During Salmonella Typhimurium infection, C16-carnitine localizes to regions of immune cell destruction, and C16-carnitine acts as a local immunoregulatory molecule that significantly interferes with host immune homeostasis by affecting the number and function of specific immune cell populations, such as T cells and B cells, suggesting that the accumulation of LCACs is part of the pathogen immune evasion strategy [60]
