Core Tip	The role and clinical implications of Salmonella enterica (SE) in Crohn’s disease (CD) are controversial and currently unknown. We evaluated the role of exposure to SE in a cohort of Chilean patients suffering from CD. Although our study showed no association between SE exposure and CD, we observed a positive correlation between SE exposure and cigarette smoking in CD patients, but not with disease severity. These data provide evidence that more precisely defines the real role of Salmonella infection, an important environmental factor in CD.
