Impaired host defense against Sporothrix schenckii in mice with chronic granulomatous disease.

abstract：:Salmonella infections continue to cause substantial morbidity and mortality throughout the world. However, recent discoveries and new paradigms promise to lead to novel strategies to diagnose, treat, and prevent Salmonella infections. This review provides an update of the Salmonella field based on oral presentations g...
