S.typhi are able to survive in gastric acid and once in the small

intestine, are taken up by and invade M cells. Organisms are then engulfed lymphoid tissue. Unlike S.enteritidis, S.typhi can then disseminate via lymphatics and blood vessels. Causing reactive hyperplasia of phagocytes and lymphoid tissues throughout the body.
