Most pathogens are able to infect multiple hosts but some are highly adapted to a single-
host species. A detailed understanding of the basis of host specificity can provide important …

The mammalian intestine is colonized by a dense microbial community, the microbiota.
Homeostatic and symbiotic interactions facilitate the peaceful co‐existence between the …

The intestinal ecosystem is formed by a complex, yet highly characteristic microbial
community. The parameters defining whether this community permits invasion of a new …

Many enteropathogenic bacteria target the mammalian gut. The mechanisms protecting the
host from infection are poorly understood. We have studied the protective functions of …

Human infection with non-typhoidal Salmonella serovars (NTS) infrequently causes invasive
systemic disease and bacteremia. To understand better the nature of invasive NTS (iNTS) …

Highlights•Genomic signatures of host-adaptation and virulence of Salmonella are
emerging.•Sequence analyses can aid the prediction of zoonotic risk and source …

The mammalian intestine is colonized by a dense bacterial community, called microbiota.
The microbiota shields from intestinal infection (colonization resistance). Recently, we have …

Proteus mirabilis is commonly considered to be an opportunistic pathogen causing urinary
tract infections (UTIs) in humans. However, some strains of P. mirabilis were found to be …

Salmonella enterica serovar Enteritidis causes a systemic, typhoid-like infection in newly
hatched poultry and mice. In the present study, a library of 54,000 transposon mutants of S …
