摘要

We have investigated the in vivo growth kinetics of aSalmonella typhimurium strain (P11D10) carrying a mutation in ssaJ, a Salmonella pathogenicity island 2 (SPI2) gene encoding a component of a type III secretion system required for systemic growth in mice. Similar numbers of mutant and wild-type cells were recovered from the spleens and livers of BALB/c mice up to 8 h after inoculation by the intraperitoneal route. Thereafter, the numbers of wild-type cells continued to increase logarithmically in these organs, whereas those of P11D10 remained relatively static for several days before being cleared. Gentamicin protection experiments on spleen cell suspensions recovered from infected mice showed that viable intracellular wild-type bacteria accumulated over time but that intracellular P11D10 cells did not. Infection experiments were also performed with wild-type and P11D10 cells carrying the temperature-sensitive plasmid pHSG422 to distinguish between bacterial growth rates and killing in vivo. At 16 h postinoculation there were 10-fold more wild-type cells than mutant cells in the spleens of infected mice, but the numbers of cells of both strains carrying the nonreplicating plasmid were very similar, showing that there was little difference in the degree of killing sustained by the two strains and that the SPI2 secretion system must be required for bacterial replication, rather than survival, in vivo. The SPI2 mutant phenotype in mice is similar to that of strains carrying mutations in the Salmonella virulence plasmid spv genes. To determine if these two sets of genes interact together, a double mutant strain carrying SPI2 and spv mutations was constructed and compared with strains carrying single mutations in terms of virulence attenuation. These experiments failed to provide any evidence showing that the SPI2 and spv gene products interact together as part of the same virulence mechanism.
