TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a set of guidelines for the selection and interpretation of methods for use by investigators who aim to examine macro-autophagy and related processes, as well as for reviewers who need to provide realistic and reasonable critiques of papers that are focused on these processes.

TL;DR: The newly identified SPI2 locus has a lower G+C content than that of the remainder of the Salmonella genome and is flanked by genes whose products share greater than 90% identity with those of the E. coli ydhE and pykF genes.

TL;DR: Data suggest that, in vivo, one of the functions of the SPI‐2 secretion system is to enable intracellular bacterial proliferation.

TL;DR: Age-dependent epithelial expression of the innate immune receptor TLR5 in the gut of newborn mice selects against the presence of flagellated bacteria and influences microbiota composition throughout life, and the beneficial microbiota in the adult host is shaped during early infancy.

TL;DR: The molecular characteristics of Salmonella adhesins are described and link these features to their multiple functions in infection biology and how they act in concert with other virulence determinants are linked.
