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.
According 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.

What type of spores do lycopodium produce?
Lycopodium plants produce spores known as homosporous spores. These spores are all of the same type and give rise to a single type of gametophyte.
What does fungi produce?
all fungi produce spores!
Can ginger produce spores?
No, ginger does not produce spores as it is a flowering plant that reproduces through seeds. Ginger is propagated through division of rhizomes rather than spores.
Why do spores increase the risk of poisoning?
Spores can increase the risk of poisoning because they are often heat-resistant and can survive cooking. If ingested, these spores can germinate and produce toxins inside the body, leading to poisoning. This is why proper food handling and storage are crucial in preventing spore-related food poisoning.
What do plants produce in sporophyte stage?
spores
Are spores dangerous?
Spores themselves are not usually dangerous. However, some spores can produce toxins or cause allergic reactions in some individuals. It's important to be cautious around spores from certain molds or fungi, especially for people with respiratory conditions or compromised immune systems.
How does salmonella spoil your food?
it reproduses on the food and spreads its toxins
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.
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 plant stage produces 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.
Do ferns reproduceby forming spores?
They produce by spores, yes.
Each basidium will produce how many spores?
Four spores
Why does the budding process not produce spores?
Spores are unnecessary to asexual reproduction.
Do animals produce diploid spores?
Spores are produced during sporogenesis, which is found specifically in plants, algae and fungi. No animals currently produce spores as a method of reproduction.
