متن کاملSalmonella Typhi and Salmonella Paratyphi A elaborate distinct systemic metabolite signatures during enteric fever
The host-pathogen interactions induced by Salmonella Typhi and Salmonella Paratyphi A during enteric fever are poorly understood. This knowledge gap, and the human restricted nature of these bacteria, limit our understanding of the disease and impede the development of new diagnostic approaches. To investigate metabolite signals associated with enteric fever we performed two dimensional gas chr...
