Under a moderate magnification of 5000X, this scanning electron micrograph (SEM) revealed the presence of numbers of clustered Gram-negative Salmonella typhimurium bacteria, that had been isolated from a pure culture. See PHIL 10975 for a colorized version of this image.What sort of germ is Salmonella?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.Created: 2009

This photograph depicts the colonial growth pattern displayed by Salmonella typhimurium bacteria cultured on a Hektoen enteric (HE) agar medium; S. typhimurium colonies grown on HE agar are blue-green in color, for this organism is a lactose non-fermenter, but it does produce hydrogen sulfide, (H2S), therefore there can be black-colored deposits present.Created: 1976

Under a very high magnification of 25000X, this scanning electron micrograph (SEM) revealed the presence of a single Gram-negative Salmonella typhimurium bacterium, which was imaged right at the point where it was undergoing the process of cell division, resulting in the formation of two separate organisms. This dividing bacterium had been isolated from a pure culture. See PHIL 10995 for a colorized version of this image.Created: 2008

Under a magnification of 2500X, this scanning electron micrograph (SEM) revealed the presence of a large number of Gram-negative Salmonella typhimurium bacteria that had been isolated from a pure culture. See PHIL 10985 for a colorized version of this image.How do people catch Salmonella?What can I do to prevent salmonellosis?- Cook poultry, ground beef, and eggs thoroughly. Do not eat or drink foods containing raw eggs, or raw (unpasteurized) milk.- If you are served undercooked meat, poultry or eggs in a restaurant, don't hesitate to send it back to the kitchen for further cooking.- Wash hands, kitchen work surfaces, and utensils with soap and water immediately after they have been in contact with raw meat or poultry.- Be particularly careful with foods prepared for infants, the elderly, and the immunocompromised.Created: 2009
