Relevance to the US physician与美国医生相关:
As of Oct. 7th, 278 people infected in the most recent US outbreak, thought to be related to chicken from Foster Farms

Many of these strains of Samonella were drug-resistant
这些沙门氏的许多菌株都是耐药性的

Bottom Line 要点:
Suspect Salmonellosis in patients with appropriate exposure and symptoms, give supportive care for most, only give antibiotics to severely ill patients after sending blood and stool culture and sensitivities.
对有接触史和症状的可疑沙门氏菌病患者，主要是支持治疗，只有对那些重症患者在做血液和粪便培养和敏感试验后给予抗生素。
