… Additionally, it was recently shown that a host factor, SLC11a1, which restricts systemic
growth of pathogens such as M. tuberculosis and S. Typhimurium by depleting local Mg 2+ …

… enterica serovar Typhi: bacteria invade the mucosa via M-cells, colonize Peyer′s patches
… We are grateful to the members of the Hardt lab for in depth discussions and to M. Rohde, P. …

Bacterial virulence is highly dynamic and context-dependent. For this reason, it is challenging
to predict how molecular changes affect the growth of a pathogen in a host and its spread …

The Escherichia coli species represents one of the best-studied model organisms, but also
encompasses a variety of commensal and pathogenic strains that diversify by high rates of …

The gut mucosal epithelium separates the host from the microbiota, but enteropathogens such
as Salmonella Typhimurium (S.Tm) can invade and breach this barrier. Defenses against …

Vaccine-induced high-avidity IgA can protect against bacterial enteropathogens by directly
neutralizing virulence factors or by poorly defined mechanisms that physically impede …

… For infection, bacteria were grown in 0.3 M NaCl LB medium supplemented with the appropriate
antibiotic for 12 h at 37 C, and subcultured for 4 h in the same medium without antibiotic …

The emergence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria through mutations or the acquisition of
genetic material such as resistance plasmids represents a major public health issue 1 , 2 . …

Bacteriophage transfer (lysogenic conversion) promotes bacterial virulence evolution. There
