Systematic inactivation of pathways involved in DNA alkylation damage repair demonstrated that inactivation of theada ,ogt ,tag ,uvrA , andmfd genes is required to detect aSalmonella enterica virulence decrease. Furthermore, the fitness ofS. enterica , defective in these genes, is lowered only when the bacterium is orally, but not intraperitoneally, inoculated.
