The best form of treatment is prevention:

  • strict standards of hygiene should be adhered to by all food handlers and adequate storing, preparing and cooking of all foods is vital

  • other patients with salmonella infection should be excluded from work or school until they are asymptomatic. If cases occur in hospital, then patients should be isolated

  • food handlers should have three consecutive, negative, weekly stool cultures before they return to work

  • health care and nursery workers, and children under 5 years should return to work or school when asymptomatic. Appropriate instruction about personal hygiene should be given
