17) Salmonella
Eating raw or undercooked meat, poultry, or poultry products can allow an individual to become infected with the bacteria salmonella (Koerth,
Maggie). Salmonella will reside in the intestines and proliferates over a certain amount days until there are enough to launch an attack on the
intestines. Once they have the numbers the bacteria will release proteins and toxins that target the intestinal cells (Koerth, Maggie). The toxins break down the intestinal cells causing pain, diarrhea, and bloody stool (Koerth, Maggie). The body starts
responding as soon as the bacteria gets to the intestines by creating a competitive environment with the other bacteria. If that doesnÕt work
then paneth cells start producing antimicrobial peptides which help deter the bacteria from reproducing (Oram, Brian.). The acquired immune system will then kick in and create antibodies helping the macrophages destroy the bacteria. If that still does not work then the gut will release an enzyme which alters the structure of the salmonella Fe+ binding protein Ent, which stops it from reproducing (Oram, Brian.).
