SanA is an inner membrane protein mediating the early stages of Salmonella infection

This study identifies SanA as an inner membrane protein in Salmonella that influences antibiotic resistance and infection phenotype by regulating SPI-I expression during growth phases and host cell entry.

Modulation of Salmonella virulence by a novel SPI-2 injectisome effector that interacts with the dystrophin-associated protein complex.

This paper identifies a novel SPI-2 effector, SseM, in Salmonella that interacts with the dystrophin-associated protein complex and modulates bacterial growth in mice.

Methylthioadenosine reduces host inflammatory response by suppressing Salmonella virulence

This study shows that methylthioadenosine (MTA) reduces Salmonella virulence by suppressing flagellar and SPI-1 networks, leading to decreased motility, pyroptosis, and inflammation in mice.
