Abstract: | Invasion of epithelial cells by Shigella is a critical step in the pathogenesis of bacillary dysentery. In this issue of Cell Host & Microbe, Bergounioux et?al. (2012) uncover a complex interplay of proinvasion, prosurvival, and prodeath signals centered on the activation of calpain protease by the Shigella VirA protein. |
