Functional validation of the genetic architecture of «Salmonella» persistence in 129S6 mice and the impact of Ses1 (Nramp1) on the transcriptome of «Salmonella» enteritidis during chronic carriage

Salmonella Typhimurium and Salmonella Enteritidis cause a food-borne disease resulting in gastroenteritis. To study the persistence of Salmonella during the late phase of infection, a mouse model was developed using C57BL/6J mice that clear the bacteria completely from the spleen and lymph nodes wit...

To study the persistence of Salmonella during the late phase of infection, a mouse model was developed using C57BL/6J mice that clear the bacteria completely from the spleen and lymph nodes within 42 days post-infection and 129S6 mice that become chronic carriers. Linkage analyses using a cross between C57BL/6J and 129S6 mice led to the mapping of ten quantitative trait loci, Ses1 to Ses10, affecting Salmonella persistence in mice.

To functionally validate in vivo the interaction between Ses1.2 and Ses4 or Ses5, we created double congenic mice. Bacterial counts in the spleen and the liver demonstrated that both the 129S6.B6-Ses1.2/Ses4 and the 129S6.B6-Ses1.2/Ses5 mice clear Salmonella Enteritidis more efficiently than 129S6 or single congenic mice at day 42 post-infection validating the interaction terms identified by statistical analyses. We also tested the candidacy of Hamp as the gene underlying Ses5 by quantitative complementation test in which we did not detect a significant interaction between Hamp and Ses5. In addition, the effect of Nramp1 on the Salmonella expression of virulence factors, notably mgtB and phoP was investigated ex vivo and in vivo.
