Salmonella is actually a group of bacteria that can cause diarrheal illness in humans. They are microscopic living creatures that pass from the feces of people or animals to other people or other animals. There are many different kinds of Salmonella bacteria. Salmonella serotype Typhimurium and Salmonella serotype Enteritidis are the most common in the United States. Salmonella germs have been known to cause illness for over 100 years. They were discovered by an American scientist named Salmon, for whom they are named.
Scientists from the Vaccine and Infectious Disease Organization-International Vaccine Centre at the University of Saskatchewan and Temple University have demonstrated that a Salmonella biofilm protein can cause autoimmune responses and arthritis in animals.
As the world wrestles with the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, which arose after the virus jumped from an animal species to the human species, University of Delaware researchers are learning about new ways other pathogens are jumping from plants to people.
When pathogenic bacteria infect, the body’s immune system attempts to remove these invaders. One method to do this is to trigger an inflammatory response.

Professor Ruiting Lan speaks to AZoLifeSciences about his research into tracking salmonella poisoning and outbreaks.
AZoLifeSciences speaks to Dr. Silin Tang about her research into the importance of identifying salmonella in food.
Ancient DNA has suggested that farming gave the human population salmonella. This article investigates.
The potential to proliferate under acidic conditions is crucial for bacteria. Escherichia coli, Salmonella, and other such enteric bacteria have the ability to colonize and cause disease in the intestinal tract of the host. Yet, they must fight against acidic environments in the entire process of host invasion.
