  1. Salmonellosis

    Salmonellosis is an infection with Salmonella bacteria. Most people infected with Salmonella develop diarrhea, fever, vomiting, and abdominal cramps 12 to 72 hours after infection. In most cases, the illness lasts four to seven days, and most people recover without treatment. In some cases, though, the diarrhea may be so severe, the patient becomes dangerously dehydrated and must be hospitalized.

The type of Salmonella usually associated with infections in humans, nontyphoidal Salmonella, is usually contracted from sources such as:
