Evasion of MAIT cell recognition by the African Salmonella Typhimurium ST313 pathovar that causes invasive disease

Mucosal-associated invariant T (MAIT) cells are innate T lymphocytes activated by bacteria that produce vitamin B2 metabolites. Mouse models of infection have demonstrated a role for MAIT cells in antimicrobial defense. However, proposed protective roles of MAIT cells in human infections remain unpr...
