None:
Salmonella establish a foundation for systemic infection through induced inflammation and immune evasion. Salmonella manipulates host metabolism to favor its own proliferation within the host. Salmonella infection can disrupt the balance of gut commensal bacteria and use microbial metabolites to fuel its own energy metabolism.

Carbohydrate Metabolism
Starch accounts for approximately 60% of the carbohydrates consumed by humans. Since amylase enzymes cannot function in the stomach's acidic environment, starch can only be digested in the mouth and small intestine. Simple sugars are found naturally in milk and fruits in...

Plant Metabolism
Sunlight, the primary source of energy in plants, is first absorbed by the chlorophyll pigments present in their leaves. Plants then use this energy to carry out photosynthesis, where water is oxidized into oxygen and carbon dioxide...
