Bacterial virulence is highly dynamic and context-dependent. For this reason, it is
challenging to predict how molecular changes affect the growth of a pathogen in a host and …

Globally, enteropathogenic bacteria are a major cause of morbidity and mortality. 1-3
Campylobacter, Salmonella, Shiga-toxin-producing Escherichia coli, and Listeria are among …

The intestinal microbiota is a large and diverse microbial community that inhabits the
intestinal tract, containing about 100 trillion bacteria from 500–1000 distinct species that …

Composed of trillions of individual microbes, the human gut microbiota has adapted to the
uniquely diverse environments found in the human intestine. Quickly responding to the …

Pathogenic microorganisms use various mechanisms to conserve energy in host tissues
and environmental reservoirs. One widespread but often overlooked means of energy …

Despite decades of research, efficient therapies for most enteropathogenic bacteria are still
lacking. In this review, we focus on Salmonella enterica Typhimurium (S. Typhimurium), a …

Initial enteropathogen growth in the microbiota-colonized gut is poorly understood.
Salmonella Typhimurium is metabolically adaptable and can harvest energy by anaerobic …

The mammalian digestive tract is home to trillions of microbes, including bacteria, archaea,
protozoa, fungi, and viruses. In monogastric mammals the stomach and small intestine …

Nickel is an essential cofactor for some pathogen virulence factors. Due to its low availability
in hosts, pathogens must efficiently transport the metal and then balance its ready …

Food has a major impact on all aspects of health. Recent data suggest that food composition
can also affect susceptibility to infections by enteropathogenic bacteria. Here, we discuss …
