Which pathogen is specifically transmitted via the fecal-oral route and can cause Salmonellosis?

The correct choice for a pathogen specifically transmitted via the fecal-oral route that can cause Salmonellosis is Salmonella. Salmonellosis is an infection caused by the Salmonella bacteria, which can be contracted when a person ingests food or water contaminated with the feces of an infected person or animal. This contamination often occurs in environments where hygiene practices are insufficient, such as in food preparation areas or through the consumption of undercooked meat or eggs that have come into contact with fecal matter.

While other pathogens listed can also be transmitted via the fecal-oral route, they do not cause Salmonellosis specifically. Shigella is known for causing shigellosis, hepatitis A is associated with liver infection, and E. coli can cause various illnesses but not specifically the condition referred to as Salmonellosis. Thus, Salmonella is the organism directly linked to the disease in question.
