Expert Solution

Step 1

The immune system protects our bodies from intruders including viruses, bacteria, and foreign bodies. Salmonella infection is a frequent bacterial illness that affects the gastrointestinal tract. Salmonella bacteria are generally found in the intestines of animals and humans and are expelled through feces. Adhesins are bacterial cell-surface elements or appendages that aid in adhesion or attachment to other cells or surfaces, often in the host they are infecting or living in.
