Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi plasmid pRST98 enhances intracellular bacterial growth and S. typhi-induced macrophage cell death by suppressing autophagy
Objectives: Plasmid pRST98 is a hybrid resistance-virulence plasmid isolated from Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi (S. typhi). Previous studies demonstrated that pRST98 could enhance the virulence of its host bacteria. However, the mechanism of pRST98-increased bacterial virulence is still not full...
