Project description:Single-molecule read technologies allow for detection of epigenomic base modifications during routine sequencing by analysis of kinetic data during the reaction, including the duration between base incorporations at the elongation site (the "inter-pulse duration.") Methylome data associated with a closed de novo bacterial genome of Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Javiana str. CFSAN001992 was produced and submitted to the Gene Expression Omnibus.

Project description:Salmonella enterica variants exhibit diverse host adaptation, outcome of infection, and associated risk to humans. Analysis of 6,335 Salmonella isolates recovered from integrated human-animal surveillance in Emilia Romagna region, Northern Italy, (human population ca 4,500,000), from 2012 to 2017 showed that Salmonella enterica serovar Derby constitutes a swine associated serovar in this epidemiological context while representing also a significant causative agent of human infections. Comparison of the distribution of subtypes of Salmonella Derby from human and swine identified isolates with a distinct PFGE profile that were significantly less isolated in human infections than in swine infections compared to all other subtypes. Here we show that isolates with this PFGE profile form a distinct phylogenetic sub-clade within Salmonella Derby and exhibit a marked reduction in invasion and replication in human epithelial cells but a relatively small reduction in swine epithelial cells, in line with the epidemiological evidence. A single missense mutation in hilD, that encodes the master-regulator of the Salmonella Pathogenicity Island 1 (SPI-1), was identified in this lineage of Salmonella Derby. Since SPI-1 encodes for a primary system of Salmonella invasion into epithelial cells, we investigated the role of the observed mutation in detail. We demonstrated that the missense mutation results in a loss of function of HilD that accounts for the reduced invasion and replication in human epithelial cells while showing a relatively small impact on the interaction with swine cells. This finding is suggestive of a mechanism of invasion alternative to SPI-1 in the Salmonella-swine combination

Project description:Investigation of whole genome gene expression level changes in a Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium UK1 delta-iacP mutant, compared to the wild-type strain. IacP is resoponsible for the secretion of virulence effector proteins via the type III secretion system, thereby contributing the virulence of S. Typhimurium. The mutants analyzed in this study are further described in Kim et al. 2011. Role of Salmonella Pathogenicity Island 1 Protein IacP in Salmonella enterica Serovar Typhimurium Pathogenesis. Infection and Immunity 79(4):1440-1450 (PMID 21263021).
