Early detection of the presence of Salmonella in food products is determined to protect the consumers from contaminated products that may lead to food poisoning. There is really a need to rapidly detect microbes to maintain food safety (Ramirez‚ 2000). Poultry farms are considered as the most feasible breeding area for Salmonella bacteria (Food

1. Salmonella enteritidis is a gram-negative bacterium that causes food-borne illnesses‚ and is the most commonly known serotype of Salmonella. It is a constant problem because of the misuse of antimicrobials in farms‚ disease treatment‚ growth promotion in domestic livestock‚ and the increasing problem of antimicrobial resistance. Current research is being conducted with bacteriophages because they have been identified as a prospective alternative bio-control method to control Salmonella contamination

Answer Questions Salmonella 1) What is the infectious agent (Pathogen) that causes this infectious disease? The infectious agent (pathogen) that causes salmonella is called salmonella enteriditis. The bacteria is larger than a virus; but‚ is visible to the eye with the microscope. It is rod-shaped‚ gram negative‚ non-motile bacteria that does not form spores. It infects the cell‚ multiplies within it; then‚ bursts the cell. Special effector protein factors are required for salmonella intestinal invasion
