Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium delivers a variety of proteins via the Salmonella pathogenicity island 1 (SPI1)-encoded type III secretion system into host cells, where they elicit several physiological changes, including bacterial invasion, macrophage apoptosis, and enteropathogenesis. Once Salmonella has established a systemic infection, excess macrophage apoptosis would be detrimental to the pathogen,...
