Abstract
Recent findings have shed new light on mammalian-cell invasion by Salmonell a. Using a type III secretion system, Salmonella deliver virulence factors into the host cell that directly activate signal transduction pathways, ini tiating cytoskeletal rearrangements and bacterial uptake by a ruffling mech anism.
