Nutritional and metabolic requirements for the infection of HeLa cells by Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium.
Salmonella is the causative agent of a spectrum of human and animal diseases ranging from gastroenteritis to typhoid fever. It is a food--and water--borne pathogen and infects via ingestion followed by invasion of intestinal epithelial cells and phagocytic cells. In this study we employed a mutation...
