Dynamics of spread of Salmonella enterica in the systemic compartment

Microbes Infect. 2013 Nov;15(13):849-57. doi: 10.1016/j.micinf.2013.10.003. Epub 2013 Oct 30.

Abstract

Traditional microbiological and immunological tools, combined with modern imaging, and molecular and mathematical approaches, have revealed the dispersive nature of Salmonella infections. Bacterial escape from infected cells, spread in the tissues and attempts to restrain this process by the host give rise to fascinating scenarios that underpin the pathogenesis of salmonelloses.

Keywords: Immunity; Infection; Salmonella; Spread; Type 3 secretion systems.
