Salmonella: Yes, eggs can carry this bacterium. Eating raw eggs, therefore, increases your chances of acquiring the salmonella bacterium.

YES !!: An egg can become contaminated from salmonella bacteria in the chicken’s reproductive tract before a shell even forms. The same passageway that excretes feces is the one that excretes eggs – so the outer shell can be contaminated. Bacteria can also enter the pores of an eggshell after the egg is laid.
