Effects of inhibitors of protein, RNA and DNA synthesis on heat-injured Salmonella typhimurium LT2.

چکیده
The role of protein, RNA and DNA synthesis in the repair of thermal injury in Salmonella typhrimurium was investigated. Thermal injury was assessed by the 'minimal medium recovery' system: after heat treatment, higher viable counts are obtained on minimal-medium agar than on complex-medium agar, and the ability of heated bacteria to form colonies on complex-medium agar is recovered when they are incubated in liquid minimal medium. This recovery is inhibited by rifampin and chloramphenicol, but not by nalidixic acid. In addition, rifampin causes a loss in viability. Alkaline sedimentation analyses of radioactively labelled DNA showed that hydroxyurea and rifampin, unlike chloramphenicol and nalidixic acid, cause DNA breaks in heated bacteria. The results indicate that rifampin is lethal to heated bacteria and that chloramphenicol, though not lethal, prevents repair of thermal damage.

Requirements of Salmonella typhimurium for recovery from thermal injury.
The heating of Salmonella typhimurium 7136 at 48 C for 30 min produces a population of cells that are incompetent at division on Levine Eosin Methylene Blue Agar containing 2.0% NaCl (EMB-NaCl). When these injured cells were placed in fresh citrate salts medium they recovered, and regained their tolerance to the EMB-NaCl medium and grew out. The addition of the selective inhibitors rifamycin, 5...

The growth recovery of Escherichia coli K-12 and Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium relA mutants were compared after nutritional downshifts requiring derepression of the branched-chain amino acid pathways. Because wild-type E. coli K-12 and S. enterica serovar Typhimurium LT2 strains are defective in the expression of the genes encoding the branch point acetohydroxy acid synthetase II (ilv...
