Term
Salmonella species
Signs/ symptoms:
Diagnosis: |
|
Definition

Salmonella species
Treatment:
Immunity:
Prophylaxis: |
|
Definition
- treatment: Self limiting, get more fluidsa and elctrolytes
- for bad infections- ampicillin or amoxicillin
- if PCN sensitive or resistant- chloramphenicol
- Immunity: none because 2000 different serotypes
- Prophy: cook chicken well and do not recontaminate cooked chicken with juices
- ppl get sick from eating leftovers
- avoid food with raw eggs- escpecially if cracked...because salmonella is in chicken's where eggs come out
- homemade mayo, egg nog, homemade ice cream never used cracked eggs.
- boil egg 7 min; poach egg 5 min; fried egg 3 min on each side- to kill salmonella

Signs symptoms:
Diagnosis: |
