Cullens Note: Two box chart. Basically what happens cows get infected with Salmonella through contaminated feed. Either inhaling or they are eating it. Either way if you ingest it … it will go into the intestinal phase where there is colonization in ileum and LI. When it goes systemic into blood system through pulmonary system. You will have general symptoms of general toxic shock. Or septicemia. if it produces toxins in blood or not. When it is intestinal phase it is more virulent. Chronic diarrhea leading to death. Affecting cells of GIT leading to misbalance in starling forces. Not absorbing enough and water gets excreted. T3SS needle the bacteria has that pokes into the cells and puts all the nasty toxins in. Know that SPI1 (GIT infections - diarrhea etc.) and SPI2 (generalized septicemia symptoms)
