Identification of Genes Affecting Salmonella enterica Serovar Enteritidis Infection of Chicken Macrophages

ABSTRACT Screening of 7,680 Salmonella enterica serovar Enteritidis mutants for attenuation in a chicken macrophage infection model yielded a series of mutants including several with defects in previously unrecognized Salmonella virulence genes. One of the newly identified genes was the pbpA2 gene, belonging to the penicillin binding protein gene family.
