Salmonella in humans
Salmonella bacteria cause food poisioning, typhoid fever and paratyphoid fever. More than 2500 different strains of salmonella have been identified. Anyone can get salmonella, but young children, the elderly and people whose immune systems are not working properly have a greater risk of becoming severely ill. Infection with Salmonella Newport causes a similar illness to other forms of Salmonella infection and symptoms include diarrhoea, vomiting, abdominal pain and fever.
Symptoms include watery diarrhoea, stomach cramps and sometimes vomiting and fever. These symptoms usually last for four to seven days and clear up without treatment, but if you become seriously ill you may need to be treated for dehydration (fluid loss) caused by the illness.
Transmission occurs by eating contaminated food, mainly of animal origin, or by faecal contamination from an infected person or animal.
Salmonella in livestock
Salmonella newport causes significant clinical disease in livestock, particularly cattle, in humans, and in other animal species. Multiple antimicrobial resistant strains of S. newport have been recorded in the U.S. and Canada. All of these strains are resistant to ampicillin, chloramphenicol, streptomycin, sulphonamides and tetracycline (ACSSuT). In addition, many of these strains show intermediate or full resistance to third-generation cephalosporins, kanamycin, potentiated sulphonamides and gentamicin.
Salmonella is a gram-negative, facultative intra-cellular bacterium which may penetrate ocular, nasal, oral or intestinal mucous membranes. Infection is most often transmitted by fecal-oral contamination from livestock or rodents or by feeding contaminated feed. Approximately 40% of animal by-products in the U.S., such as fish meal, meat meal, bone meal, or feather meal, are contaminated. Forages or plant proteins such as soybean or cottonseed have also been sources of an outbreak.

Medical and Biotech [MESH] Definitions
Factor For Inversion Stimulation Protein
A highly abundant DNA binding protein whose expression is strongly correlated with the growth phase of bacteria. The protein plays a role in regulating DNA topology and activation of RIBOSOMAL RNA transcription. It was originally identified as a factor required for inversion stimulation by the Hin recombinase of SALMONELLA and Gin site-specific recombinase of BACTERIOPHAGE MU.
Salmonella
A genus of gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, rod-shaped bacteria that utilizes citrate as a sole carbon source. It is pathogenic for humans, causing enteric fevers, gastroenteritis, and bacteremia. Food poisoning is the most common clinical manifestation. Organisms within this genus are separated on the basis of antigenic characteristics, sugar fermentation patterns, and bacteriophage susceptibility.
Salmonella Arizonae
Gram-negative rods widely distributed in LIZARDS and SNAKES, and implicated in enteric, bone (BONE DISEASES), and joint infections (JOINT DISEASES) in humans.
Salmonella Enteritidis
A serotype of Salmonella enterica which is an etiologic agent of gastroenteritis in man and other animals.
Salmonella Food Poisoning
Poisoning caused by ingestion of food harboring species of SALMONELLA. Conditions of raising, shipping, slaughtering, and marketing of domestic animals contribute to the spread of this bacterium in the food supply.
