Differential regulation of enteric and systemic salmonellosis by slyA.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Mutation of slyA, which reduces Salmonella typhimurium virulence in mice, caused only minor attenuation of S. typhimurium virulence in orally inoculated calves. This correlated with modest reductions in intestinal invasion and enteropathogenic responses in bovine ligated ileal loops. slyA appears to regulate virulence genes involved in systemic, but not enteric, salmonellosis.

Characterization of SlyA in Shigella flexneri Identifies a Novel Role in Virulence.
The SlyA transcriptional regulator has important roles in the virulence and pathogenesis of several members of the Enterobacteriaceae family, including Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium and Escherichia coli. Despite the identification of the slyA gene in Shigella flexneri nearly 2 decades ago, as well as the significant conservation of SlyA among enteric bacteria, the role of SlyA in Shig...
متن کاملDifferential regulation of multiple proteins of Escherichia coli and Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium by the transcriptional regulator SlyA.
SlyA is a transcriptional regulator of Escherichia coli, Salmonella enterica, and other bacteria belonging to the ENTEROBACTERIACEAE: The SlyA protein has been shown to be involved in the virulence of S. enterica serovar Typhimurium, but its role in E. coli is unclear. In this study, we employed the proteome technology to analyze the SlyA regulons of enteroinvasive E. coli (EIEC) and Salmonella...
متن کاملNovel haemolysins of Salmonella enterica spp. enterica serovar Gallinarum.
Haemolysins of Salmonella are important due to their probable role in pathogenesis of systemic salmonellosis and use in sub-serovar level typing. The present study was undertaken to determine haemolytic potential of Salmonella Gallinarum strains through phenotypic and genotypic methods. Amplification of haemolysin gene (clyA) and cytolysin gene (slyA) was attempted in order to determine their r...
متن کاملAlternate SlyA and H-NS nucleoprotein complexes control hlyE expression in Escherichia coli K-12
Haemolysin E is a cytolytic pore-forming toxin found in several Escherichia coli and Salmonella enterica strains. Expression of hlyE is repressed by the global regulator H-NS (histone-like nucleoid structuring protein), but can be activated by the regulator SlyA. Expression of a chromosomal hlyE-lacZ fusion in an E. coli slyA mutant was reduced to 60% of the wild-type level confirming a positiv...
متن کاملOral infection with the Salmonella enterica serovar Gallinarum 9R attenuated live vaccine as a model to characterise immunity to fowl typhoid in the chicken
BACKGROUND Salmonella enterica serovar Gallinarum (S. Gallinarum) is the causative agent of fowl typhoid, a severe systemic disease of chickens that results in high mortality amongst infected flocks. Due to its virulence, the immune response to S. Gallinarum is poorly characterised. In this study we have utilised infection by the live attenuated S. Gallinarum 9R vaccine strain in inbred chicken...
