Salmonella's virulence factors and antibiotic treatments both contribute to the pathogen's expansion by depleting butyrate-producing Clostridia. This depletion increases epithelial oxygenation, which in turn facilitates the aerobic growth of Salmonella.
Virulence factors genes were annotated using the Virulence Factors Database (VFDB) (VFDB)
