Post‐translational modification of proteins is a widespread mechanism used by both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells to modify the activity of key factors that plays fundamental roles in cellular physiology. This review focuses on how bacterial pathogens can interfere with host post‐translational modifications to promote their own survival and replication.
