Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium (S. Typhimurium) is a facultative pathogen that uses complex
mechanisms to invade and proliferate within mammalian host cells. To investigate possible
contributions of metabolic processes to virulence in S. Typhimurium grown under conditions known to
induce expression of virulence genes, we used a metabolomics-driven systems biology approach
coupled with genome-scale modeling. First, we identified distinct metabolite profiles associated with
bacteria grown in either rich or virulence-inducing media and report the most comprehensive coverage
of the S. Typhimurium metabolome to date. Second, we applied an omics-informed genome-scale
modeling analysis of the functional consequences of adaptive alterations in S. Typhimurium metabolism
during growth under our conditions. Modeling efforts highlighted a decreased cellular capability to
