Microgravity as a Novel Environmental Signal Affecting <i>Salmonella enterica</i> Serovar Typhimurium Virulence
1 Jun 2000
Abstract excerpt
The effects of spaceflight on the infectious disease process have only been studied at the level of the host immune response and indicate a blunting of the immune mechanism in humans and animals. Accordingly, it is necessary to assess potential changes in microbial virulence associated with spaceflight which may impact the probability of in-flight infectious disease. In this study, we investigated the effect of...
