Salmonella species can infect a diverse range of birds, reptiles, and mammals, including
humans. The type III protein secretion system (T3SS) encoded by Salmonella pathogenicity …

Salmonellae invasion and intracellular replication within host cells result in a range of
diseases, including gastroenteritis, bacteraemia, enteric fever and focal infections. In recent …

▪ Abstract Phagocytosis of pathogens by macrophages initiates the innate immune
response, which in turn orchestrates the adaptive response. In order to discriminate between …

Comparative genomics demonstrated that the chromosomes from bacteria and their viruses
(bacteriophages) are coevolving. This process is most evident for bacterial pathogens where …

Various gram-negative animal and plant pathogens use a novel, sec-independent protein
secretion system as a basic virulence mechanism. It is becoming increasingly clear that …

Salmonella enterica subspecies 1 serovar Typhimurium is a principal cause of human
enterocolitis. For unknown reasons, in mice serovar Typhimurium does not provoke …

Although nontyphoidal Salmonella (NTS; including Salmonella Typhimurium) mainly cause
gastroenteritis, typhoidal serovars (Salmonella Typhi and Salmonella Paratyphi A) cause …

Recently, Salmonella spp. were shown to induce apoptosis in infected macrophages. The
mechanism responsible for this process is unknown. In this report, we establish that the Inv …

S. typhimurium stimulates signaling pathways leading to membrane ruffling, actin
cytoskeleton rearrangements, and nuclear responses. The stimulation requires a protein …

In 1930, Felix d'Herelle wrote “... the actions and reactions are not solely between these two
beings, man and bacterium, for the bacteriophage also intervenes; a third living being and …
