39
Q

Which effector causes production of hxa3

A

It is an arachidonic metabolite

SipA induced lipid signal cascade , activation of pkc, and release of arachidonic acid from plasma membrane

Converted into hxa3 by 12 lipooxygenase

40
Q

Why would sipA induce it’s own inflammation against salmonella

A

Thrives in it

41
Q

How can neutrophils bind basolateral through rolling and adhesion

A

Their B2 integrins

42
Q

What is the hypothesis of watery diarrhoea

A

Spi1 effector induced inflammation and rapid neutrophil influx (via sipA) causes impaired barrier and leakage of extra vascular fluid

Also neutrophils migration can lead to Cl sexretion by epi cells which causes influx of water for osmolarity

43
Q

What is extrusion

A

Cell mechanism to signal they are dying and other cells induce actomyosin ring releasing dying cell into the lumen

44
Q

Why is this bad

A

Can cause salmonella escape to lumen, and either infect other cells or exit host in transmission cycle

45
Q

Which amp forms nano nets around salmonella and stops adhesion instead of killing them

A

Hd6

46
Q

Which illness is there a deficit of this

A

Ibd crohns

47
Q

Activation of caspases can cause what type of killing of macrophages (inducing the release of more inflammation or killed by neutrophils)

A

Pyroptosis

48
Q

Which chemokines produced in the nkfb activation pathways eg nod or tlr cause neutrophil recruitment

A

Il23 inducing th17 inducing il17= chemokine
Il1b
TNFa

49
Q

Which 2 induce ifny macrophage activation pathway

A

Il12 and 18

50
Q

What from th17 by il23 from nkfb can cause release of amps and lipocallin2

A

Il22

51
Q

What pathogenicity island important for effector blocks lysosomal trafficking when salmonella inside

A

SpiC

52
Q

How do typhi cause gallstones

A

Associated with biofilm formation

53
Q

Other than general gut barrier. Give 2 chemicals form Microbiota needed for colonisation resistance

A

Bacteriocins - gram-ve rna,dna and protein disruption

Indole - works with scfa to downregulated spi1 gene cluster exp

54
Q

What other things physically stop colonisation

A

Carbon source limitation
Iron limitation eg via nissle 1917 (largest siderophore acquisition)
Adhesion competition
and physical adhesion since there’s around 10^11 in colon

55
Q

Which genes found in salmonella crucial for early colonisation in mice- through mice studies with 500 mutants and screened which ones did not survive after mutants made

A

Chemotaxis, lps genes,
niFe-hydrogenase subunit genes hybA and hybF
FrdA fumarate reductases complex encoding

56
Q

Why would niFe dehydrogenase be needed for early colonisation to overcome cr

A

Allows to use dihydrogen released from Microbiota femenrtariln as an alternative electron source in anaerobic conditions = promotes growth

57
Q

Is this only relevant before inflammation induced fitness

A

Yes! Early colonisation before inflammatory help

58
Q

What is the evidence for inflammation being the fitness advantage using spi1/2 mutants

A

Mutants in spi1/2 who cannot induce inflammation themselves werent able to outcompete / grow Microbiota in a dss-colitis mouse model

Less than 1% of colonisers if mutant

90 fold increase in colonisation when compared with wt salmonella

59
Q

What from fermentation by Microbiota can be converted to tetrathionate and give the steps

A

H2s

Converted to thiosulfate by colonic epi cells bc it is toxic

This can react with the migrated chemotaxtic neutrophils via hxa3 ros they release

Causes oxidation of thiosulfate into tetrathionate

60
Q

Why does tetrathionate matter in our competition

A

Used as an alternate electron acceptor in anaerobic conditions , allowing them to grow on poor carbon sources

Tetrathionate more efficient for energy than normal fermentation is = our growth

61
Q

How does il22 from inflammation also cause outcompetition

A

Induces release of amp lipocallin2 which will block iron acquisition of commensals like ecoli but salmonella is immune because they have a modified siderophore (salmochellin)

62
Q

How is host nitrate produced by inflammation

A

Effectors recognised like sopE (nlrp3) can induce release of proinflam ifny (from il18 by caspases) = induces production of NO by inos

Also induced dual oxidase 2 activity forming hydrogen peroxide (ros)

Ros will react with NO to form peroxynitrite which isomerises to nitrate

63
Q

Why is this important

A

Can be also used as alternative electron acceptor (same as tetrathionate but nitrate is higher in hierarchy as has more redox potential) = more energy generated

64
Q

Why are the aea important

A

Because they are not used by obligate commensals anaerobes

65
Q

Give a potent poir carbon source only respired during production of alternative resp electron acceptors

A

Ethanolamine part of lipid membrane shed during epi cell turnover

66
Q

What enhances salmonella fitness through chemotaxis

A

Flagella motility

67
Q

How does this work

A

Sense ligands inducing methylation of a receptor
in inflamed gut like sense new nitrate or tetrathionate and undergo growth blooms through chemotaxis movement by flagella

68
Q

Which proteins were crucial in this process when tested mutants in them on mice and nutrient agar plates

A

Methyl accepting chemotaxis proteins (mcp proteins)
Eg tsr and aer

Mutants had reduced fitness survival and lack of swarming to nitrate/tt

69
Q

How is it suggested HGT can occur during inflammation/Microbiota dysbiosis between commensal enterobacteraciae and pathogenic strains eg ones that are antibiotic resistant or stx

A

Because they are facultative anaerobes meaning they can use nitrate for respiration and out grow in inflammation (seen in conditions like Ibd)

There is therefore more chance they come into close contact with virulent strains

70
Q

Give some modes of hgt with close contact

A

Conjugation (exchange plasmids)
Transformation (uptake of naked dna)

71
Q

Which other fermentation product can be used as an alternative carbon source in both aerobic and anaerobic s.tm respiration

A

1,2 propanediol

72
Q

Fermentation of what produces this

A

Rhamnose or fucose

73
Q

What gene cluster do they have for degradation of 1,2 propanediol

A

PduA-X

74
Q

Which aea during inflammation allowed to use this as carbon source under anaerobic conditions

A

Tetrathionate

75
Q

Which enzyme mutation involved in aerobic respiration alongside mutation in moa (for synthesis of molybdopterin required for enzymes which allow use of tt/nitrate as electron acceptors) proved that it is a combo of aerobic and anaerobic respiration salmonella uses for 1,2 propanediol use

A

Cytochrome bd oxidase II

76
Q

Why did they find Microbiota needed to be present to generate this for growth advantage

A

Loss in gf mice showed no advantage

B fragilis and theta did though generate it

77
Q

Explain how epithelial oxidation through antibiotic treatment occurs

A

Reduced clostridia butyrate production and therefore reduced b-oxidation and need to use glycosylis releasing oxygen

78
Q

How can this provide environment where salmonella grows rapidly just after antibiotic treatment

A

Have bd cytochrome oxidase II for the use of oxygen as a final electron acceptor (the most efficient way)

79
Q

After 4/5 days of antibiotics clostridia became present again but salmonella still grew , how? Also what 2 enzymes required for the most efficient transmission/shedding

A

T3ss induced inflammation was used instead to drive further dysbiosis where eventually butyrate will fall again (depletion of clostridia) - shown via mutants of spi
and grow on both nitrate and bd oxidase II electron acceptors

Nr and cytochrome bd oxidase were required for best transmission (shown through mutants)

80
Q

What we’re conclusions of this mice model experiment using mutants

A

Early antibiotic treatment = need oxygenation/low butyrate

Later = need inflammation, dysbiosis and can use both nitrate and bd oxidase for efficient transmission/shedding

81
Q

What was found to bloom in dysbiosis of colitis induced mice (3rd experiment example)

A

Enterobacteraciae / ecoli

82
Q

Why is this

A

Formate is found enriched in dysbiotic and inflamed gut

Can use formate oxidation as a growth fitness advantage

83
Q

Where does formate come from which isn’t present in the gf mice model of dss

A

Microbiota fermentation eg by b theta

84
Q

METAGENOMICS ANALYSIS EXAMPLE- Which 2 enzymes were necessary (upreg in inflamed gut) for the dysbiotic microbiome in dss-mice (majorly ecoli) to use formate to grow (formate oxidation) and why

A

formate dehydrogenase - allows coupling of electron acceptors (oxygen in this inflammatory environment) to the electron donor(formate)

and cytochrome bd oxidase for aerobic resp

85
Q

What was found the electron acceptor in formate oxidation

A

Oxygen as aerobic resp was found necessary (cytochrome bd oxidase needed)

(Inflammation is an oxidative state)

86
Q

What marker of inflammation (produced from nos reaction with ros) was shown to induce formate dehydrogenase so that ecoli can use formate as an electron donor in inflamed gut

A

Nitrate

87
Q

What does the spi-7 capsule vi on s typhi prevent

A

Complement fixation

88
Q

At which point according to colitis mouse models with s.tm ko of nod1/2 show it’s importance in dampening the survival of s.tm in cells

A

When they are expressing spi-2 effectors forming the scv

89
Q

Which d-alanine importer is important for salmonella survival against neutrophil D amino acid oxidase (DAO) which kills it via oxidative damage

A

DalS

90
Q

Which ecoli strain been proven probiotic for salmonella infections eg via siderophore and Curli ligand

A

Nissle 1917

91
Q

Which bacterial species important for toxin delivery to kill salmonella via t6ss

A

Bacteroides

92
Q

What is the evidence from 2 mouse studies that Microbiota are important for cr and reduced inflammation

A

Study 1-
Low shedder mice were treated with antibiotics and converged to super shedders showing increased colonisation/invasion and increased shedding of salmonella

Study 2-
Antibiotic treatment induced worse salmonella colonisation and inflammation. Even after 3 weeks from the antibiotic treatment this still was the case showing the long lasting effect a dysbiosis can have

93
Q

When spi1/2 mutants we’re introduced into il10- mice models of colitis what happened

A

We’re able to outcompete Microbiota again and overcome cr

Shows inflammation required

94
Q

What is ttrSR

A

Gene cluster of tetrathionate sensor and response regulator encoded by salmonella and some ecoli strains which permit use of tetrathionate as an aea via ttrBCA

95
Q

What is the ttr BCA cluster for

A

Encode tetrathionate reductase
