鼠伤寒沙门氏菌ybi H基因缺失株的构建及其生物学特性

【背景】鼠伤寒沙门氏菌(Salmonella typhimurium)是一种重要的人兽共患病原菌,能够引起多种食源性疾病。ybiH基因在鼠伤寒沙门氏菌中的生物学功能尚未确定。【目的】构建鼠伤寒沙门氏菌ybiH基因的缺失株和回补株,研究ybiH基因在鼠伤寒沙门氏菌中的生物学功能。【方法】采用λ-Red同源重组系统构建鼠伤寒沙门氏菌CVCC541 ybiH基因缺失株STΔybiH,同时构建该基因缺失株的回补株STΔybi H/pybiH,并对缺失株STΔybiH的生长特性、运动性、生化特性和毒力情况等生物学特性进行比较分析。【结果】与标准株和回补株相比,缺失株STΔybiH生长速率略快,而其运动性、生化特性、耐药性均无明显差别。但是,ybiH基因的缺失明显提高了鼠伤寒沙门菌对IEC-6细胞和RAW264.7细胞的黏附力和侵袭力,qRT-PCR实验结果显示,缺失株中Inv H基因的表达量明显提高,表明ybiH基因的缺失使鼠伤寒沙门氏菌的侵袭力也有所提高。此外,在胞内存活实验中,标准株与缺失株在胞内的增长率变化不明显,表明ybiH基因的缺失对沙门氏菌在RAW 264.7细胞中存活的影响不大。【...

Susceptibility of Salmonella typhimurium and Salmonella typhi to oxygen metabolites

Abstract The susceptibility of Salmonella typhimurium LT2 and of S. typhi 1079 to oxygen metabolites were compared. S. typhimurium LT2 and S. typhi 1079 were killed to an equal extent (about 40%) by the xanthine-xanthine oxidase (200 mU/ml) system. Among the various scavengers of oxygen metabolites, catalase alone inhibited the killing of S. typhimurium LT2 and S. typhi 1079 by the xanthine-xanthine oxidase system, indicating that hydrogen peroxide contributed to the killing of Salmonellae . The respiratory burst of murine macrophages was efficiently triggered by the ingestion of S. typhimurium LT2, S. typhimurium SL1102, and S. typhi 1079 and all to the same extent. However, in the range of the concentration of hydrogen peroxide produced by murine macrophages, neither S. typhimurium LT2 nor S. typhi 1079 were killed. Only S. typhimurium SL1102, a rough mutant of S. typhimurium LT2, was markedly susceptible under these conditions. The findings suggest that both S. typhimurium LT2 and S. typhi 1079 are resistant to oxygen-dependent killing mechanisms.     

Genetic variability among archival cultures of Salmonella typhimurium

The existence in our laboratory of over 10000 Salmonella typhimurium LT2 cultures sealed in agar stab vials for 33-46 years offers an opportunity for evolutionary and mutational studies. In each of 77 vials examined, 10(3)-10(5) colony forming units per vial were recovered (less than 0.01% of the original population) even after decades of undisturbed storage. Considerable genetic variability was observed in these populations. Three genetic variables, chromosome fragment size as determined by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis, extensive mutational reversions from nutritional auxotrophy to prototrophy, and differences in protein content as assayed by sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, were measured.     

重组质粒在减毒沙门氏菌中的稳定性及其对细菌侵袭力的影响

将含有外源基因的重组真核表达质粒pcDNA3-F和pCI-F转化减毒鼠伤寒门氏菌,探讨质粒类型和插入片段对重组质粒在细菌内的稳定性和细菌侵袭力的影响。结果表明,外源质粒可降低减毒沙门氏菌在体外的增殖能力和侵袭力,也影响细菌在鸡体内的存活力;就质粒类型而言,pCI的影响大于pcDNA3,而以携带外源基因的重组质粒影响较为显著;外源基因插入也影响质粒在宿主菌内的稳定性。提示利用减毒鼠伤寒沙门氏菌为载体传递DNA疫苗研究时,要考虑质粒类型与其在宿主菌内稳定性的关系、携带外源基因重组质粒对载体菌侵袭力和存活力的影响等问题。

Soluble plasma antigen in experimental Salmonella typhimurium infection in mice

Abstract To detect and characterize Salmonella antigen in blood, outbred CF-1 female mice were inoculated intraperitoneally with S. typhimurium LT-2 and blood was assayed by ELISA for Salmonella common structural antigen. Plasma antigen was detectable early in the course of infection and increased in quantity later in the course of illness when animals showed high grade bacteremia and high counts of splenic bacteria. Antigen was associated with a cell-free plasma fraction of blood, passed through filters with cut-offs of 0.2 μ and molecular mass of 1000 kDa, and was enhanced in detectability after heating to 100°C for 15 min. Antigen was concentrated by diluting plasma 1:4 in 0.1 M EDTA, heating to 100°C, and concentrating the supernate with an ultrafiltration membrane with a molecular mass cut-off of 15 kDa. By gel filtration, antigen was associated with a peak at about molecular mass 300 kDa in heated plasma and a peak at about 380 kDa in unheated plasma. These results indicate that murine typhoid infection results in circulating soluble plasma antigen, which is heat-stable with a molecular mass of approximately 300 kDa.

Functional analysis of three amino acid residues of purR repressor, Trp147, Gln-218 and Gln-292 in Salmonella typhimurium

The amber mutation sites of 6 purR(am) mutants were determined by cloning and DMA sequencing. The results showed that the mutations were distributed at three different sites in PurR coding region, G721(→A), C933(→T) and C1155(→T), which respectively turn Trp-147,Gln-218 and Gln-292 of PurR into TAG terminal codon. To determine the effect of the three amino acid residues on regulatory function of PurR protein 5 different kinds of tRNA suppressor genes, Su3, Su4, Su6, Su7 and Su9 were used for creating the PurR protein variants with single amino acid substitution. The results indicated that Cys, Glu, Gly, His and Arg which substituted Trp-147 respectively all could not recover the regulation function of PurR. It confirmed that Trp-147 is a critical amino acid for the PurR function. Gln-292 substituted respectively by the same amino acids also could not recover the PurR function, demonstrating that Gln-292 is also an important amino acid residue in PurR.
