Anaerobic growth of Salmonella typhimurium results in increased uptake by Henle 407 epithelial and mouse peritoneal cells in vitro and repression of a major outer membrane protein

Abstract

The growth of Salmonella typhimurium under anaerobic conditions resulted in its greater ability to invade Henle 407 epithelial cells and in greater uptake by mouse peritoneal cells in vitro. Anaerobic growth also resulted in the repression of at least one major outer membrane protein.
