Where salmonella hideout?

Salmonella can be found in a variety of environments, primarily in the intestines of animals, particularly poultry, cattle, and reptiles. It often contaminates food products, especially undercooked eggs, poultry, meat, and unwashed fruits and vegetables. Additionally, it can survive in soil and water, as well as on contaminated surfaces and kitchen utensils. Proper food handling and cooking practices are essential to prevent infection from this bacteria.
