Salmonella effector driven invasion of the gut epithelium: breaking in and setting the house on fire

Abstract excerpt

Salmonella Typhimurium (S.Tm) is a major cause of diarrheal disease. The invasion into intestinal epithelial cells (IECs) is a central step in the infection cycle. It is associated with gut inflammation and thought to benefit S.Tm proliferation also in the intestinal lumen.
