Evolution of pathogenicity islands of Salmonella enterica.

چکیده

Virulence genes located on pathogenicity islands play a crucial role in the pathogenesis of Salmonella enterica infections. Salmonella pathogenicity islands (SPI) contribute to host cell invasion and intracellular pathogenesis. At present, 12 SPI have been described. Although size, structure and function of these SPI, as well as the distribution in Salmonella subspecies and serovars can be markedly different, several common motifs are present among SPI. In this review, the characteristics of SPI are described with focus on the evolution of these genetic elements.

Salmonella pathogenicity islands encoding type III secretion systems.

Salmonella enterica harbours two Salmonella pathogenicity islands (SPIs) each encoding a type III secretion system for virulence proteins. SPI1 is required for invasion, while systemic infections and intracellular accumulation of Salmonella are dependent on SPI2 function. This review will describe and compare the genetic organisation, evolution, regulation and molecular functions of SPI1 and SPI2.

Whole-Genome Comparative Analysis of Salmonella enterica Serovar Newport Strains Reveals Lineage-Specific Divergence

Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Newport has been associated with various foodborne outbreaks in humans and animals. Phylogenetically, serovar Newport is one of several Salmonella serovars that are polyphyletic. To understand more about the polyphyletic nature of this serovar, six food, environment, and human isolates from different Newport lineages were selected for genome compariso...

Differentially Evolved Genes of Salmonella Pathogenicity Islands: Insights into the Mechanism of Host Specificity in Salmonella

BACKGROUND The species Salmonella enterica (S. enterica) includes many serovars that cause disease in avian and mammalian hosts. These serovars differ greatly in their host range and their degree of host adaptation. The host specificity of S. enterica serovars appears to be a complex phenomenon governed by multiple factors acting at different stages of the infection process, which makes identif...

Selective capture of Salmonella enterica serovar typhi genes expressed in macrophages that are absent from the Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium genome.

Thirty-six Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi-specific genes, absent from the Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium genome, that were expressed in human macrophages were identified by selective capture of transcribed sequences. These genes are located on 15 unique loci of the serovar Typhi genome, including Salmonella pathogenicity islands (SPI-7, SPI-8, and SPI-10) and bacteriophages (ST15, S...

Complete Genome Sequence of Salmonella enterica Serovar Typhimurium Strain SO3 (Sequence Type 302) Isolated from a Baby with Meningitis in Mexico

The complete genome of ITALIC! Salmonella entericaserovar Typhimurium strain SO3 (sequence type 302), isolated from a fatal meningitis infection in Mexico, was determined using PacBio technology. The chromosome hosts six complete prophages and is predicted to harbor 51 genomic islands, including 13 pathogenicity islands (SPIs). It carries the ITALIC! Salmonellavirulence plasmid (pSTV).
