Single nucleotide polypmorphisms of associated with adherence and biofilm formation by serovars of Free

Abstract

Type 1 fimbriae produced by serovars of are characterized by their ability to agglutinate guinea pig erythrocytes in the absence of -mannose but not in its presence. The FimH protein is the adhesin that mediates this reaction; it is distinct from the major fimbrial protei.n (FimA) that composes the fimbrial shaft. Avian-adapted serovars of produce non-haemagglutinating fimbriae that have been reported to mediate adherence to avian cells. A single amino acid substitution is present in the FimH adhesin of these strains compared to that of a Typhimurium isolate. Also, previous studies have shown that single nucleotide polymorphisms in two strains of the Typhimurium alter the binding specificity. We therefore investigated the allelic variation of from a range of serotypes (both host-adapted and non-host-adapted) and isolates of . Most FimH adhesins mediated the mannose-sensitive haemagglutination of guinea pig erythrocytes, but many did not facilitate adherence to HEp-2 cells. A small number of isolates also produced fimbriae but did not mediate adherence to either cell type. Transformants possessing cloned genes exhibited a number of different substitutions within the predicted amino acid sequence of the FimH polypeptide. No identical FimH amino sequence was found between strains that adhere to erythrocytes and/or HEp-2 cells and those produced by non-adherent strains. FimH-mediated adherence to HEp-2 cells was invariably associated with the ability to form biofilms on mannosylated bovine serum albumin.
