Salmonellosis

Salmonella bacteria are transmitted through contaminated food. The resulting disease – salmonellosis – often first presents in the form of sudden diarrhoea, and is generally mild. In prevention terms, good kitchen hygiene is important, especially when working with meat products or raw eggs.
