Pathogen access to host nutrients in infected tissues is fundamental for pathogen growth and virulence, disease progression, and infection control. However, our understanding of this crucial process is still rather limited because of experimental and conceptual challenges. Here, we used proteomics, microbial genetics, competitive infections, and computational approaches to obtain a comprehensive overview of Salmonella nutrition and growth in a mouse typhoid fever model. The data revealed that Salmonella accessed an unexpectedly diverse set of at least 31 different host nutrients in infected tissues but the individual nutrients were available in only scarce amounts. Salmonella adapted to this situation by expressing versatile catabolic pathways to simultaneously exploit multiple host nutrients. A genome-scale computational model of Salmonella in vivo metabolism based on these data was fully consistent with independent large-scale experimental data on Salmonella enzyme quantities, and correctly predicted 92% of 738 reported experimental mutant virulence phenotypes, suggesting that our analysis provided a comprehensive overview of host nutrient supply, Salmonella metabolism, and Salmonella growth during infection. Comparison of metabolic networks of other pathogens suggested that complex host/pathogen nutritional interfaces are a common feature underlying many infectious diseases. Infectious diseases are a major health problem worldwide. To cause disease, pathogens need to acquire host nutrients for growth in infected tissues and for the expression of virulence factors. In this study, we investigated Salmonella nutrition and growth in a well-characterized mouse model of human typhoid fever. We used a panel of Salmonella mutants with metabolic defects to assess the importance of various nutrient utilization pathways for Salmonella growth. We derived from these experimental data a computational model that predicts nutrient uptake rates, activity of metabolic pathways, and the effects of Salmonella enzyme defects on in vivo growth. The vast majority of these predictions were in close agreement with independent experimental data suggesting the model provided a consistent overview of Salmonella metabolism during infection. The data showed that Salmonella depend on a highly complex diet with many different host nutrients, but each of these nutrients is available in only scarce amounts. To grow and cause disease, Salmonella must simultaneously exploit these various nutrients with versatile degradation pathways. Similar complex pathogen diets might also drive many other infectious diseases.
