Salmonella produce microRNA-like RNA fragment Sal-1 in the infected cells to facilitate intracellular survival

Abstract Salmonella have developed a sophisticated machinery to evade immune clearance and promote survival in the infected cells. Previous studies were mostly focused on either bacteria itself or host cells, the interaction mechanism of host-pathogen awaits further exploration. In the present study...

description Abstract Salmonella have developed a sophisticated machinery to evade immune clearance and promote survival in the infected cells.
