Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium is a primary enteric pathogen infecting both
humans and animals. Infection begins with the ingestion of contaminated food or water so …

Post-translational modifications (PTM) decorate proteins to provide functional heterogeneity
to an existing proteome. The large number of known PTMs highlights the many ways that …

The ability of Salmonella to form complex surface-associated communities, called biofilms,
contributes to its resistance and persistence in both host and non-host environments and is …

RcsB, a response regulator of the FixJ/NarL family, is at the center of a complex network of
regulatory inputs and outputs. Cell surface stress is sensed by an outer membrane …

Swarming is the fastest known bacterial mode of surface translocation and enables the rapid
colonization of a nutrient-rich environment and host tissues. This complex multicellular …

Tolerance and persistence are superficially similar phenomena by which bacteria survive
bactericidal antibiotics. It is assumed that the same physiology underlies survival of …

The bacterial cell envelope is a protective barrier at the frontline of bacterial interaction with
the environment, and its integrity is regulated by various stress response systems. The Rcs …

Bacteria have spectacular survival capabilities and can spread in many, vastly different
environments. For instance, when pathogenic bacteria infect a host, they expand by …

Salmonella enterica species are exposed to envelope stresses due to their environmental
and infectious lifestyles. Such stresses include amphipathic cationic antimicrobial peptides …

Recent reports support the long-standing hypothesis that acetyl phosphate, a physiologically
relevant small molecule, can serve as a phosphoryl donor to a subset of two-component …
