A member asked:
Should the patient with a wound culture that has salmonella be isolated?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: They should be under contact isolation as they may also be infected with salmonella in the stool. Once the infection has been treated and when the wound culture and 2 separate stool cultures are negative for salmonella they could be taken off of isolation.
