Phagocyte roulette in Salmonella killing

Luke A Fenlon et al. Cell Host Microbe. .

Abstract

Salmonella propagates in macrophages to cause life-threatening infections, but the role of neutrophils in combating Salmonella has been controversial. In this issue, Burton et al. (2014) use single cell analyses and modeling to explain the ability of Salmonella to survive in macrophages while being killed by neutrophils.
