In vitro Susceptibility Study of Salmonella typhimurium Mutant to Stress Factors
ABSTRACT Background and Objective: In this study, we compared the susceptibility of Salmonella typhimurium phoP mutant and its parent to stress conditions that the pathogen may encounter in a host. Methods: For this purpose, we used the phoP deletion mutant constructed in our previous study. In order t...
متن کاملBile-salt-mediated induction of antimicrobial and bile resistance in Salmonella typhimurium.
By DNA microarray, the Salmonella typhimurium marRAB operon was identified as being bile-activated. Transcriptional assays confirm that marRAB is activated in the presence of bile and that this response is concentration-dependent. The bile salt deoxycholate is alone able to activate transcription, while there was no response in the presence of other bile salts tested or a non-ionic detergent. D...
متن کاملRpoS and PmrA Induced Resistance to Polymyxin B is Independent of arnT Expression in Pseudomonas aeruginosa
Adaptive resistance of Pseudomonas aeruginosa to polymyxin B, a drug of last resort, is an emerging problem worldwide. The purpose of this study was to better understand the mechanism of transcriptional regulation of polymyxin B resistance in P. aeruginosa. One proposed regulatory pathway involved RpoS-activated PmrA which then activates ArnT, a lipid membrane modifier. We assessed the contribu...
متن کاملThe Vibrio cholerae ToxR-regulated porin OmpU confers resistance to antimicrobial peptides.
BPI (bactericidal/permeability-increasing) is a potent antimicrobial protein that was recently reported to be expressed as a surface protein on human gastrointestinal tract epithelial cells. In this study, we investigated the resistance of Vibrio cholerae, a small-bowel pathogen that causes cholera, to a BPI-derived peptide, P2. Unlike in Escherichia coli and Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimu...
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...
