Salmonella is a certain type of bacteria, several species of which are responsible for typhoid fever, paratyphoid fever, and food poisoning in humans. It is usually contracted from poultry, meat, or raw eggs and from food that has been cooked or frozen and not eaten right away.

The human enzyme butyrylcholinesterase (BCHE) has long been investigated as a powerful antidote against the poisonous organophosphate compounds found in insecticides and nerve gasses. Now, scientists have created genetically modified goats that produce large quantities of recombinant BCHE in their milk. Though humans naturally produce BCHE, purification from human blood cannot produce quantities sufficient for large scale use. The drug, which can neutralize nerve agents such as VX and sarin gasses, will be known commercially as Protexia.
