The intestine is a complex, ever-changing environment replete with an array of signaling molecules. To colonize such a complex organ, pathogens have adapted to utilize specific cues from the local environment to intricately regulate the expression of their virulence determinants. Salmonella preferentially colonizes the distal ileum, a niche enriched in the metabolite formic acid. Here, we show that the relatively higher concentration of this metabolite in the distal ileum prevents other signals from repressing Salmonella invasion in that region. We show that imported and unmetabolized formic acid functions as a cytoplasmic signal that competitively binds to HilD, the master transcriptional regulator of Salmonella invasion, thus preventing repressive fatty acids from binding to the protein. This results in an increased lifetime of HilD and subsequent derepression of invasion genes. This study demonstrates an important mechanism by which Salmonella utilizes competition among signals in the gut to its advantage as a pathogen.
