VopU is a novel T3SS effector protein with mono-ADP-ribosyltransferase activity and a non-canonical H-Y-Q catalytic triad

This paper identifies VopU as a novel T3SS effector with mono-ADP-ribosyltransferase activity using a non-canonical H-Y-Q catalytic triad, showing it induces host cell stress and NAD depletion during infection.

Evaluation of Tumor-colonizing Salmonella Strains using the Chick Chorioallantoic Membrane Model

This study evaluates tumor-colonizing Salmonella strains using the chick chorioallantoic membrane model, finding that Salmonella preferentially colonizes tumors and causes cell death without requiring flagellar motility or biofilm formation.

FLIM Imaging of mCherryTYG Deciphers pH Dynamics and Lifestyles of Salmonella Typhimurium

This study develops mCherryTYG-FLIM to measure bacterial pH dynamics in Salmonella Typhimurium across different environments, revealing pH's role in virulence and persistence.
