Answer:

Explanation:Salt kills some types of bacteria, effectively by sucking water out of them. In a process known as osmosis, water passes out of a bacterium so as to balance salt concentrations on each side of its cell membrane. ... These pathogens have a salt alert system that uses sponge-like molecules to prevent water loss.. Without water, bacterial proteins such as enzymes cannot function and eventually the cell collapses in on itself.

Some bacteria can tolerate salt; they are halotolerant. Certain strains of Staphylococcus, responsible for infections, blood poisoning, and even death, are halotolerant. These pathogens have a salt alert system that uses sponge-like molecules to prevent water loss .
