Immune modulations and survival strategies of evolved hypervirulent Salmonella Typhimurium strains

摘要

Background: Evolving multidrug-resistance and hypervirulence in Salmonella is due to multiple host-pathogen, and non-host environmental interactions. Previously we had studied Salmonella adaptation upon repeated exposure in different in-vitro and in-vivo environmental conditions. This study deals with the mechanistic basis of hypervirulence of the passaged hypervirulent Salmonella strains reported previously.
