This study shows Salmonella can replicate in macrophages without Type III Secretion Systems if provided with preferred nutrients, highlighting the role of host metabolic heterogeneity in bacterial replication.

This study uses TraDIS to identify conditionally essential genes in Salmonella Typhimurium during porcine infection, revealing niche-specific and conserved fitness requirements.

This study identifies CSAP-1, a MACPF domain protein from Chryseobacterium massiliae, as a broad-spectrum antimicrobial that inhibits Flavobacteriales species and contributes to zebrafish larval protection against Flavobacterium covae.

This study identifies host proteins ubiquitylated by Salmonella NEL effectors, revealing their broad impact on host pathways and providing insights into bacterial subversion of host cell processes.

This study shows that RNase HI deficiency in Salmonella enterica reduces virulence by altering gene expression and virulence-related phenotypes, suggesting it as a target for anti-virulence strategies.
