Intestinal pathogens must combat host and microbiota-associated resistance to establish an infection. A new study (Shelton et al.) highlights how Salmonella manipulates the mammalian host to produce anaerobic respiratory electron acceptors, allowing catabolism of propionate and providing a competitive edge to Salmonella residing in the gut.

Article Synopsis
- Lactiplantibacillus species, particularly strains MKMB01 and MKMB02, show promise as probiotics that help regulate the immune response against enteric pathogens like Salmonella enterica typhimurium.
- The study utilized various cell lines and techniques, including qRT-PCR and electron microscopy, to assess the probiotics' effects on immune responses and gut integrity.
- Results indicated that both strains enhanced gut health and reduced inflammation by maintaining tight junction proteins and downregulating pro-inflammatory cytokines, while also improving mitochondrial function impaired by Salmonella.

Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium is a pervasive enteric pathogen and ongoing global threat to public health. Ecological studies in the Salmonella impacted gut remain underrepresented in the literature, discounting microbiome mediated interactions that may inform Salmonella physiology during colonization and infection. To understand the microbial ecology of Salmonella remodeling of the gut microbiome, we performed multi-omics on fecal microbial communities from untreated and Salmonella-infected mice.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how the bacteria serovar Typhimurium reacts to different diets (fibrous vs. high-fat) over time in mice, focusing on its metabolic responses and implications for antibiotic resistance.
- Findings indicate that mice on a high-fat diet showed increased inflammation, affecting gene expression related to respiration and infection phases (early, peak, late), highlighting the bacteria's adaptability.
- The research suggests that understanding these dietary influences on serovar Typhimurium could lead to new therapeutic strategies to combat infections, especially amid rising antibiotic resistance.
