Multilocus Sequence Typing of the Clinical Isolates of Salmonella Enterica Serovar Typhimurium in Tehran Hospitals
Background: Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium is one of the most important serovars of Salmonella enterica and is associated with human salmonellosis worldwide. Many epidemiological studies have focused on the characteristics of Salmonella Typhimurium in many countries as well as in Asia. This study was conducted to investigate the genetic characteristics of Salmonella Typhimurium using m...
متن کاملVariation in antigen-antibody affinity among serotypes of Salmonella O4 serogroup, determined using specific antisera.
Serotyping is widely used for typing Salmonella during surveillance, and depends on determining the lipopolysaccharide (LPS) O-antigen and the flagellar protein (H-antigens) components. As the O-antigen is highly variable, and structurally unique to each serotype, we investigated the binding affinities of LPS from Salmonella serotypes of O4 serogroup with specific anti-antigen serum via immunob...
متن کاملO-antigen-negative Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium is attenuated in intestinal colonization but elicits colitis in streptomycin-treated mice.
Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is a major constituent of the outer membrane and an important virulence factor of Salmonella enterica subspecies 1 serovar Typhimurium (serovar Typhimurium). To evaluate the role of LPS in eliciting intestinal inflammation in streptomycin-treated mice, we constructed an O-antigen-deficient serovar Typhimurium strain through deletion of the wbaP gene. The resulting strai...
متن کاملTriclosan resistance in Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium.
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to characterize the mechanisms of resistance to triclosan in Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium. METHODS Mutants resistant to triclosan were selected from nine S. enterica serovar Typhimurium strains. Mutants were characterized by genotyping, mutagenesis and complementation of fabI and analysis of efflux activity. Fitness of triclosan-resistant mutant...
متن کاملCapsular Vi polysaccharide antigen in Salmonella enterica serovar typhi isolates.
Characterization of Salmonella enterica Serovar Typhi isolates for their Vi capsular polysaccharide antigen-related genetic sequences is desirable to define the role of isolates lacking such sequences in differential replication at unusual sites, including those coinfected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Infection with Vi-negative strains might produce typhoid fever among those immuniz...
