Monophasic expression of FliC by Salmonella 4,[5],12:i:- DT193 does not alter its pathogenicity during infection of porcine intestinal epithelial cells
Non-typhoidal serotypes of Salmonella enterica remain important food-borne pathogens worldwide and the frequent emergence of epidemic strains in food-producing animals is a risk to public health. In recent years, Salmonella 4,[5],12:i:- isolates, expressing only phase 1 (FliC) of the two flagellar antigens, have emerged and increased in prevalence worldwide. In Europe, the majority of 4,[5],12:i:- isolates belong to phage types DT193 and DT120 of Salmonella Typhimurium and pigs have been identified as the reservoir species. In this study we investigated the ability of pig-derived monophasic (4,[5],12:i:-) and biphasic DT193 isolates to invade a porcine intestinal epithelial cell line (IPEC-1) and activate TLR-5, IL-8 and caspases. We found that the 4,[5],12:i:- isolates exhibited comparable adhesion and invasion to that of the virulent S. Typhimurium isolate 4/74, suggesting that these strains could be capable of colonizing the small intestine of pigs in vivo. Infection with 4,[5],12:i:- and biphasic DT193 isolates resulted in approximately the same level of TLR-5 (a flagellin receptor) and IL-8 (a proinflammatory chemokine) mRNA upregulation. The monophasic variants also elicited similar levels of caspase activation and cytotoxicity to the phase-variable DT193 isolates. These findings suggest that failure of 4,[5],12:i:- DT193 isolates to express a second phase of flagellar antigen (FljB) is unlikely to hamper their pathogenicity during colonization of the porcine intestinal tract.
