Study finds deadly bacteria with ‘thirst for human blood’

Some of the world's deadliest bacteria, like Salmonella and E. Coli, feed on human blood in a phenomenon discovered by a research team led by Washington State University.
This phenomenon, termed "bacterial vampirism", involves bacteria being attracted to the liquid part of blood, which is rich in nutrients they can consume.
These bacteria, known to cause foodborne illnesses, can move from the gut to the bloodstream, potentially leading to severe consequences like sepsis.
