- Abstract
Salmonella infection is associated with the increased expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase in macrophages and other cells. This review summarizes current knowledge of the molecular mechanisms involved in the induction process, and discusses the functional significance of nitric oxide production in the context of host defense against Salmonella.
