Salmonella typhimurium ST313 strain D23580 (pictured above in purple) has been linked to highly invasive infections. Unlike other strains that primarily cause gastroenteritis, D23580 often leads to severe and fatal systemic infections, including in the bloodstream. A new study including ASU researchers explores the effects of fluid shear in guiding the pathogen's behavior.
