A Novel Antisense RNA from the Salmonella Virulence Plasmid pSLT Expressed by Non-Growing Bacteria inside Eukaryotic Cells
Bacterial small RNAs (sRNAs) are regulatory molecules playing relevant roles in response to environmental changes, stressful conditions and pathogenesis. The intracellular bacterial pathogen Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium (S. Typhimurium) is known to regulate expression of some sRNAs during colonization of fibroblasts. Here, we characterize a previously unknown sRNA encoded in the S. T...
متن کاملCharacterization of pUO-StVR2, a virulence-resistance plasmid evolved from the pSLT virulence plasmid of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium.
pUO-StVR2 is a virulence-resistance plasmid which originated from pSLT of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium through acquisition of a complex resistance island, flanked by regions that provide a toxin-antitoxin system and an iron uptake system. The presence of resistance and virulence determinants on the same plasmid allows coselection of both properties, potentially increasing health risks.
متن کاملNon-coding RNA regulation in pathogenic bacteria located inside eukaryotic cells
Intracellular bacterial pathogens have evolved distinct lifestyles inside eukaryotic cells. Some pathogens coexist with the infected cell in an obligate intracellular state, whereas others transit between the extracellular and intracellular environment. Adaptation to these intracellular lifestyles is regulated in both space and time. Non-coding small RNAs (sRNAs) are post-transcriptional regula...
متن کاملCharacterization of three proteins expressed from the virulence region of plasmid pSDL2 in Salmonella dublin.
Infection of both cattle and humans with Salmonella dublin can result in septicemia and death. Like many nontyphoid Salmonella species that cause disease, S. dublin contains a cryptic plasmid (pSDL2) that is required for the full expression of virulence. Transposon mutagenesis of pSDL2 defined a 4.1-kb EcoRI region that is necessary for the development of a systemic infection in BALB/c mice. Th...
متن کاملEfficient mobilization of a resistance derivative of pSLT, the virulence plasmid specific of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium, by an IncI1 plasmid.
pUO-StVR2 is a derivative of pSLT, the virulence plasmid specific of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium, which confers multidrug resistance. This plasmid is widespread among closely related isolates of S. Typhimurium, and often coexists with other plasmids like pStR12. The latter belongs to incompatibility group IncI1, was assigned to ST48 by pMLST (plasmid multilocus sequence typing), and...
