An Antigenic Basis for Virulence in Strains of Salmonella Typhimurium
نویسنده
چکیده
A study has been made of the antigenic relationships between a virulent and an avirulent strain of Salmonella typhimurium. Evidence is presented which supports the hypothesis that the susceptibility of the mouse to infection by S. typhimurium is due to an antigenic relationship between host and parasite. The antigen shared between host and parasite, appears to be absent or is masked in the avirulent strain.

Introduction: In Iran, invasive nontyphoidal Salmonella (iNTS) disease causes severe bacteremic illness among children <5 years old. The global yearly incidence of iNTS disease in children was reported to be in the 3.4 (range 2.1-6.5) million cases, (overall incidence 49 cases (range 30-94) per 100,000 population), the iNTS case-fatality ratio (CFR) of 20% yielded 681,316 deat...
متن کاملTransduction of virulence within the species Salmonella typhimurium.
Four strains of Salmonella typhimurium avirulent for mice were found to be capable of acting as gene acceptors in transduction experiments. An attempt was made to transduce virulence to three strains, using a typical mouse-virulent strain of S. typhimurium as donor. Two of the strains which are adenine-dependent were successfully made virulent by transduction and simultaneously became adeninein...

Background and Objective: Salmonellosis is an important infectious zoonotic disease that makes it even more significant to identify and control the causative strains. Molecular methods, especially polymerase chain reaction (PCR), for virulence genes can help to quickly and accurately identify Salmonella strains. Accordingly, the purpose of this study was molecular identification based on sivH, ...
متن کاملAvirulence of LT2 strains of Salmonella typhimurium results from a defective rpoS gene.
In order to identify the genetic basis for the attenuation of Salmonella typhimurium LT2 strains, experiments were performed to identify a gene(s) which restores virulence to an avirulent LT2 strain. These and further experiments confirmed that an rpoS mutation is the sole determinant of the attenuation of S. typhimurium LT2.

Plasmids play an important role in the virulence and antibiotic resistance of Salmonella. Salmonella carry plasmids having different size and number. Plasmid profile analysis of single isolates of Salmonella typhimurium and Salmonella enteritidis revealed the presence of 4- plasmid profiles. Salmonella serovars produce several Type III secretions including Sop-E and Sop –B. Soap E is detected b...
