Thus spake (Nick Maclaren)

Even excluding the fact that Chief Bullshit Advisers are paid to
prostitute their scientific reputations, the coverage leads even
many educated people to believe that Salmonella should be considered
as comparable to typhoid or even cholera. And that E. coli (generally,
not just 0157) is a disease :-(

Ummm... Typhoid and paratyphoid are caused by Salmonella species.

I had to laugh a the 'Microban' treated electric kettles in the Index
catalogue though.
