HtpG contributes to Salmonella Typhimurium intestinal persistence in pigs

Abstract: Salmonellaenterica subspecies enterica serovar Typhimurium (Salmonella Typhimurium) contamination of pork, is one of the major sources of human salmonellosis. The bacterium is able to persist and hide in asymptomatic carrier animals, generating a reservoir for Salmonella transmission to other animals and humans. Mechanisms involved in Salmonella persistence in pigs remain poorly understood. In the present study, we demonstrate that the SalmonellahtpG gene, encoding a homologue of the eukaryotic heat shock prot… Show more

“…As observed for certain pathogenic E. coli strains, Hsp90 participates in the virulence of other pathogenic bacteria, including Salmonella typhimurium (125), Edwardsiella tarda (126), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (127), and the phytopathogenic bacteria Xanthomonas albilineans (128). However, the molecular mechanism for Hsp90 in these processes is still unknown.…”

“…S. typhimurium infection in pigs must not be underestimated, since it can cause enterocolitis, but it can also persist asymptomatically, making the pig an important reservoir of the pathogen, reducing productivity and average daily gain [4,5]. In the latter case, S. typhimurium colonizes the gastrointestinal tract of the pig in a persistent and chronic way and, during periods of stress, this asymptomatic colonization often flares up [6]. The most dangerous situations are during transport and at the slaughterhouse, where the spread of this pathogen is amplified and the contamination of food through fecal matter becomes the main route of transmission to humans [7,8].…”

“…In E. coli, the absence of Hsp90 (HtpG) leads to slight effects at very high temperature (Bardwell and Craig, 1988;Grudniak et al, 2013;Press et al, 2013;Thomas and Baneyx, 2000). In addition, Hsp90 participates in bacterial immunity via the CRISPR system (Yosef et al, 2011), in the virulence of some bacteria like extraintestinal pathogenic E. coli strains, Edwardsiella tarda, or Salmonella typhimurium and plays a role in the biosynthesis of antibiotic and toxins (Dang et al, 2011;Garcie et al, 2016;Verbrugghe et al, 2015;Vivien et al, 2005). However, the precise function of Hsp90 in virulence, i.e., the client proteins involved, is unknown.…”
