This study reports a microscopy-based screen to find microRNAs (miRNAs) that control infection by Salmonella and Shigella, showing they have different requirements. Two miRNAs decrease Shigella actin motility through N-WASP and one miRNA inhibits Salmonella by targeting TGS2, a regulator of phagolysosomal trafficking.
