Detailed explanation-1: -Salmonella can get on the shells of eggs. This can happen when birds lay the eggs and when eggs touch bird droppings (poop) after being laid. Touching eggs from the grocery store is not a major cause of illness because those eggs are washed before they reach stores. Salmonella can get inside eggs too.
Detailed explanation-2: -Salmonellosis is an infection with a bacteria called Salmonella, Salmonella live in the intestinal tracts of animals, including birds. Salmonella are usually transmitted to humans by eating foods contaminated with animal feces. Every year, approximately 40, 000 cases of salmonellosis are reported in the United States.
Detailed explanation-3: -Generally, there are two possible routes of egg contamination by Salmonella. Eggs can be contaminated by penetration through the eggshell from the colonized gut or from contaminated faeces during or after oviposition (horizontal transmission) (Messens et al., 2005a; De Reu et al., 2006).
