Transformation of Salmonella typhimurium by Plasmid Deoxyribonucleic Acid

A modified transformation procedure that is effective for the introduction of plasmid deoxyribonucleic acid at high frequency into Salmonella typhimurium, as well as into Escherichia coli, is described. Transformed bacteria acquire a circular deoxyribonucleic acid species having the genetic and molecular characteristics of the transforming plasmid.     

Gene ilvY of Salmonella typhimurium.

Evidence is presented for the existence in Salmonella typhimurium LT2 of the regulatory gene ilv Y. The Escherichia coli K-12 ilvY gene product is shown to complement a S. typhimurium ilvY mutation in vivo.     

Genetic Stability of Various Resistance Factors in Escherichia coli and Salmonella typhimurium

Genetic stability of R factors was studied in Salmonella typhimurium LT-2 and Escherichia coli K-12. It was found that fi(+) R [or R(f)] factors were unstable in LT-2, losing their drug-resistance markers at high frequencies, and were stable in K-12; fi(-) R [or R(i)] factors were stable in both hosts. Both fi(+) and fi(-) R factors were genetically stable also in recombination-deficient mutants of K-12. An fi(+) R factor, which was unstable in S. typhimurium LT-2 wild type, was relatively stable in a recombination-deficient mutant of LT-2. In the spontaneous loss of the drug-resistance markers of fi(+) R factors in LT-2, the markers for sulfanilamide, streptomycin, and chloramphenicol resistance were lost together at high frequencies and the tetracycline marker was retained stably. The remaining drug-resistance markers of the spontaneous segregants of LT-2 were transmissible to K-12 by mixed cultivation, indicating that they were still in the form of R factors.     

Preservation by Freeze-Drying and the Stability of Virulence of Salmonella typhimurium

Differences in the ability to withstand freeze-drying were demonstrated among strains of Salmonella typhimurium. On the average, the number of viable cells in freeze-dried cultures stored at 5 C for 12 to 18 months was approximately one half as large as that found 24 hr after freeze-drying. The viability in samples stored at higher temperatures declined rapidly and was correlated with the dryness of the sample. The virulence for mice of three strains of S. typhimurium did not change appreciably when samples were kept for 1 or 2 years as freeze-dried samples stored at 5 C, or as agar cultures stored at 5 C or at room temperature.     

Growth rate paradox of Salmonella typhimurium within host macrophages.

The growth rate of Salmonella typhimurium U937 within host macrophages was estimated by two independent methods. The extent to which ribosomal protein L12 is acetylated to produce ribosomal protein L7 changes markedly with the growth rate. By this measure, the intracellular bacteria appeared to be growing rapidly. Measurements of viable bacteria, however, indicated that the bacteria were growing slowly. A solution of this apparent growth rate paradox was sought by treating U937 cells infected with S. typhimurium X3306 with ampicillin or chloramphenicol to help determine the number of bacteria that were actively growing and dividing in the intracellular condition. Use of these antibiotics showed that by 2 h after invasion, the intracellular bacteria consisted of at least two populations, one static and the other rapidly dividing. This finding implies that previously described changes in the gene expression of S. typhimurium are important for the survival and/or multiplication of the bacteria within the macrophage.     

Development of a Biosafety Enhanced and Immunogenic Salmonella Enteritidis Ghost Using an Antibiotic Resistance Gene Free Plasmid Carrying a Bacteriophage Lysis System

In the development of genetically inactivated bacterial vaccines, plasmid retention often requires the antibiotic resistance gene markers, the presence of which can cause the potential biosafety hazards such as the horizontal spread of resistance genes. The new lysis plasmid was constructed by utilizing the approach of balanced-lethal systems based on auxotrophic gene Aspartate semialdehyde dehydrogenase (asd). The PhiX174 lysis gene E and λPR37-cI857 temperature-sensitive regulatory system was cloned in the asd gene positive plasmid and this novel approach allowed the production of antibiotic resistance marker free Salmonella Enteritidis (S. Enteritidis) ghost. The immunogenic potential of the biosafety enhanced antibiotic resistance gene free S. Enteritidis ghost was evaluated in chickens by employing the prime-boost vaccination strategy using a combination of oral and intramuscular routes. A total of 75 two-week-old chickens were equally divided into five groups: group A (non-immunized control), group B (intramuscularly primed and boosted), group C (primed intramuscularly and boosted orally), group D (primed and boosted orally), and group E (primed orally and boosted intramuscularly). Chickens from all immunized groups demonstrated significant increases in plasma IgG, intestinal secretory IgA levels, and antigen-specific lymphocyte proliferative response. After a virulent S. Enteritidis challenge, all immunized groups showed fewer gross lesions and decreased bacterial recovery from organs in comparison with the non-immunized control group. Among the immunized chickens, groups B and D chickens showed optimized protection, indicating that the prime-booster immunization with the ghost via intramuscular or oral route is efficient. Taken together, our results demonstrate that an antibiotic resistance gene free lysis plasmid was successfully constructed and utilized for production of safety enhanced S. Enteritidis ghost, which can be used as a safe and effective vaccine against virulent S. Enteritidis infections.

Localization and stoichiometry of hook-associated proteins within Salmonella typhimurium flagella.

The localization of hook-associated proteins (HAP1, HAP2, and HAP3) in Salmonella typhimurium flagella was studied by using specific antibodies together with a second antibody conjugated with colloidal gold. HAP1 and HAP3 were localized at the hook-filament junction, as has been suggested previously. HAP2, however, was localized at the filament tip. This finding supports the idea that HAP2 acts to induce polymerization of endogenous flagellin at the filament tip, and HAP1 and HAP3 are junction proteins to connect hook with filament. Analysis of the protein composition of short flagella from a mutant indicated that a single flagellum contains about 10 to 20 HAP1, 10 to 20 HAP2, and 10 to 40 HAP3 molecules.
