Infection of Caenorhabditis elegans by Salmonella typhi Ty2

Several serovars of Salmonella infect and kill the nematode C. elegans. However, here we report that Salmonella typhi Ty2, a representative strain of this human pathogen, readily infects the intestinal lining of C. elegans without significantly affecting its viability. Our observation suggests exten...
