Salmonella spp. — Salmonella

Review by an infectious diseases specialist in progress · edited by a physician, AI-assisted writing · level of evidence computed from the source type · page as of 26 October 2026 · Methodology

Enterobacteriaceae · Gram-negative

Les Salmonella non typhoïdiques peuvent provoquer des bactériémies avec atteintes vasculaires (endartérite, anévrisme mycotique aortique) notamment chez les sujets avec athérosclérose ou drépanocytose. Salmonella Typhi : fièvre typhoïde — bactériémie prolongée, urgence thérapeutique. Une bactériémie à Salmonella avec douleurs dorsales/abdominales fait rechercher un anévrisme infecté (angio-TDM).

Scope: dosing as described in the cited guidelines (French or international context, stated by the source), for adults with normal renal function unless stated on the line. No renal or hepatic, paediatric or pregnancy adjustment is provided systematically. These regimens have not been reviewed by any infectious-disease specialist to date.

Documented organ tropism

Organs where foci of Salmonella spp. are described in the cited literature. The reported frequency is not an individual probability.

Organ	Tropism	Level of evidence	Sources	Spread route
Colon / Alimentary system	High tropism	Evidence B	1	not recorded
Liver / Bile duct	Moderate tropism	Evidence C	1	not recorded
Urinary system / Bladder (bilharziose)	Rare tropism	Evidence C	1	not recorded
Bones / Joints	High tropism	Evidence B	2	hematogenous
Aorta	Moderate tropism	Evidence C	1	hematogenous

Described portals of entry

• Colon / Alimentary system

Spread routes recorded: 2 of 5 documented foci A focus without a route is not a focus without spread: the route is simply not recorded.

Associated syndromes

• Infectious diarrhoea
