hi, dowite, if you could say what chapter you were exactly studying in Kaplan Microbiology, it would be easier to track where you are and maybe give an explanation
(M cells - Macrophages?- not sure)

sorry guys,
i posted my question with salmonella title but they moved my question here without the topic (my mistake).any way i was asking about salmonella pathogenesis in KAPLAN.
now i get to know after searching on internet that 'M cells' are mucosal cells.the organism penetrates both thru n between the mucosal cells into lamina propria,with resulting inflammation n diarrhea.
THANK U for answering my question.
