Tag: Salmonellosis

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), *Salmonella* is a leading cause of foodborne illness, causing millions of infections globally. While it is a bacterium that can be killed with antibiotics, using medication is not the standard or most appropriate treatment for all cases of salmonellosis.

Most uncomplicated *Salmonella* infections resolve on their own within three to seven days and do not require antibiotics. Deciding **how long to take antibiotics for salmonella?** depends heavily on the infection's severity, the specific type of bacteria, and the patient's individual health status.
