What is salmonella

According to the Ministry of Health website, Salmonella is a bacterium from the Enterobacteriaceae family that causes food poisoning. The most common symptoms are vomiting, abdominal pain, fever and diarrhea.

Rare cases can lead to death. The main transmission channel is through the ingestion of food contaminated with animal feces. The bacteria is normally found in animals such as chickens, pigs, reptiles, amphibians, cows and even domestic animals such as dogs and cats.
