Abstract excerpt

Vasoactive intestinal peptide is an immunomodulator with great potential in the treatment of inflammatory pathology. In this study, we have examined the effect of VIP on the growth dynamics of virulent Salmonella enterica. Serovar typhimurium (S. typhimurium) 14028 and 4/74 and an avirulent mutant (14028 phoP) in a murine, macrophage cell line (J774.2). In contrast to standard growth dynamics, in which phoP...
