title: Salmonella's masterful skill in mast cell suppression.
abstract: Salmonella bacteria often cause food-borne diseases. In this issue of Immunity, Choi et al. (2013) demonstrate that the Salmonella Typhimurium-secreted protein tyrosine phosphatase, SptP, suppresses mast cell degranulation, which enables bacterial dissemination.
