Discovery of Host Proteins Involved in Host-Pathogen Interactions

Lead Institution
Pacific Northwest National Laboratory
Principal Investigator
Joshua Adkins
The multiple mechanisms by which pathogenic enterobacteria of the genus Salmonella infect their host indicate a complex host-pathogen relationship. The pathogen secretes dozens of proteins, termed &…
