Different species of microbe seem to have evolved to hone in on different parts of the body. In part, this selection is connected to their point of entry.
For example :
If they enter from the air via the nose, they are likely to go to the lungs. This is seen in the bacteria causing tuberculosis.
If they enter through the mouth, they can stay in the gut lining like typhoid - causing bacteria.
They can go to the liver like the virus causing jaundice.
