Show Hint
Remember the triad of foodborne illnesses:
1. Intoxication: Toxin is made in food before eating (e.g., S. aureus, C. botulinum).
2. Infection: Bacteria grow and invade the host tissues (e.g., Salmonella, Listeria).
3. Toxi-infection: Bacteria are eaten alive and then release toxins inside the gut (e.g., C. perfringens, V. cholerae).
