Enteric pathogens such as Salmonella enterica cause significant morbidity and mortality. S.
enterica serovars are a diverse group of pathogens that have evolved to survive in a wide …

Salmonellae are important causes of enteric diseases in all vertebrates. Characterization of
the molecular mechanisms that underpin the interactions of salmonellae with their animal …

It is commonly assumed that the horizontal transfer of most bacterial chromosomal genes is
limited, in contrast to the frequent transfer observed for typical mobile genetic elements …

Salmonella enterica infections result in diverse clinical manifestations. Typhoid fever,
caused by S. enterica serovar Typhi (S. Typhi) and S. Paratyphi A, is a bacteremic illness but …

Salmonella enterica serovars cause severe disease in humans, such as gastroenteritis and
typhoid fever. The bacteria are able to invade and replicate within host cells, including …

Type III secretion systems (T3SSs) are complex bacterial structures that provide gram-
negative pathogens with a unique virulence mechanism enabling them to inject bacterial …

PhoP-PhoQ is a two-component system that governs virulence, mediates the adaptation to
Mg2+-limiting environments, and regulates numerous cellular activities in several gram …

For intracellular pathogens such as Salmonellae, Mycobacteriae and Brucellae, infection
requires adaptation to the intracellular environment of the phagocytic cell. The transition …

Reflecting a complex set of interactions with its host, Salmonella spp. require multiple genes
for full virulence. Many of these genes are found inpathogenicity islands' in the chromosome …

That we live with numerous bacteria in our gut without any adverse effects is a remarkable
feat by the body's immune system, particularly considering the wealth of sensing and effector …
