Salmonella bacteria are frequently present in the intestines of humans and animals. They are spread through oral-fecal contact and the most frequent way humans become infected with salmonella is through the consumption of contaminated food or water. Salmonella is tasteless and odorless in drinking water–but can lead to serious illness.
