Salmonellosis: A Review

Sujata S. Bhave

Abstract :

Salmonella is 1 of the 4 importantworldwide causes of diarrhoeal diseases. Mostly Salmonellacauses mild cases; however,sometimes it results in life–threatening illness. Host factors and serotype of Salmonella decide the severity of disease. Till now, almost more than 2500 Salmonella serotypes have been known and more than half of them belong to Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica, which accounts for the majority of Salmonella infections in humans. Prophylactic measures have been suggested to reduce the incidence and eliminate the spread of salmonellosis. While basic food hygiene practices, such as "cook thoroughly" and water sanitation are the foremost preventive measures, immunization is also effective against the illness. This review gives an overview of Salmonella infection, pathogenesis, clinical manifestations and prevention of Salmonella.
