Salmonella and Campylobacter

Salmonella and Campylobacter bacteria cause gastrointestinal illness that generally causes diarrhea, cramping, abdominal pain and fever. Both may cause bloody stools. Salmonella infection can also cause fever.

Both foodborne pathogens are often associated with the consumption of under-cooked poultry or cross-contamination.
