Abstract

Highlights: [•] Microgravity modifies microbial physiology, pathogenesis and virulence. [•] Space travel has immunosuppressive effects that increase vulnerability to infections. [•] Pleurodeles waltl is an adequate model for studying immunity under space conditions. [•] Spaceflight is a model of stress with potential societal impact. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
