Salmonella is a genus of rod-shaped, gram-negative bacteria that can cause food poisoning. It can be found in both fresh and salt water. The bacteria can cause abdominal cramps, diarrhea, and fever. The bacteria can also cause meningitis, sepsis, and even death. Salmonella is not just a foodborne illness- it can be transmitted through contact with contaminated surfaces, such as contaminated food, water, or soil. Although the bacteria can be found in a variety of animal and human foods, the most common source of the bacteria is poultry.
