¿Es realmente malo comer masa de galletas?

La salmonela infecta millones de personas cada año, provocando fiebre, calambres estomacales y diarrea. Y estos síntomas pueden ser mortales. La salmonela es la principal causa de hospitalizaciones y muertes por intoxicación alimentaria. Entonces, ¿cómo se transmite de los pollos a los humanos? Emma Bryce sigue el recorrido de este astuto patógeno de la granja al plato.

Salmonella is responsible for millions of illnesses every year, often traced back to contaminated eggs and poultry. In one 2010 outbreak, millions of eggs were recalled and industry leaders faced jail time, all sparked by a single infected egg. This resilient bacterium survives harsh conditions, outsmarts our immune defenses, and can even be deadly in its most severe forms. While most people recover without treatment, ongoing vigilance and better food practices are vital to controlling its spread.

A Microscopic Invader That Shakes Global Food Safety

Each year, Salmonella sickens millions and stands as the leading cause of food poisoning hospitalizations and deaths. In 2010, a single contaminated egg sparked a massive outbreak, highlighting how this bacterium exploits unhygienic conditions to infiltrate the food supply. Once in the body, Salmonella uses clever survival tactics to evade the immune system and trigger severe symptoms. While most recover without antibiotics, vulnerable groups and rare strains like S. typhi can face life-threatening complications.
