What's the reasoning behind washing eggs to make them more susceptible to salmonella?

Because it cleans the poop off.

So if an egg has poop on it, it's less likely to have salmonella?

There is a coating on the outside of the egg which prevents that.

Washing the egg removes the poo and the coating.
