摘要

Salmonella is one of the major pathogens responsible for foodborne illnesses worldwide, characterized by diverse serotypes and a broad host range. As an intracellular bacterium, Salmonella invades host cells and establishes a protected niche known as the Salmonella-containing vacuoles (SCVs), which provide a suitable environment for intracellular survival. Rab GTPases, key regulators of intracellular membrane trafficking, play a crucial role in the biogenesis and dynamics of SCVs. Through its type III secretion systems (T3SSs), Salmonella delivers a repertoire of effector proteins into host cells, which modulate the activity of Rab GTPases and alter membrane trafficking to facilitate SCVs formation and maintenance. This review summarizes recent advances in understanding how Salmonella effectors manipulate Rab GTPases to promote intracellular survival and evade host innate immune responses.
