The gut microbiota is increasingly recognized for playing a critical role in human health and disease, especially in conferring resistance to both virulent pathogens such as Salmonella, which infects 1.2 million people in the United States every year [1], and opportunistic pathogens like Candida,...
A more complete and holistic view on host–microbe interactions is needed to understand the physiological and cellular barriers that affect the efficacy of drug treatments and allow the discovery and development of new therapeutics. Here, we developed a multimodal imaging approach combining histop...
Salmonella Typhimurium establishes systemic infection by replicating in host macrophages. Here we show that macrophages infected with S. Typhimurium exhibit upregulated glycolysis and decreased serine synthesis, leading to accumulation of glycolytic intermediates. The effects on...
Salmonella Typhimurium (S. typhimurium), a gram-negative foodborne pathogen, is the leading cause of Salmonella food poisoning in humans. slyA has been demonstrated to be a critical transcriptional regulator in S. typhimurium, enabling the pathogen to survive in host cells by modulating the expre...
By establishing a model of enteritis in mice infected with Salmonella Typhimurium, this study investigates the effects of ion concentration in drinking water on intestinal metabolites and microbiota structure in mice, as well as its influence on pathogen susceptibility and the host-patho...
