Evolving Threats: Leveraging C. elegans to Decode the Virulence Profiles of Highly Related Environmental Salmonella Newport Isolates

Christina M. Ferreira, Mirae Choe, Bella Wayhs…·Rebecca L. Bell

This study uses C. elegans to compare the virulence of five S. Newport isolates, finding that two strains are more virulent despite being nearly genetically identical.
