Salmonella, Campylobacter, hemorrhagic E. coli and Listeria all cause infections.
Food intoxication results from consumption of toxins (or poisons) produced in food by bacterial growth.
Toxins, not bacteria, cause the illness. Toxins may not alter the appearance, odor or flavor of food.
After ingestion. the vegetative cells start to sporulate in the intestinal tract (change their life form into spores) and release the toxin.
Salmonella produces spores in the GI tract. The spores release the toxin causing the illness called food poisoning.

∙ 7y agoAccording to the FDA Bad Bug Book, Salmonella spp.are non-spore formers, so - no spores.
There are two types of illnesses caused by Salmonella: nontyphoidal salmonellosis and typhoid fever. In both types, route of entry is the same in that the bacteria is ingested orally (contaminated food & water, fecal particles, etc). Both work their way into the epithelium of the small intestine, where inflammation starts by the nontyphoidal type. With typhoid fever, the bacteria works its way into the blood stream to other organs where inflammation starts. There is evidence enterotoxin may be produced by both types.
Historically, Salmonellosis has been called a food infection, not a food intoxication, because the illness is caused by ingesting live bacteria and not a toxin.

How many spores does a basidium produce?
4 spores
Can spoiled food kill?
Yes, via bacteria such as salmonella or toxins such as botulinum.
What does fungi produce?
all fungi produce spores!
Why bacteria produce toxins?
Bacteria produce toxins as a byproduct. They are formed when the bacteria produce energy for themselves by changing one substance into another, and in some cases, there are byproducts, some of which can be toxins.
What kind of spores are produced by flowering plants?
flowering plants don't produce spores - they produce pollen
Does E. coli bacteria have spores?
The answer is no, and as for references, please visit the related link below. It's the top line.
What species does not produce spores?
Capsella bursa-pastoris does not produce spores.
How does salmonella spoil your food?
it reproduses on the food and spreads its toxins
Does bacteria produce toxins?
Yes. Bacteria do produce toxins. Usually gram positive bacteria produce exo-toxins and gram negative bacteria produce endo-toxins.
Why do ferns produce spores?
Ferns produce spores as their means of procreation as other plants produce seeds.
The seed plant spores that produce microgametophytes?
The spores that produce microgametophytes are called microspores.
What sporophyte produce?
They produce spores.
How many spores does a basidium produce?
4 spores
In what stage does the plant produce spores?
Plants produce spores during the gametophyte, or haploid, stages. Spores are the sex cells for the plant. The spores will then germinate and produce new plants.
