Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that Salmonella is a type of bacteria that causes infection in humans, often leading to foodborne illness.
Recognize that the primary site of infection for Salmonella is the gastrointestinal tract, specifically the intestines.
Salmonella bacteria enter the host through ingestion, typically via contaminated food or water.
Once ingested, Salmonella bacteria survive the acidic environment of the stomach and reach the intestines, where they adhere to and invade the intestinal epithelial cells.
Inside the intestines, Salmonella can replicate and cause symptoms such as diarrhea, abdominal cramps, and fever, which are characteristic of salmonellosis.
