[4] [5] Nomenclature [ edit] Typhoid fever is an illness caused by the bacterium Salmonella Typhi ( S. Typhi). The site is secure. The strongest evidence for this comes from studies that have examined the effects of administering purified toxin intravenously to C57BL/6 mice. CMAH mediates the conversion of N-acetylneuramic acid (Neu5Ac) to N-glycolylneuramic acid (Neu5Gc). Next day, cells were treated with either 0.5 g of BG-labeled or unlabeled typhoid toxin, harvested 6 hr after treatment, and cell lysates were analyzed by Western blot with an anti-Myc antibody. Supervision, Salmonella typhi encodes a functional cytolethal distending toxin that is delivered into host cells by a bacterial-internalization pathway. In this compartment, typhoid toxin is disassembled after the reduction of the disulfide bond that tethers its PltA and CdtB enzymatic subunits together, so that they can be individually translocated to the cell cytosol. The specificity of PltB has been well characterized by measuring the binding of purified typhoid toxin to large collections of glycan molecules arrayed on a solid surface. See this image and copyright information in PMC. Once exported, typhoid toxin can target a variety of cells by engaging specific cell surface receptors [1]. While toxin administration did not lead to the development of fever, intoxicated mice lost weight, suffered a decrease in the number of circulating white blood cells with a near complete depletion of neutrophils and showed clear signs of lethargy, malaise and stupor - symptoms associated with the acute phase of typhoid fever [9**]. (D) Quantification of the relative amount of typhoid toxin in the cytosolic fraction. Consequently, disassembly of the holotoxin complex requires the reduction of this disulfide bridge, which can be monitored by western blot analysis. Bowtie v1.1.2 (http://bowtie-bio.sourceforge.net/index.shtml) was then used to align the sequence reads back to a reference file of all sgRNA sequences in Library A or B (provided by Addgene). The overall structure of the holotoxin forms a pyramid shape with a PltB homopentamer at the base, PltA in the center and CdtB at the apex [9**]. Nearly all clinical isolates of Salmonella Typhi, the cause of typhoid fever, are antibiotic resistant. Purified typhoid toxin administered to laboratory animals causes many of the symptoms of typhoid fever, suggesting that typhoid toxin is a central factor in this disease. Wild type and the different CRISPR/Cas9-edited HEK293T cells (6 X 105 /ml) were seeded on 6-well plates and transfected with a plasmid encoding myc-epitope tagged GalT-SNAP using Lipofectamine 2000. (2021) to compare neutralizing epitopes recognized by anti-PltB antibodies to the epitope recognized by TyTx11. Competing interests: The authors have declared that no competing interests exist. Briefly, purified toxin preparations (1 mg/ml) were incubated with the OG-488 dye in 100 mM bicarbonate buffer for 1 h at room temperature and applied to a size-exclusion chromatography column to separate the toxin from the free dye. As defects in toxin transport should lead to resistance to intoxication, it was expected that the identity of at least some of these genes should provide a road map for the typhoid toxin transport pathway. The studys authors found that the bacterial B subunit recognizes and attaches to the sugars, known as trisaccharides, on the membranes of immune cells. and transmitted securely. Consistent with the requirement of the GARP complex for typhoid toxin transport, our screen also identified Arl1, a GTPase that is thought to play a regulatory role for GARP complex function [52] (Fig 2 and S1 and S2 Tables). Once attached, the toxin gains entry into the cell. CDC . Here we show that one of the proteins secreted by the typhoid bacteria plays an important role for this pathogenic mechanism, Song said. and transmitted securely. (D) Gene ontology term enrichment analysis of genes whose inactivation conferred toxin resistance. This toxin consists of three protein subunits that form a complex. For example, although some toxins require clathrin for their internalization [4648], we found no evidence for clathrin involvement in typhoid toxin uptake, neither in our screen (S1 and S2 Tables) nor by directly targeting clathrin with CRISPR/Cas9-mediated genome editing (S2 Fig). The researchers discovered that the typhoid toxin is actually made up of 1 molecule each of PltA and CdtB, along with 5 PltB molecules. Low incidence of N-glycolylneuraminic acid in birds and reptiles and its absence in the platypus. Expression of typhoid toxin is induced shortly after invasion S. Typhi invasion of host cells. The trafficking processes that follow typhoid toxin-receptor binding and culminate in host cell intoxication have not been studied in detail. #1000000049) and the plasmid psPAX2 (Cat. Infect. Briefly, the genes encoding typhoid toxin in Salmonella Typhi (pltA/pltB/6xHis-cdtB) or CDT in Campylobacter jejuni (cdtA/cdtC/6xHis-cdtB) were cloned into the pET28a (Novagen) expression vector. Epub 2013 Jul 10. Assistant Editors:Vicki Contie andBrian Doctrow, Ph.D. NIH Research Mattersis a weekly update of NIH research highlights reviewed by NIHs experts. Important insights into these issues were provided by the crystal structure of typhoid toxin, which was solved to 2.4 resolution (Figure 1A) [9**]. The MAGeCK algorithm was used to identify positively selected genes in each library separately [25]. Proteins involved in the transport of all the indicated toxins are depicted in yellow while proteins uniquely involved in typhoid toxin transport are indicated in blue. Therefore to reach their translocation site, AB5 toxins must be transported from the plasma membrane to the endoplasmic reticulum through a process collectively referred to as retrograde transport. A subsequent investigation into the neighboring pertussis toxin homologs, dubbed pltA and pltB (pertussis-like toxin A and B), indicated that they have a similar intracellular-specific expression pattern [3**]. Mathur R, Oh H, Zhang D, Park SG, Seo J, Koblansky A, Hayden MS, Ghosh S. A mouse model of Salmonella typhi infection. Genomic DNA was purified from CRISPR-Cas9 edited HEK293T cell lines and analyzed by PCR with specific primers listed in S3 Table. It was recentlydiscovered that S. Typhi produces an unusual toxin known as typhoid toxin. Inset shows the Western blot analysis of the wild type and CLTC-deficient (KO) cell lines for the presence of CltC.

Malnutrition and maternal vaccination against typhoid toxin. This site needs JavaScript to work properly. Once inside the body, the bacteria multiply and spread from the intestinal tract into the bloodstream. The P-values represent the probability of the identified genes to be annotated to a particular GO term relative to all the annotated human genes. This observation is relevant since both toxins share the active subunit in whose activity this genetic screen was based. However, our screen identified suppressor/enhancer of Lin-12-like (Sel1L) as essential for typhoid toxin translocation from the ER (Fig 5C and 5D). There are two major types of modes of toxic action: non-specific acting toxicants and specific acting toxicants. The emergence of the critical residues that allow the formation of the intermolecular disulfide bond that joins CdtB to the PltAB complex must have been a pivotal step in the evolution of this remarkable toxin. Writing review & editing, Affiliation Accessibility The viral libraries were titered as follows. Would you like email updates of new search results? Direct IgG epitope mapping on bacterial AB toxins by cryo-EM. Global trends in typhoid and paratyphoid Fever. AB-type toxins are generally produced and secreted by extracellular bacteria and subsequently gain access to host cells via receptor-mediated uptake processes [10]. Typhoid toxin is exclusively produced by intracellular S. Typhi and its autocrine/paracrine intoxication mechanism demands a far more intricate delivery process than is required for typical AB-type toxins (Figure 2). There are different mechanisms by which proteins are translocated via this pathway, which are largely dependent on whether the misfolded proteins are located in the lumen of the ER, within the ER membrane, or on the cytosolic side of the ER membrane. A few people, known as carriers, recover from typhoid fever but continue to carry the bacteria. This would result in typhoid toxin trafficking to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), where it is expected that its inter- and intramolecular disulfide bonds would be reduced, the holotoxin would disassemble, and PltA and CdtB would be translocated to the cytoplasm. (A) Genotyping of the CRISPR/Cas9-generated knockout cells. Structure and function of the Salmonella Typhi chimaeric A(2)B(5) typhoid toxin. The parent wild type (WT) and the indicated knockout cell lines were treated with 5 g of C. jejuni CDT for 48 hr and subjected to flow cytometric cell cycle analysis. Shiga-like toxin ( SLT) is a historical term for similar or identical toxins produced by Escherichia coli. Consistent with this hypothesis, the specific determinants of TtsA's secretion function were mapped to its peptidoglycan-binding domain, which differs from that of its phage relatives in subtle but significant ways [17*]. We found that after its receptor-mediated uptake, typhoid toxin follows this overall retrograde transport pathway to the ER. Here we have used a multidisciplinary approach to define the details of the intracellular transport mechanisms utilized by typhoid toxin. To determine whether typhoid toxin follows an analogous uptake pathway, we applied fluorescently-labeled typhoid toxin to cultured cells and examined its fate over time. In Specific Aim 1 we will generate a collection . Typhoid toxin packaging requires the specific SCV environment generated through the actions of SPI-2 T3SS-secreted effector proteins, as well as interactions between PltB and specific lumenal Neu5Ac-sialylated glycan packaging receptors. In the decade since its initial discovery, great strides have been made in deciphering the unusual biological program of this toxin, which is fundamentally different from related toxins in many ways. The combined group had the best treatment effect; HS almost disappeared and closed to normal skin. To verify that typhoid toxin reaches the Golgi, we used a biochemical assay based on the expression of a SNAP-tagged reporter targeted to the Golgi apparatus [20, 21]. Our screen identified SEL1L and HRD1 (SYVN1), two components of the endoplasmic-reticulum-associated protein degradation (ERAD) pathway [28, 35], as required for intoxication (Fig 2A2D). Yes Chapter 4. (C) Cells expressing Myc-epitope tagged SNAP-GalT (Myc-SNAP-GalT) were incubated with BG-labeled typhoid toxin for 6 hr and subsequently analyzed by Western blot with an anti-Myc antibody to detect typhoid toxin/SNAP-GalT chimeric protein complexes (TT-SNAP-GalT) and anti -actin antibody as a loading control. The typhoid toxin can also promote DNA damage within the infected cells, and it is interesting to assess how this pool of toxin is translocated to the nuclear compartment. TyTx11 generated in this study neutralizes typhoid toxin effectively, comparable to TyTx4 that binds to all PltB subunits available per holotoxin. Typhoid toxin provides a window into typhoid fever and the biology of Salmonella Typhi. (D and E) Typhoid toxin transport to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Current strategies for designing antidotes against botulinum neurotoxins. Before Consistent with the stringent specificity of S. Typhi and S. Paratyphi for their human hosts, typhoid toxin has adapted to exert its function preferentially in human cells exhibiting exquisite preference for surface glycoproteins sialoglycans terminated in acetyl neuraminic acid, which are preferentially expressed by human cells [1, 14]. Our screen identified several genes encoding proteins or protein complexes involved in Golgi transport, notably all but one of the 8 components of the conserved oligomeric Golgi (COG) complex (COG1, COG2, COG4, COG5, COG6, COG7 and COG8) [27, 55] (Fig 2 and S1 and S2 Tables). Guerra L, Cortes-Bratti X, Guidi R, Frisan T. The biology of the cytolethal distending toxins. The surviving cells from the typhoid toxin treated group were harvested 15 days post treatment, re-seeded onto 15 cm dishes and then harvested when they reached 90% confluence. Once inside an immunecell, also known as a white bloodcell, the two enzymatic subunits work to disable the cells innate immune response, which is the bodys immediate and general response when a pathogen is detected. Combined high-resolution genotyping and geospatial analysis reveals modes of endemic urban typhoid fever transmission. Once inside an immunecell, also known as a white bloodcell, the two enzymatic subunits work to disable the cells innate immune response, which is the bodys immediate and general response when a pathogen is detected. Its subunits, CdtB, PltA and PltB, each possess a canonical N-terminal Sec signal peptide indicating that the Sec machinery mediates translocation of the subunits across the cytoplasmic membrane to the periplasm, where holotoxin assembly is thought to occur. Accessibility Disabling the innate immune response limits the bodys adaptive immuneresponse development, wherecells have a memory of a prior infection and launch an attack if the pathogen returns. The PubMed wordmark and PubMed logo are registered trademarks of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). Indeed, neutralizing antibody added exogenously to the culture medium completely prevents CdtB intoxication of S. Typhi infected cells, indicating that toxin produced within a cell cannot intoxicate that cell without first being exported to the extracellular space [3**]. Please enable it to take advantage of the complete set of features! Via its cytoplasmic tail, TMED2 interacts with ADP-ribosylation factor 1 (ARF1), COPI, and COPII subunits, which suggest that TMED2 can act as cargo receptor and coat protein in vesicle transport. Cells were washed in DPBS to remove unbound typhoid toxin, incubated in media containing 10% FBS for indicated times, lysed in lysis buffer [(150 mM NaCl, 50 mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.4), 0.5% Triton-100, 1X protease inhibitor cocktail (Roche)] for 30 min at 37C, and centrifuged at 14, 000 rpm for 15 min. Nat Microbiol. It's published bythe Office of Communications and Public Liaison in the NIH Office of the Director. Typhoid toxin can bind to a wide variety of cells. In addition to typhoidal Salmonellae, the typhoid toxin islet can also be found in other Salmonella lineages not commonly associated with human infection [12,13]. This toxin consists of three protein subunits that form a complex. The Typhoid Toxin Promotes Host Survival and the Establishment of a Persistent Asymptomatic Infection. eCollection 2022. Hodak H, Galan JE. Writing review & editing, Affiliation Escherichia coli strains carrying the different plasmids were grown at 37C in LB media to an OD600 of ~0.6, toxin expression was induced by the addition of 0.5 mM IPTG, and cultures were further incubated at 25C overnight. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.ppat.1007704.g004. Genomic DNAs from toxin or mock treated cells were purified with Blood & Cell Culture Midi kit (Qiagen). Structure of typhoid toxin, showing the 2 A subunits (blue and red) and 5 B subunits (green). National Library of Medicine Most cases in the United States occur in people whove traveled abroad to certain areas. Based on the available genomic sequencing data, typhoid toxin is exclusively found in Salmonellae. Bookshelf In contrast cells deficient in TMED2, SEL1L, and SYVN1 exhibited equivalent levels of toxin co-localization with GM130 to those observed in wild type (Fig 4A and 4B). Desai PT, Porwollik S, Long F, Cheng P, Wollam A, Bhonagiri-Palsikar V, Hallsworth-Pepin K, Clifton SW, Weinstock GM, McClelland M. Eutionary Genomics of Salmonella enterica Subspecies. Formal analysis, (B) Relative toxicity of typhoid toxin in the indicated knockout cell lines after treatment with a serial dilution of purified toxin.

Cells were then observed under Nikon TE2000 fluorescence or a Leica TCS SP6 Confocal microscopes. Unable to load your collection due to an error, Unable to load your delegates due to an error, Expression of typhoid toxin is induced shortly after invasion. Wild type and CRISPR/Cas9-edited HEK293T cells (1 X 107) were seeded on 10 cm dishes and treated with 1 g of purified His-tagged typhoid toxin for 30 min at 37C. Print 2020 Sep 18. A two-step PCR amplification protocol with Illumina sequencing adapters and sample barcodes was applied as described previously using primers listed in S3 Table. Further development of animal models will be crucial to define typhoid toxin's role in S. Typhi pathogenesis. The first step in this process is the secretion of typhoid toxin from the bacterial cell into the lumen of the SCV. The positions of CdtB and the CdtB-PltA heteromeric complex are indicated. 2022 Nov 25;13:1016438. doi: 10.3389/fmicb.2022.1016438. We applied BG-labeled typhoid toxin to cells expressing the SNAP-tagged Golgi resident protein GalT and monitored the potential arrival of the toxin to the Golgi over time by a gel mobility assay to detect the typhoid toxin-SNAP-GalT (TT-SNAP-GALT) complex. Funding: This work was supported by a Grant from the National Institutes of Allergy and Infectious Disease of the National Institutes of Health (Grant number AI079022 to JEG). TtsA lacks a Sec signal sequence and it has been hypothesized that its translocation to the periplasm might be exerted by a yet unidentified holin. Yes Once internalized, the toxin must be transported to its final subcellular destination by specific transport mechanisms. #2276), TMED2 (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Cat.# sc376458), and GM130 (BD Bioscience, Cat. Typhoid toxin is a virulence factor for Salmonella Typhi and Paratyphi, the cause of typhoid fever in humans. ttsA encodes a putative N-acetyl--D-muramidase that is homologous to phage endolysins, which degrade the cell wall to facilitate phage release from bacterial cells [17-19]. Purification of typhoid toxin and cytolethal distending toxin (CDT) was conducted as described previously [1, 72]. Likewise, despite strong sequence conservation within the CdtB family, Cys269 is unique to the typhoid toxin gene [9**]. Locht C, Coutte L, Mielcarek N. The ins and outs of pertussis toxin. (C and D) Typhoid toxin Golgi localization determined by SNAP-capture. Here, we have dissected the second of these trafficking events and identified cellular machinery that transports typhoid toxin from the cell surface to its final destination within the intoxicated cells. The mechanisms of action by which toxins disrupt eukaryotic cell processes are dependent on the target. We found that cells deficient in the GARP complex components VPS51 and VPS54 exhibited significantly reduced toxin co-localization with GM130 relative to wild-type cells (Fig 4A and 4B). The discovery of typhoid toxin arose from investigations into an 5 Kbp S. Typhi genomic islet that contains homologs of components of two distinct bacterial exotoxins: cytolethal distending toxin (CDT) and pertussis toxin [2*,3**]. The site is secure. Together with its unusual composition and delivery mechanism, this suggests that typhoid toxin is highly adapted to Salmonella's distinctive virulence program. Purified typhoid toxin administered to laboratory animals causes many of the symptoms of typhoid fever, suggesting that typhoid toxin is a central factor in this disease. -, Crump J.A., Mintz E.D. The study focuses on a toxin, a protein compound secreted by S. Typhi that helps the bacteria evade the host's immune response. The study was funded in part by National Institutes of Health. A diagram of the genetic locus that encodes the typhoid toxin genes is depicted ( Top ). Early after switching the toxin-treated cells to 37C (30 min) we detected CdtB with a mobility corresponding to a molecular weight consistent with a CdtB-PltA complex (Fig 1E). Salmonella Typhi is a fascinatingly complex bacterium. Typhoid toxin holds a great deal of promise as a target for such interventions, as highlighted by the fact that toxoid vaccines and anti-toxin therapeutics have proven to be been highly effective agents to combat other toxigenic bacterial pathogens [32-35]. Clin. Cell-cycle arrest after typhoid toxin intoxication was examined by flow cytometry as previously described [2]. GO terms are shown depicting biological processes in black and cellular components in gray. More specifically, the screen identified genes encoding components of well-characterized multi-protein complexes such as the Golgi-associated retrograde protein (GARP) (VPS51, VPS52, VPS53, VPS54) [26] and the conserved oligomeric Golgi (COG) (COG1, COG4, COG5, COG6, COG7, COG8) complexes [27], as well as components of the ER-associated degradation (ERAD) retro-translocation machinery (SEL1L and SYVN1) [28, 29]. Typhoid toxin consists of three functionally distinct subunits: two enzymatic 'A' subunits important for intoxicating host cells after the delivery into host cells and one homopentamer of receptor-binding 'B' subunit impor- tant for the delivery of the toxin into host cells. Similarly, removal of the members of the COG complex, COG1 or COG5, which are involved in Golgi trafficking [27], as well SEL1L [28] and SYVN1 [29], which are critical components of the ER-associated degradation (ERAD) pathway, also resulted in significant resistance to intoxication. Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi (S. Typhi), the cause of typhoid fever, is a human-adapted bacterial pathogen. Fixed cells were stained with an anti-GM130 antibody (red) and visualized by fluorescence microscopy. This exotoxin affects intracellular processes and creates . While typhoid toxin is able to bind a range of different glycans, it exhibits a clear preference for those featuring terminal sialic acids. To identify potentially unique specific aspects in the retrograde transport of these toxins, we examined the susceptibility to CDT of cell lines carrying inactivating mutations in genes involved in typhoid toxin transport. This toxin has a unique architecture in that its pentameric B subunit, made of PltB, is linked to two enzymatic A subunits, the ADP ribosyl transferase PltA and the deoxyribonuclease CdtB. Transduced cells (3 107) were then treated with media alone (control group) or 40 M of typhoid toxin (typhoid toxin treated group) at 37C for 60 min and changed to normal culture media. The findings,published Feb. 21 in the journal PLOS Pathogens, provide new directions for developing treatments fortyphoid fever. Salmonella Typhoid Toxin PltB Subunit and Its Non-typhoidal Salmonella Ortholog Confer Differential Host Adaptation and Virulence. Furthermore, the currently available vaccines against S. Typhi offer incomplete protection and no vaccines are available that protect against S. Paratyphi. Before It is possible that alteration in the ERAD pathway may result in a slow-down in transit of typhoid toxin through the Golgi, which could lead to more efficient TT-SNAP-GalT complex formation. Cell Host Microbe. In agreement with PltB's glycan binding specificities, sorting into vesicle carrier intermediates was effectively blocked in cells fed Neu5Gc [11*]. Taken together, these findings validate the results of our screen and implicate components of the retrograde and Golgi transport, and ERAD machinery in the transport of typhoid toxin. Typhoid toxin is an important virulence factor for the human pathogen Salmonella Typhi, the cause of typhoid fever. CDTs comprise CdtA, CdtC and CdtB that are encoded by diverse bacterial pathogens 25 . Department of Genetics, Yale University School of Medicine, New Haven, Connecticut, United States of America, Roles Microbiol Resour Announc. Through a genome-wide CRISPR/Cas9-mediated screen we have characterized the mechanisms by which typhoid toxin is transported within human cells. Typhoid toxin from the soluble fractions was recovered by affinity chromatography through a nickel resin (Qiagen) after overnight incubation at 4C and subsequent elution in 30 l of an elution buffer containing 200 mM imidazole and 0.15 M Tris-HCl (pH 6.8) for 20 min at room temperature. Despite S. Typhi's considerable impact on global health and extensive scientific scrutiny, typhoid toxin eluded detection until very recently. While mice that received a mutant version of typhoid toxin featuring a catalytically inactive CdtB showed no adverse effects, those that received wild-type toxin or toxin featuring a catalytically inactive version of PltA displayed many of the pathognomonic symptoms of typhoid fever and ultimately died [9**]. NIH Research Matters HEK293T-Cas9 transduced with the lentivirus GeCKOv2 libraries targeting human genes were grown on 6-well plates and subjected to puromycin-resistance selection for 7 days as indicated above. Nguyen T, Lee S, Yang YA, Ahn C, Sim JH, Kei TG, Barnard KN, Yu H, Millano SK, Chen X, Parrish CR, Song J. PLoS Pathog. Hedlund M, Tangvoranuntakul P, Takematsu H, Long JM, Housley GD, Kozutsumi Y, Suzuki A, Wynshaw-Boris A, Ryan AF, Gallo RL, et al. Like other CdtB homologs, the coding sequence of S. Typhi CdtB contains the required information for its translocation from the target cell cytoplasm to the nucleus [2*]. Whereas other types of Salmonella bacteria cause salmonellosis or food poisoning, S. typhi is more toxic. PMID: 23842500. Like many other host-adapted bacterial pathogens, the S. Typhi genome has undergone significant degradation leading to an unusually high number of pseduogenes; this most likely contributes to its host restriction [29]. Song J, Wilhelm CL, Wangdi T, Maira-Litran T, Lee SJ, Raetz M, Sturge CR, Mirpuri J, Pei J, Grishin NV, et al. To reach their targets within cells, bacterial toxins generally must traverse multiple membrane barriers to gain access to the cell cytosol. Cells were selectively permeabilized with digitonin and the presence of typhoid toxin in the cytosolic fraction was detected by Western blot analysis with an antibody to CdtB. Cell Microbiol. Stojkovic EA, Rothman-Denes LB. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01. Accessibility This study provides a detailed view of the transport mechanisms that deliver typhoid toxin from the cell surface to its destination within target cells, and identifies cellular components that are unique to the transport of this toxin as well as components that are also exploited for the transport of other bacterial toxins, thus providing the foundation for the development of novel anti toxin strategies. Details of the statistical tests used to evaluate the significance of all observations (including the statistical test, precision and dispersion metrics, the n values used as well as how significance is defined), is provided in the corresponding figure legends.

FOIA National Library of Medicine Typhoid fever is life-threatening but the underlying pathogenic mechanisms are not well understood, saidJeongmin Song, assistant professor of microbiology and immunology in the College of Veterinary Medicine. It is within the oxidative environment of the periplasm that the three components are thought to assemble to form the holotoxin. However, our screen also identified proteins that, although implicated in various transport functions, including the transport of other bacterial toxins, their mechanism of action is less well understood. A new study has uncovered key details for how the Salmonella bacteria that causes typhoid feveridentifies a hosts immune cells and delivers toxins that disrupt the immune system and allow the pathogen to spread.
