Salmonella is usually ingested by way of contaminated food and drink. After the microbes pass through the stomach, they attach to the cells lining the small intestine. There the bacteria insert proteins into the host cells, inducing normally nonphagocytic cells to phagocytize the bacteria. The bacteria reproduce within the phagocytic vessels and end up killing the host cells. Shigella uses a similar path, but it reproduces within the cell's cytosol.
