    Brucella abortus nicotinamidase (PncA) contributes to its intracellular replication and infectivity in mice (2004)

    Notizen: Brucella spp. are facultative intracellular pathogens that have the ability to survive and multiply in professional and non-professional phagocytes, and cause abortion in domestic animals and undulant fever in humans. The mechanism and factors of virulence are not fully understood. Nicotinamidase/pyrazinamidase mutant (pncA mutant) of Brucella abortus failed to replicate in HeLa cells, and showed a lower rate of intracellular replication than that of wild-type strain in macrophages. Addition of nicotinic acid, but not nicotinamide, into medium supported intracellular replication of pncA mutant in HeLa cells and macrophages. The pncA mutant was not co-localizing with either late endosomes or lysosomes. The B. abortus virB4 mutant was completely cleared from the spleens of mice after 4 weeks, while the pncA mutant showed a 1.5-log reduction of the number of bacteria isolated from spleens after 10 weeks. Although pncA mutant showed reduced virulence in mice and defective intracellular replication, its ability to confer protection against the virulent B. abortus strain 544 was fully retained. These results suggest that PncA does not contribute to intracellular trafficking of B. abortus, but contributes to utilization of nutrients required for intracellular growth. Our results indicate that detailed characterizations of the pncA mutant may help the improvement of currently available live vaccines.

    Passage in mice causes a change in the ability of Salmonella enterica serovar Oranienburg to survive NaCl osmotic stress: resuscitation from the viable but non-culturable state (2002)

    Notizen: An outbreak caused by dried processed squids contaminated with Salmonella Oranienburg occurred in Japan in 1999. Isolates obtained from the causative food were resistant to NaCl osmotic stress, but isolates from the patients were sensitive to NaCl. Although strains from both sources were almost identical in their virulence in mice, a NaCl-resistant strain from food (Sa9911T) became NaCl-sensitive after passage in mice and a NaCl-sensitive strain from one patient (Sa99004) retained NaCl sensitivity after such passage. When dried squid was contaminated experimentally with both strains during processing, only Sa9911T was recovered directly from the final product. Nevertheless, the viability of the Sa99004 cells was over 90% found by fluorescent staining. We suggested that Sa99004 might become viable but non-culturable (VNC) by NaCl stress. This hypothesis was confirmed by resuscitation by efficient enrichment. We concluded that VNC S. Oranienburg would be potentially dangerous contaminants of NaCl-preserved foods and that measures to ensure their detection should be taken at the time of food inspection.

    Structural and sequence diversity of the pathogenicity island of uropathogenic Escherichia coli which encodes the USP protein (2001)

    Notizen: A total of 321 uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) strains and 12 strains of E. coli isolated from stool samples of healthy individuals, which were previously shown to be positive in colony hybridization test using the usp (encoding for the uropathogenic-specific protein) DNA probe, were examined by PCR amplification to determine the size of the usp gene and the pathogenicity island (PI). Three types of size variation were observed for the usp gene and four types for the PI. Sequencing analysis of the PIs from seven representative strains (six UPEC and one from a normal healthy individual) revealed that the usp genes can be classified into two groups, each having different sequences in the 3′-terminal region. The peptides encoded by the three open reading frames (ORFs) downstream of usp had identical 23 amino acid residues in the C-terminal region. The subregion encoding these small ORFs has a mosaic structure constituted of six segments. The positions of these segments vary from strain to strain, and in some strains, two to four segments are deleted. This indicates that rearrangements occur frequently in this region and the mosaic arrangement apparently contributes to the size variation observed in the PCR examination of the usp genes and PIs.

    Surface antigen, SpaA, of Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae binds to Gram-positive bacterial cell surfaces (2000)

    Notizen: In a previous study, we isolated the spaA gene encoding the surface protective antigen A, SpaA, of Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae, and found that the N-terminal region of SpaA was responsible for protective immunity against erysipelas and that the C-terminal region contained eight repeat units consisting of 20 amino acids comprising the binding domain on the Erysipelothrix cell surface. In this study, using recombinant SpaA proteins, we showed that the repeat region bound to the cell surfaces of various Gram-positive bacterial cells, SpaA was a membrane-associated protein, this association depended on the interaction with choline residues in teichoic acid, and SpaA bound to lipoteichoic acid (LTA) of Bacillus subtilis and Staphylococcus aureus. These results showed that LTA was required for the surface association of SpaA in E. rhusiopathiae and that such an association might be common among Gram-positive bacterial cells. We suggested that an LTA–SpaA complex might have an important role in the E. rhusiopathiae infection process.
