Salmonella enterica Detection Kits
Salmonella enterica have emerged as significant foodborne pathogens that pose a serious public health problem. The symptoms of salmonellosis may include diarrhea, fever, vomiting, and abdominal cramps with elderly, new-born, and immunocompromised individuals the most susceptible. S. enterica is a facultatively anaerobic Gram-negative bacterium that could survive low temperatures and freezing. The majority of the 1.3 billion annual cases of Salmonella-caused human gastroenteritis result from ingestion of contaminated food products, such as raw or undercooked meat, seafood, and eggs, as well as raw or unpasteurized milk and dairy products. Salmonella infections are also contracted following consumption of fresh fruits or vegetables that have been contaminated by infected fertilizer.
