Salmonella translocates across an in vitro M cell model independently of SPI-1 and SPI-2
1 Dec 2008
Abstract excerpt
We have used an in vitro model of intestinal M cells to examine the mechanisms by which Salmonella enterica translocates across these specialized cells, which constitute a primary site of infection of the mammalian host. S. enterica can invade cultured cells by deploying a type III secretion system (TTSS) encoded within Salmonella pathogenicity island 1 (SPI-1) to translocate effector proteins into the host cell...
