The lpf fimbrial operon mediates adhesion of Salmonella typhimurium to murine Peyer's patches.
We investigated the role of the Salmonella typhimurium fimbrial operon formed by the genes lpfABCDE in infection of mice. A mutant in lpfC, the gene encoding the fimbrial outer membrane usher, had an approximately 5-fold increased 50% lethal dose when administered orally to mice. When mice were infected with a mixture of the lpfC mutant and isogenic wild-type S. typhimurium, the lpfC mutant was...
متن کاملIdentification and sequence analysis of lpfABCDE, a putative fimbrial operon of Salmonella typhimurium.
A chromosomal region present in Salmonella typhimurium but absent from related species was identified by hybridization. A DNA probe originating from 78 min on the S. typhimurium chromosome hybridized with DNA from Salmonella enteritidis, Salmonella heidelberg, and Salmonella dublin but not with DNA from Salmonella typhi, Salmonella arizonae, Escherichia coli, and Shigella serotypes. Cloning and...
متن کاملPhase variation of the lpf operon is a mechanism to evade cross-immunity between Salmonella serotypes.
Conventional wisdom holds that phase variation is a mechanism for immune evasion. However, despite fimbrial phase variation, mice previously exposed to Salmonella typhimurium are protected against a subsequent challenge. We evaluated whether lpf phase variation instead may be a mechanism to evade cross-immunity between Salmonella serotypes. Mice were immunized orally with S. typhimurium aroA mu...
متن کاملRosE represses Std fimbrial expression in Salmonella enterica serotype Typhimurium
The Salmonella enterica serotype Typhimurium (S. typhimurium) genome contains a large repertoire of putative fimbrial operons that remain poorly characterized because they are not expressed in vitro. In this study, insertions that induced expression of the putative stdABCD fimbrial operon were identified from a random bank of transposon mutants by screening with immuno-magnetic particles for li...
متن کاملRegulatory mutants of the tryptophan operon of Salmonella typhimurium.
HE tryptophan ( t rp) operon of Salmonella typhimurium consists of five Tstructural genes regulated as a unit by tryptophan (BLUME and BALBINDER 1966; BAUERLE and MARGOLIN 1966a, 196613; BLUME, WEBER and BALBINDER 1968). The biosynthetic reactions involved and the order of the genes (see Figure 1 ), as well as the regulation of the trp operon have been shown to be identical in Escherichia coli ...
