title: Nitric oxide metabolites in gnotobiotic piglets orally infected with Salmonella enterica serovar typhimurium.
abstract: Reactive NO metabolites play a distinct role in the control of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium (ST; a facultative intracellular pathogen) in susceptible host. A significant increase of nitrite and/or nitrate plasma levels, 3-nitro-tyrosine expression and pathological changes in mesenteric lymph nodes have been observed in gnotobiotic piglets orally infected for 1 d with a virulent strain of ST but not in piglets infected with a rough mutant of ST.
