Diagnosis of salmonellosis involves testing a sample of stool, as well as isolation from samples of tissue, blood, or urine. Since it is commonly mistaken for the flu and involves similar symptoms to other illnesses, the method of diagnosis for salmonellosis is pretty hard to come by. Most people with salmonellosis don’t seek treatment, so they’re never aware that they even had it. Since it is a foodborne pathogen, has a common route of infection via oral ingestion, and is found in food products that we consume on a daily
Anheuser-Busch, as an ever-expanding company, continually re-invents, innovates, and improves its internal processes. Part of this is the continuous improvement of its supply chain management processes. Having vertically integrated most of its supply chain, Anheuser-Busch is less involved in supplier selection and the improvement of external sourcing. Rather, they focus on their internal processes in order to create a competitive advantage in the market. In an attempt to decrease costs, and in turn improve their bottom line, the company looked internally. They found a startling inefficiency: the water material requirement in their products was extremely high. This not only conflicted with their corporate social goals, but threatened to be a long-term unnecessary cost driver Anheuser-Busch chose to actively innovate its processes and sourcing channels. In their analysis of the company, it became apparent that production of Anheuser-Busch products required a tremendous amount of water.

...e cut back to the department caused an operations halt and lead to a 19 percent drop in profit and an 8 percent drop in stock. Gross stated, “Despite a recommended implementation time of 48 months, Hershey’s demanded a 30-month turnaround so that it could roll out the systems before Y2K. (Gross)” Since the schedule was so tight, Hershey’s team had to take dastardly shortcuts at critical times of the implementation (Gross). The system went live and because of the poor implementation orders was prevented (Gross). Gross state this cost Hershey $100 million worth of orders when the supplies was in stock. Gross goes over how Hershey failed to do testing at certain phases, due to their desire to implement the system fast.

... In America there are an estimated 100,000 cases of people getting salmonellosis from contact with their reptilian pets each year. Young children are the primary victims because they are at the greatest risk. Bottle-fed infants have the highest risk of infection. Reptile associated salmonellosis is responsible for large outbreaks spread across multiple states besides the various isolated cases that are reported. There was one instance where 240 people in 42 different states all were infected with salmonellosis after contact with African dwarf frogs all raised and sold by one California breeder. This shows how easy it is for Salmonella bacteria to spread. Some of the people that fell ill only came in to contact with the frogs in passing during fairs and carnivals where they were present. This reminds us that we must always be very careful with what we interact with.

The first ship ran aground, but Arison remained steadfast in achieving his vision of a cruise line offering affordable vacation packages to middle-income consumers. By 1977, Carnival had three ships, and ten years later, as the industry leader, the company went public.
