Establishment of In Vivo Mouse Models to Study Salmonella-Induced Chronic Infection and Gastrointestinal Cancer.

Salmonella infection increases the risk of chronic diseases, e.g., inflammatory bowel diseases, colon cancer, and gallbladder cancer. However, the mechanisms leading to the development of these conditions are still not completely understood. Here, we describe the methods to establish in vivo mouse models to study Salmonella-induced chronic infection and colon cancer. These models will allow us to investigate the initiation and progression of diseases.
