In a review article published by a researcher in The Netherlands, ampicillin, among other traditional antibiotics, was mentioned as the mainstay therapy for the management of bacterial Salmonella infections from food. Also mentioned was that the increasing resistance to these traditional antibiotic drugs necessitates the use of different types of antibiotics for this type of bacterial disease.

Case reports also document the use of ampicillin for Salmonella infections. In one instance, a pregnant woman came down with gastroenteritis one week before delivery. The newborn infant was subsequently treated with ampicillin, gentamicin (an antibiotic), and amoxicillin (an antibiotic); however, five months later, Salmonella was still present. In this case, researchers discussed the potential route of infection and the guidelines for treatment and management of this type of bacterial infection in pregnancy and post-partum.
