About Salmonellosis

Salmonellosis is an illness caused by certain strains of Salmonella bacteria. It usually causes gastroenteritis.

In Australia, most people who get salmonellosis get it from contaminated food.

There are other strains of Salmonella bacteria that can cause typhoid fever and paratyphoid fever, which can be serious if left untreated.
