Scientific Abstract
Amino acids such as arginine and proline influence the immune system as well as different microbial organisms. However, the influence of both amino acids on immune defense and microbiota-mediated colonization resistance or on Salmonella virulence is unknown. Therefore, we will characterize a) the influence of arginine-dependent microbiota on Salmonella infections and b) the role of proline in Salmonella virulence and anti-bacterial immune response.
