Salmonella is an organism that can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections, particularly in young children, the elderly and those with weakened immune systems. Healthy people infected with Salmonella often experience fever, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting and/or abdominal pain. In rare circumstances, a Salmonella infection can result in the organism entering the bloodstream and producing more severe illnesses such as arterial infections, endocarditis and arthritis.
