Avirulence of LT2 strains of Salmonella typhimurium results from a defective rpoS gene.

چکیده
In order to identify the genetic basis for the attenuation of Salmonella typhimurium LT2 strains, experiments were performed to identify a gene(s) which restores virulence to an avirulent LT2 strain. These and further experiments confirmed that an rpoS mutation is the sole determinant of the attenuation of S. typhimurium LT2.

Characterization of the RpoS status of clinical isolates of Salmonella enterica.
The stationary-phase-inducible sigma factor, sigma(S) (RpoS), is the master regulator of the general stress response in Salmonella and is required for virulence in mice. rpoS mutants can frequently be isolated from highly passaged laboratory strains of Salmonella: We examined the rpoS status of 116 human clinical isolates of Salmonella, including 41 Salmonella enterica serotype Typhi strains is...
متن کاملFusidic acid-resistant mutants of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium with low fitness in vivo are defective in RpoS induction.
Mutants of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium resistant to fusidic acid (Fusr) have mutations in fusA, the gene encoding translation elongation factor G (EF-G). Most Fusr mutants have reduced fitness in vitro and in vivo, in part explained by mutant EF-G slowing the rate of protein synthesis and growth. However, some Fusr mutants with normal rates of protein synthesis still suffer from red...

ABSTRACT Background and Objective: Several studies have shown the antimicrobial activity of lactobacilli against Salmonella enterica (serotype typhimurium). The aim of this study was to evaluate the inhibitory potential of metabolites produced by probiotic culture of Lactobacillus casei against S. typhimurium and its impact on S. ty...
متن کاملSalmonella typhimurium LT2 strains which are r- m+ for all three chromosomally located systems of DNA restriction and modification.
We describe the derivation of two strains of Salmonella typhimurium LT2 which are r- m+ for all three of the known chromosomal genes for the restriction and modification of DNA, hsdLT, hsdSA, and hsdSB; the strains were designated LB5000 and LB5010. LB5000 is a smooth derivative sensitive to phage P22; LB5010 is a galE strain sensitive to phage P1.
متن کاملComparison of DeltarelA strains of Escherichia coli and Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium suggests a role for ppGpp in attenuation regulation of branched-chain amino acid biosynthesis.
The growth recovery of Escherichia coli K-12 and Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium DeltarelA 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...
