\n \n \n \nResearchers have identified a mechanism by which multidrug-resistant Salmonella Typhimurium strains evade immune system detection. The strains recently emerged in sub-Saharan Africa and are a major cause of ill-health and death in the region. Harnessing this mechanism may offer a therapeutic strategy to improve immunity
