Two Dietary Metabolites Fuel Salmonella Colonization.

Two Dietary Metabolites Fuel Salmonella Colonization. Trends Microbiol. 2020 Jul 08;: Authors: Jepsen S, Jiang S Abstract Nguyen et al. used transposon sequencing analysis and competitive colonization assays to describe how aspartate/malate can trigger initial Salmonella Typhimurium gut-lumen colonization in mice, providing insight into the significance of certain key metabolites beyond the realm of Salmonella life. Metabolite-driven diagnostic and anti-infective strategies for preventing salmonellosis could rapidly emerge from this work. PMID: 32653110 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
