonellosis in cats is relatively uncommon and few references to it exist in the scientific literature. Surveys conducted by sampling feces or rectal swabs of "normal," nondiarrheic cats have revealed a salmonella carrier rate ranging from zero up to 14 percent (it is likely that these surveys underestimate the true numbers of infected carrier cats because not all cats carrying the organism shed it at the time they are tested). Stray cats, shelter cats, and hunter cats are more likely to be carriers and to be excreting salmonellae in feces than are housebound pet cats. Cats appear to be highly resistant to salmonella infection unless they are stressed by overcrowding, dietary changes, transport, hospitalization, antimicrobial therapy, or concurrent illness at the time of salmonella exposure. The source of the salmonellae is most likely to be either contaminated feed, water, or carrier animals (whether clinically ill or healthy). Contamination can arise from rodent or bird feces, raw or undercooked or contaminated meat and table scraps, or commercially prepared foods that are contaminated during processing.

http://www.healthplanning.gov.bc.ca/hlthfile/hfile17.html

Extractions: Health File # 17, July 2001 Salmonellosis is a foodborne infection caused by Salmonella bacteria. These bacteria multiply in the small intestine and invade the gut lining. Symptoms such as sudden stomach pain, diarrhea, nausea, fever, and throwing up are common. Dehydration, especially among infants, may be severe. Salmonella may be found in humans and animals (wild and domestic). Both humans and animals may have the bacteria and still appear healthy. Salmonella is commonly found in food such as raw eggs and egg products, meat and meat products, and poultry. Illness may occur after a person eats food or drinks water contaminated with Salmonella Salmonella infections are usually traced to poultry (chicken, turkey, etc) that has not been cooked enough, raw sausages, lightly cooked foods containing eggs or egg products, or to unpasteurized dairy products. Ready-to-eat or cooked food can also be contaminated by being touched by dirty hands, or by coming into contact with cooking utensils or counters that were not cleaned after being previously used. Salmonella infections usually happen within 12 to 36 hours after eating contaminated food or water.

Extractions: You get salmonellosis by eating food or drinking water contaminated by feces containing salmonella bacteria. You can also get it if you put your hands to your mouth after touching salmonella-carrying animals (including pet turtles, chicks, dogs, cats and rodents). Foods that are frequently associated with salmonella food poisoning include eggs, poultry, beef, pork, and unpasteurized dairy products. Additionally, salmonellosis is spread from person-to-person by fecal-oral contact that can occur when taking care of someone with diarrhea caused by salmonella. Some people, may be chronically infected with salmonella and can spread it to others without showing any symptoms of illness. What are the symptoms of salmonellosis?

Extractions: Salmonellosis Outbreak An outbreak of salmonellosis was reported in songbirds in the Northeast in January, 1998. It has since afflicted birds in the Midwest as well. As of the end of March, confirmed cases had been reported in Arkansas, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Missouri, New Hampshire, New York, Pennsylvania, Vermont, and Wisconsin. Similar but unconfirmed cases have been reported in Connecticut, Ohio, Maine and Massachusetts. Salmonellosis, caused by the salmonella bacteria, is often fatal to the birds. It is spread through feces which can contaminate feeders, the ground under the feeders, and sources of water. While it has not been reported in our area, the best defense is to keep bird feeding areas clean Project Feederwatch has a guide to diseases seen in birds at feeeders. Bird News

Extractions: What is Salmonellosis? Salmonellosis is a bacterial infection that generally affects the intestinal tract, and occasionally the bloodstream and other organs. It is one of the more common causes of gastroenteritis with approximately 2,000 cases reported each year in Pennsylvania. Most cases occur in the summer months, and are seen as single cases, clusters or outbreaks. Who gets Salmonellosis? Any person can get Salmonellosis, but it is clinically recognized more often in infants and children. How are Salmonella bacteria spread? Salmonella bacteria are spread by either eating or drinking contaminated food or water, or by contact with infected people or animals and subsequent poor personal hygiene. What are the symptoms of Salmonellosis? People with Salmonellosis may experience mild or severe diarrhea, fever and occasionally vomiting. They may be infected, but without symptoms. Bloodstream infections can be quite serious, particularly in the very young or elderly.

Extractions: Salmonella food poisoning is a bacterial food poisoning caused by the Salmonella bacterium. It results in the swelling of the lining of the stomach and intestines (gastroenteritis). While domestic and wild animals, including poultry, pigs, cattle, and pets such as turtles, iguanas, chicks, dogs, and cats can transmit this illness, most people become infected by ingesting foods contaminated with significant amounts of Salmonella Description Salmonella food poisoning occurs worldwide, however it is most frequently reported in North America and Europe. Only a small proportion of infected people are tested and diagnosed, and as few as 1% of cases are actually reported. While the infection rate may seem relatively low, even an attack rate of less than 0.5% in such a large number of exposures results in many infected individuals. The poisoning typically occurs in small, localized outbreaks in the general population or in large outbreaks in hospitals, restaurants, or institutions for children or the elderly. In the United States, Salmonella is responsible for about 15% of all cases of food poisoning.

Extractions: 502-564-3418 or 3261 Salmonellosis Salmonellosis Salmonellosis is an acute intestinal disease caused by the bacterium Salmonella that is present in the feces of a wide variety of animals and some people. There are 2000 known serotypes of Salmonella. How Salmonellosis Is Spread The most common route of infection is through ingestion of food from an infected animal or food contaminated by feces of an infected animal or person. High risk foods include raw and undercooked eggs, meat and meat products, poultry, raw milk, and raw milk products. Raw fruits and vegetables that may be contaminated during slicing are also included. Infection can occur through an open cut, sore or wound into the bloodstream. Pet turtles, iguanas, other reptiles and baby chicks are sources of infection especially for children. Symptoms of Salmonellosis Most people infected with Salmonella develop diarrhea, fever, and abdominal cramps within 06-72 hours, the infection usually resolves in 5-7 days. The severity of the infection varies from mild to severe and may require hospitalization to control the infection, or for rehydration with intravenous fluids. The

Extractions: Foodborne Diseases Salmonellosis Salmonellosis is caused by Salmonella bacteria. The disease causes acute intestinal distress with sudden onset of headache, fever, abdominal pain, diarrhea, nausea, and sometimes vomiting. These symptoms, along with loss of appetite, can persist for several days. Dehydration, especially among infants, can be severe. Salmonella is an invasive organism that can escape the confines of the intestine and become disseminated by the blood to other organs. It can become a chronic infection in some people, who can be symptom-free yet capable of spreading the disease to others. Ordinarily, deaths are uncommon except in those who are very young, elderly, or have weakened immune systems. Salmonella infections are increasing in the United States. In fact, recurrent opportunistic Salmonella bacteremia is considered an AIDS-defining illness. Numerous types of Salmonella cause disease in both animals and people. While there is much variation in the relative prevalence of different types of Salmonella species from country to country, in the United States Salmonella typhimurium and Salmonella enteritidis are the two most commonly reported. A multidrug-resistant strain of Salmonella typhimurium, called Definitive Type 104 (DT104), first emerged in the United Kingdom in 1984 and was recently detected in the United States. Now it is the second most prevalent strain (after serotype enteritidis) of Salmonella isolated from humans. These DT104 isolates pose a significant new threat because they are resistant to several antibiotics normally used to treat people with salmonella infections including ampicillin, chloramphenicol, streptomycin, sulfonamides, and tetracycline.

http://www.tdh.state.tx.us/epidemiology/99annual/reports/salmonella.htm

Extractions: According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), salmonellosis is very underreported even though some 40,000 cases are reported yearly in the US. The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) estimates that the actual number of Americans made ill by salmonellosis each year is roughly 3.8 million with consequent lost wages and medical costs in the billions of dollars. Salmonellosis is caused by Salmonella bacteria which contaminate foods of animal origin. Improperly cooked poultry, eggs, and other poultry products are responsible for about 50% of common vehicle epidemics. Other associated foods include improperly cooked meats, particularly beef and pork (13%), and unpasteurized dairy products (4%). Cross-contamination can occur when the same utensils that are used for handling uncooked meat or poultry are later used for foods (such as vegetables) that will not be cooked. Salmonellosis may also be transmitted through improper handling of pets, particularly reptiles, and improper cleaning of pet living areas. Secondary cases of salmonellosis are often transmitted person-to-person by the fecal-oral route (eg, by infected food handlers). Salmonella infection occurs 6 to 72 hours post-ingestion, and symptoms include diarrhea, abdominal cramping, fever, nausea, vomiting, and headache. Severe infection, which most likely occurs among the very young and the very old, may lead to serious dehydration and, occasionally, death. Less than 1% of case-patients may become chronic carriers and continue to excrete

Typhoid fever, caused by Salmonella typhi, is spread by fecal contamination of water or milk or by food handlers who are carriers. It is characterized by a high fever and a rash on the chest and abdomen and can be fatal. Paratyphoid fever, caused by Salmonella paratyphi, is also spread in the feces of victims or carriers. Outbreaks often occur where adequate hygiene, especially in food preparers, is not practiced. Paratyphoid is characterized by mild fever and a rash on the chest. Bacteremia is characterized by the presence of Salmonella choleraesuis

Extractions: [(Salmonella food poisoning, enteric paratyphosis) A common bacterial cause of food-poisoning worldwide. Over 1800 food-poisoning serotypes of salmonella (bacterium) exist. The prevalence of individual serotypes constantly changes. In the U.S., 5 million cases are diagnosed annually. S. typhi, the cause of Typhoid Fever, rarely occurs in the U.S.] SPECIES: RESERVOIR AND MODE OF TRANSMISSION: Salmonellas are common commensals of all animals and birds and are excreted in feces. Host-adapted strains may cause serious illness (e.g., S. dublin in cattle, S. pullorum in chickens), but most human food-poisoning salmonellas do not cause clinical signs in animals. The main reservoirs for human infection are poultry, cattle, sheep and pigs. *In the laboratory and teaching laboratory, birds, reptiles, and turtles are especially dangerous sources of Salmonellosis. 94% of all reptiles harbor Salmonella. Turtles alone in 1970 may have caused 280,000 human cases of Salmonellosis. *In 1975 the FDA ruled it illegal to sell a. Viable Turtle eggs b. Live turtles with a carapace length TRANSMISSION: Indirect transmission via contaminated food and water are the most common sources but transmission may also be by direct contact.
