A team of researchers affiliated with several institutions in Israel has discovered the means by which salmonella bacteria use a metabolite to reprogram the Krebs cycle to promote their own survival. In their paper published in the journal Science, the group describes their study of the reaction of salmonella to the presence of succinate and what it revealed about the role succinate might play in bacterial infections in general. Jason Lynch and Cammie Lesser with Massachusetts General Hospital, have published a Perspectives piece in the same journal issue outlining the work by the team.
