It has the ability to survive in the human intestine and to cross a variety of membranes, including mucosal, intestinal, placental, and blood–brain barriers, allows it to generate illnesses ranging from gastroenteritis in healthy individuals to bacteremia and meningitis in immunocompromised patients, as well as mother-to-child infections.
