Infection experiments were performed using Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium (STM) NCTC 12023 strain as WT and isogenic mutant strains (Table 1). Mutagenesis was carried out as described elsewhere45 (link). In short, strains were constructed using λ Red-mediated mutagenesis and the resistance cassette was removed using FLP-mediated recombination. Mutant strains deficient in effector genes harboring plasmids encoding the corresponding effector fused to HaloTag (Table 2) were used for microscopic analysis.
