Intestinal cell defense mechanism against bacteria: Molecular mechanism of selected autophagy elucidated

Researchers have now found out how body cells recognize salmonella and render it harmless. Understanding this process at a molecular level is crucial in identifying new targets for treatment. Tropical and sub-tropical countries in particular, where various sub-species of salmonella are common, are experiencing a rapid increase in resistance to antibiotics, with children at greatest risk.
