Deletion of the lon gene augments expression of Salmonella Pathogenicity Island (SPI)-1 and metal ion uptake genes leading to the accumulation of bactericidal hydroxyl radicals and host pro-inflammatory cytokine-mediated rapid intracellular clearance

In the present study, we characterized the involvement of Lon protease in bacterial virulence and intracellular survival in Salmonella under abiotic stress conditions resembling the conditions of a natural infection. Wild type (JOL401) and the lon mutant (JOL909) Salmonella Typhimurium were exposed...
