Abstract

Introduction of Salmonella enterica serotype Typhimurium into food products results from its ability to persist in the intestine of healthy livestock by mechanisms that are poorly understood. The non-fimbrial adhesin ShdA is a fibronectin binding protein required for persistent intestinal carriage o...
