Abstract:
Intestinal pathogens must combat host and microbiota-associated resistance to establish an infection. A new study (Shelton et al.) highlights how Salmonella manipulates the mammalian host to produce anaerobic respiratory electron acceptors, allowing catabolism of propionate and providing a competitive edge to Salmonella residing in the gut.
