Cloning and sequencing of biofilm-associated protein (bapA) gene and its occurrence in different serotypes of Salmonella

Abstract: Aims:  Salmonella spp. has the capability to form biofilm on various surfaces. Biofilm‐associated protein (bapA), a large surface protein has been shown to play a leading role in the development of biofilm in Salmonella. Objective of this study was to investigate the presence of bapA gene in different serotypes of Salmonella spp. and to characterize DNA fragment encoding bapA protein of Salmonella Enteritidis. Methods and Results:  Sixty‐seven Salmonella strains belonging to 34 serovars isolated from diverse s… Show more

“…BapA (386 kDa) and SiiE (595 kDa) are the largest proteins of Salmonella and share the characteristics of having numerous bacterial Immunoglobulin-like domains. The genes encoding these two proteins are highly conserved among Salmonella serotypes ( Biswas et al, 2011 ; Suez et al, 2013 ). BapA has been shown to be involved in biofilm formation in S. Enteritidis.…”

“…The ability of SiiE to bind Ca 2+ ions would confer a rigid rod-like habitus that is required for reach out beyond the LPS and initiates bacterial adhesion to polarized host cells (Wagner et al, 2011; Griessl et al, 2013). BapA is a 386 kDa protein allowing homotypic adhesion during Salmonella biofilm formation and is involved in pathogenesis, especially internalization and invasion of intestinal epithelium (Latasa et al, 2005; Jonas et al, 2007; Biswas et al, 2011; Suez et al, 2013). BapA is secreted extracellularly where it remains in loose association with the bacterial cell surface.…”

“…The expression of bapA is coordinated with that of genes encoding curli fimbriae and cellulose, through the action of csgD [26,39]. The bapA gene is also highly conserved in Salmonella [40]. Salmonella produces an O-antigen capsule coregulated with the fimbria-and cellulose-associated extracellular matrix.…”
