It highlights the critical role of ManNAc in bacterial adaptation within host environments, offering new insights into the molecular mechanisms underpinning Salmonella pathogenesis.

A multistate outbreak of Salmonella enteritidis in June 2025, linked to contaminated eggs from a California facility, led to 79 cases and a major recall. The incident underscores the critical role ...

Their findings also show that the behavioral changes commonly observed in Salmonella in laboratory settings don’t necessarily reflect how they behave in the natural environment, said Eduardo A.
