Abstract

Background

• The increased virulence of Salmonella enterica in extraintestinal infections has been attributed to its ability survive and replicate in macrophage phagosome.
• Salmonella can adapt to low pH and low Mg2+ conditions encountered in the phagosome. ¹
• To counteract the low magnesium conditions in the macrophage phagosome and ensure viability, intracellular polyamine (PA) production is critical. ¹
• Salmonella can synthesize putrescine in addition to other polyamines.
