Where this comes from

Abstract

Replication inside macrophages is crucial for systemic dissemination of <i>Salmonella</i> in hosts. In a <i>Nature Communications</i> article, Jiang et al. show that <i>Salmonella</i> stimulates glycolysis and represses serine synthesis in macrophages, leading to accumulation of host glycolytic intermediates that the bacteria use as carbon source and as cues for its replication.
