Article Excerpts about Salmonella enteritidis
Egg-associated salmonellosis is an important public health problem
in the United States and several European countries. A bacterium,
Salmonella enteritidis, can be inside perfectly normal-appearing
eggs, and if the eggs are eaten raw or undercooked, the bacterium
can cause illness. During the 1980s, illness related to contaminated
eggs occurred most frequently in the northeastern United States,
but now illness caused by S. enteritidis is increasing
in other parts of the country as well. Consumers should be aware
of the disease and learn how to minimize the chances of becoming
ill. (Source: excerpt from Salmonella enteritidis: DBMD)
