The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued a report about new, 'concerning' antibiotic-resistant Salmonella, which has infected 255 people and killed two.
An outbreak of drug-resistant Salmonella that’s being called “alarming” has infected 255 people in 32 different states, according to a report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Food poisoning from Salmonella isn’t that usual. About 1 in 6 Americans get sick from the bacteria every year, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. “Salmonella is very common,” Yvonne Maldonado, MD, medical director of infection control and chief of pediatric infectious disease at Stanford Children’s Health, tells Yahoo Lifestyle. “It’s everywhere. It’s one of the most common causes of diarrheal disease in the world.

The best way to deal with Salmonella is to prevent becoming infected with it in the first place. Here’s what can you do to protect yourself:Many foods contain Salmonella . They include red meat, chicken, pork, eggs, vegetables , fruit, and even processed foods, such as chicken nuggets, frozen pot pies, and nut butters, according to the CDC. “You really want to stay away from unpasteurized milk,” adds Maldonado. “Pasteurized milk is just as nutritious and healthy.
