Summary

Salmonella is one of the major causes of foodborne illness in the United States, and antibiotic treatment is recommended for severe infections. Every year, many people get a type of Salmonella infection that is resistant to several types of antibiotics. Careful use of antibiotics and strategies that reduce antibiotic-resistant Salmonella in animals raised for food are critical for preventing antibiotic-resistant Salmonella infections in humans.
