Salmonella enterica is a bacteria that causes food poisoning in a human. Most people infected with this bacteria develop diarrhoea, fever, vomiting and abdominal cramps, which occur between 12 and 72 hours after the bacteria has entered the body. This illness usually lasts 4 to 7 days and most individuals recover from Salmonella without the intervention of treatment. The Salmonella starts in the intestines to the bloodstream and then to other areas within the body.
People who are mainly vulnerable to this infection are elderly, infants and the individuals who have a weakened immune system, for example alcoholism, AID and cancer sufferers. These specific people are more vulnerable to becoming severely ill with this Salmonella bacteria.
Biological structure:
A Salmonella bacterium includes; bacterial flagellum, cytoplasm, ribosomes, mesosome, a cell wall, capsule, DNA and plasma membrane. A flagellum is a thread-like structure which allows the bacteria to swim. A cytoplasm is the material within the cell, which does not include the nucleus. Ribosomes are particles which fastens messenger RNA and transfer RNA. A mesosome is a fold in the plasma membrane of a bacteria. A cell wall is a layer of material outside the plasma membrane of the bacteria. A …show more content…
For example, washing your hands carefully and efficiently with soap and warm water, after dealing with food or eating food, after preparing raw food, after going to the toilet, after having contact with animals and after being in the garden. Also, guidelines suggest that you are supposed to keep cooked food away from raw food, keep raw food below cooked food in the fridge, was raw fruit and vegetables, cook food thoroughly and to clean all kitchen surfaces carefully. It is also advised that pets such as reptiles should not be kept in households with children aged 5 or under, or with someone with a weakened immune
