What is the mode of transmission for salmonellosis?

The mode of transmission for salmonellosis primarily occurs through the consumption of contaminated food or water, particularly undercooked or raw meats, eggs, and unpasteurized dairy products. It can also spread through contact with infected animals, their environments, or feces. In some cases, person-to-person transmission can occur, especially in settings with poor hygiene. Proper food handling and cooking practices are essential to prevent infection.
