Reactive Persulfides from Salmonella Typhimurium Downregulate Autophagy-Mediated Innate Immunity in Macrophages by Inhibiting Electrophilic Signaling (Cell Chemical Biology)

Khan et al. found that reactive persulfides produced by Salmonella inhibit autophagy-mediated bacterial clearance by regulating electrophilic signaling. These data reveal a pathogenic role of bacteria-derived reactive persulfides via suppression of anti-bacterial autophagy.
