Abstract excerpt
Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Salmonella enterica cause very different diseases and are only distantly related. However, growth within macrophages is crucial for virulence in both of these intracellular pathogens. Here, we demonstrate that in spite of the phylogenetic distance, M. tuberculosis and Salmonella employ a parallel survival strategy for growth within macrophage phagosomes. Previous studies established...
