Abstract

serovar Typhimurium (. Typhimurium) remains an important cause of food-borne infection in the developed world. In order to establish infection within a host, must survive and recover from a range of environmental stresses. . Typhimurium strain SL1344 is among the most extensively studied pathogenic strains, while . Typhimurium phage type DT104 is an important type that has been associated with pandemic spread and a high number of food-borne disease outbreaks over the last two decades. In this study, we have compared the abilities of these two . Typhimurium types to recover from stress exposures commonly encountered in food production, including 685 mM NaCl, pH 3.8, low temperature (6 °C) and combinations thereof. Following removal from prolonged (8 days) stress, DT104 cultures that had been exposed to low temperature, with or without additional stress, resumed exponential growth more rapidly than SL1344 cultures exposed to the same conditions. SL1344 showed higher levels of filamentation than DT104 in response to NaCl exposure at low temperature. Further, SL1344 incurred higher levels of membrane damage in response to elevated NaCl and pH 3.8 at both temperatures compared with DT104. However, both strains recovered normal cell division and membrane integrity within 6 h when all stresses were removed. Expression of the pathogenicity island 1 gene , the first gene in the operon, was monitored using a chromosomal reporter in which expression was driven by the promoter. Recovery of expression was comparable for SL1344 and DT104 exposed to stress at 22 °C. However, DT104 cultures exposed to pH 3.8 or combined NaCl and low-pH stress at low temperature resumed expression more rapidly than SL1344. Both strains recovered maximal levels of expression after 6 h recovery from all stresses and, interestingly, maximal levels of expression were significantly higher in SL1344, consistent with expression in late-exponential, non-stressed SL1344 and DT104 cultures. Together, these data show that . Typhimurium is capable of rapid recovery from environmental and food-related stresses, and give insight into the enhanced ability of DT104 compared with SL1344 to adapt to such stresses, which may contribute to the success of this globally disseminated pathogenic phage type.
