Abstract:Salmonella enterica is a Gram-negative foodborne pathogen belonging to the family Enterobacteriaceae that accounts for global disease burden and has become a top priority pathogen. The stealthy pathogen Salmonella can sense diverse cues from the host and modify the expression of its virulence factors. Formate is one of the important constituents of Short Chain Fatty Acids (SCFAs) present in the distal ileum and has previously been studied as an important signal to promote invasion in Salmonella Typhimurium.
