Salmonella typhimurium disrupts homeostasis primarily by infecting the gastrointestinal system, leading to inflammation and diarrhea. It invades intestinal epithelial cells, causing damage and altering gut permeability, which can result in systemic effects such as dehydration and electrolyte imbalances. The immune response triggered by the infection can affect the overall homeostasis of the body, impacting organs such as the liver and kidneys as they work to manage the resulting toxin levels and maintain fluid balance.
