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.

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.


Are spores formed with salmonella?

No, salmonella does not form spores. Salmonella is a type of bacteria that belongs to the family Enterobacteriaceae and is classified as a non-spore-forming organism. Instead of forming spores, salmonella can survive in adverse conditions by entering a dormant state or forming biofilms. This makes it resilient in various environments, but it does not have the spore-forming capability characteristic of some other bacteria.
