title: Salmonella Manipulates Autophagy to "Serve and Protect".
abstract: Many intracellular pathogens, including Salmonella typhimurium, trigger autophagy in host cells, which is widely thought to restrict intracellular growth and survival. In this issue of Cell Host & Microbe, Kreibich et al. (2015) demonstrate a role for the autophagic machinery in the repair of damaged Salmonella-containing vacuoles (SCVs).
