Video Summary

Salmonella is a rod-shaped, gram-negative bacteria of the Enterobacteriaceae family, which is known to cause salmonellosis infection. Non-typhoidal Salmonella (NTS) infections are the most common type of salmonellosis and are caused by several different strains of the bacteria like S. Enteritidis, and S. Newport. NTS infections are foodborne diseases and primarily spread through contaminated food and water. They cause symptoms of food poisoning like fever, diarrhea, abdominal cramps, vomiting, and headache. These symptoms can be severe and may lead to dehydration, sepsis, or even death.
