Genome degradation in the c-di-GMP signaling pathways and serovar-specific YhjH-YciG interactions rewired motility regulation in Salmonella Paratyphi A

This paper shows how genome degradation in Salmonella Paratyphi A rewires c-di-GMP signaling and motility regulation through pseudogenization of ycgR and a serovar-specific YhjH-YciG interaction.

Novel pESI-encoded autotransporter adhesin PeaP of epidemic Salmonella strains mediates adhesion, atypical biofilm formation, and poultry colonization

This study identifies PeaP, a novel pESI-encoded adhesin in Salmonella Infantis that enables temperature-tolerant biofilm formation and poultry colonization.

HilE mediates motility thermoregulation in typhoidal Salmonella serovars at elevated physiological temperatures

This study shows that HilE represses motility in typhoidal Salmonella at elevated temperatures, unlike nontyphoidal strains, and this thermoregulation affects host interaction.

Persistent Salmonella infections in humans are associated with mutations in the BarA/SirA regulatory pathway

The paper identifies mutations in the BarA/SirA regulatory pathway in persistent Salmonella infections, showing they reduce virulence and inflammation.
