Presentation
The protracted course and atypical presentation of osteomyelitis in diabetic adults can lead to major diagnostic delays. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
In addition, we investigated the ability of an invJ S. typhimurium mutant strain to present the SipB protein to the bacterial surface and demonstrated that, in contrast to Spa32, its putative Shigella homolog, InvJ is not involved in the surface presentation [iai.asm.org]

These problems are most likely to occur in children and in adults with weak immune systems. You can get E. coli infections by eating foods containing the bacteria. To help avoid food poisoning and prevent infection, handle food safely. [hhs.gov]
Children younger than 5, people with weak immune systems, and adults older than 65 should not handle or touch amphibians, reptiles or their environment. These groups have a higher chance of serious illness and hospitalization from Salmonella germs. [cdc.gov]
Be sure to pick up and thoroughly wash food dishes as soon as pets are done eating, and prevent children, the elderly, and any other people with weak immune systems from handling or being exposed to the food or pets that have eaten potentially contaminated [fda.gov]

A 57-year-old man presented with high fever and diarrhea. A blood culture revealed the presence of a Group C nontyphoidal Salmonella (NTS) isolate. On Salmonella serotyping, the isolate was identified as Salmonella enterica serovar Virchow. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
If your doctor is concerned that you may be at risk for severe dehydration, or if you have a high fever or severe abdominal pain, they may recommend you go to the hospital for treatment with intravenous fluids and monitoring. [everydayhealth.com]

Healthy people may experience short-term symptoms such as fever, headache, vomiting, nausea, abdominal cramps and diarrhea. Long-term complications may include severe arthritis. [vancouverisawesome.com]
- Food Poisoning
The main food sources of Salmonella are poultry and eggs, which cause hundreds of thousands of food poisoning cases each year in the U.S. [nutritionfacts.org]
Abstract Public health concern with food safety and food poisoning emerged in Britain in the 1880s following the first indication that acute gastric illness was caused by a specific organism. [doi.org]

“Salmonellosis symptoms include fever, headache, diarrhoea, abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting,” said Dr McAnulty. [health.nsw.gov.au]
- Confusion
This can lead to confusion and hazards since the specific epithet is also the name of a serovar (serovar Choleraesuis ). [doi.org]
The absence of mention of the subspecies cannot be a source of confusion because only the serovars of the subspecies Salmonella choleraesuis subsp. choleraesuis are named. [web.archive.org]
To avoid confusion due to the similarity between the specific epithet choleraesuis and the serovar name Choleraesuis, Yabuuchi and Ezaki recommend to change the latter to Hogcholera. [bacterio.net]
Salmonella uses a variety of unique virulence mechanisms to invade our intestinal cells and confuse our immune cells, leading to many of the key symptoms associated with food poisoning. [asm.org]
The name “choleraesuis,” however, refers to both a species and a serotype, which causes confusion. [jcm.asm.org]

[…] of antibiotic treatments should then be considered. [doi.org]
Prognosis
Patients with Salmonella aortitis are a challenging subgroup of patients with aggressive infection and very poor prognosis, because bacterial eradication is difficult and risk of recurrent infection is high. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The prognosis has been shown to be good for young patients who are without preceding factors [ 1, 4 ]. This patient was also a patient without preceding factors and he improved with only antibiotic treatment. [doi.org]
Etiology
Salmonella should be considered in the differential of the etiology of immunosuppressed patient with septic bursitis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Such tests include:[11] Computed tomography of the abdomen/pelvis Abdominal or pelvic ultrasound Endoscopy and/or colonoscopy Management[edit] The management of abdominal pain depends on many factors, including the etiology of the pain. [en.wikipedia.org]
S. enterica is the etiologic agent of gastroenteritis and typhoid fever in humans ( 88 ), whereas E. coli is most commonly known as a commensal of the lower intestine of mammals, although pathogenic variants also exist ( 77 ). [doi.org]

The key to preventing illness at home, in a restaurant, at a church picnic, or anywhere else is to prevent the bacteria from growing to high levels and to destroy the bacteria through cooking to a safe minimum internal temperature. [fsis.usda.gov]
