34
Which t3ss1 proteins can be delivered and activate nlrc4 receptor
Prgj from needle complex
And flagellin can be injected
35
What does this do
Associate with caspase1 and asc protein and allows cleavage Il1b and il18 to active forms by caspases 1
= drives neutrophil response and il18 drives ifny = mac activation
= inflammation
36
Which bacteriophage derived effector protein can some strains have that can activate caspase 1 by unknown mechanism
Sope
37
Which chemoattractant from salmonella induced macrophages causes basolateral influx of neutrophils from circulation
Il8
38
What does hepoxilin hxa3 do instead
Allows migration to the apical/lumen of neutrophils through tj
39
Which effector causes production of hxa3
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
Why would sipA induce it’s own inflammation against salmonella
Thrives in it
41
How can neutrophils bind basolateral through rolling and adhesion
Their B2 integrins
42
What is the hypothesis of watery diarrhoea
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
What is extrusion
Cell mechanism to signal they are dying and other cells induce actomyosin ring releasing dying cell into the lumen
44
Why is this bad
Can cause salmonella escape to lumen, and either infect other cells or exit host in transmission cycle
45
Which amp forms nano nets around salmonella and stops adhesion instead of killing them
Hd6
46
Which illness is there a deficit of this
Ibd crohns
47
Activation of caspases can cause what type of killing of macrophages (inducing the release of more inflammation or killed by neutrophils)
Pyroptosis
48
Which chemokines produced in the nkfb activation pathways eg nod or tlr cause neutrophil recruitment

Il1b
TNFa
49
Which 2 induce ifny macrophage activation pathway
Il12 and 18
50
What from th17 by il23 from nkfb can cause release of amps and lipocallin2
Il22
51
What pathogenicity island important for effector blocks lysosomal trafficking when salmonella inside
SpiC
52
How do typhi cause gallstones
Associated with biofilm formation
53
Other than general gut barrier. Give 2 chemicals form Microbiota needed for colonisation resistance
Bacteriocins - gram-ve rna,dna and protein disruption
Indole - works with scfa to downregulated spi1 gene cluster exp
54
What other things physically stop colonisation
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
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
Chemotaxis, lps genes,
niFe-hydrogenase subunit genes hybA and hybF
FrdA fumarate reductases complex encoding
56
Why would niFe dehydrogenase be needed for early colonisation to overcome cr
Allows to use dihydrogen released from Microbiota femenrtariln as an alternative electron source in anaerobic conditions = promotes growth
57
Is this only relevant before inflammation induced fitness
Yes! Early colonisation before inflammatory help
58
What is the evidence for inflammation being the fitness advantage using spi1/2 mutants
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
What from fermentation by Microbiota can be converted to tetrathionate and give the steps
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
Why does tetrathionate matter in our competition
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
How does il22 from inflammation also cause outcompetition
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
How is host nitrate produced by inflammation
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
Why is this important
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
Why are the aea important
Because they are not used by obligate commensals anaerobes
65
Give a potent poir carbon source only respired during production of alternative resp electron acceptors
Ethanolamine part of lipid membrane shed during epi cell turnover
66
What enhances salmonella fitness through chemotaxis
Flagella motility
67
How does this work
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
Which proteins were crucial in this process when tested mutants in them on mice and nutrient agar plates
Methyl accepting chemotaxis proteins (mcp proteins)
Eg tsr and aer
Mutants had reduced fitness survival and lack of swarming to nitrate/tt
69
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
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
Give some modes of hgt with close contact
Conjugation (exchange plasmids)
Transformation (uptake of naked dna)
71
Which other fermentation product can be used as an alternative carbon source in both aerobic and anaerobic s.tm respiration
1,2 propanediol
72
Fermentation of what produces this
Rhamnose or fucose
73
What gene cluster do they have for degradation of 1,2 propanediol
PduA-X
74
Which aea during inflammation allowed to use this as carbon source under anaerobic conditions
Tetrathionate
75
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
Cytochrome bd oxidase II
76
Why did they find Microbiota needed to be present to generate this for growth advantage
Loss in gf mice showed no advantage
B fragilis and theta did though generate it
77
Explain how epithelial oxidation through antibiotic treatment occurs
Reduced clostridia butyrate production and therefore reduced b-oxidation and need to use glycosylis releasing oxygen
78
How can this provide environment where salmonella grows rapidly just after antibiotic treatment
Have bd cytochrome oxidase II for the use of oxygen as a final electron acceptor (the most efficient way)
79
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
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
What we’re conclusions of this mice model experiment using mutants
Early antibiotic treatment = need oxygenation/low butyrate
Later = need inflammation, dysbiosis and can use both nitrate and bd oxidase for efficient transmission/shedding
81
What was found to bloom in dysbiosis of colitis induced mice (3rd experiment example)
Enterobacteraciae / ecoli
82
Why is this
Formate is found enriched in dysbiotic and inflamed gut
Can use formate oxidation as a growth fitness advantage
83
Where does formate come from which isn’t present in the gf mice model of dss
Microbiota fermentation eg by b theta
84
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
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
What was found the electron acceptor in formate oxidation
Oxygen as aerobic resp was found necessary (cytochrome bd oxidase needed)
(Inflammation is an oxidative state)
86
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
Nitrate
87
What does the spi-7 capsule vi on s typhi prevent
Complement fixation
88
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
When they are expressing spi-2 effectors forming the scv
89

90
Which ecoli strain been proven probiotic for salmonella infections eg via siderophore and Curli ligand
Nissle 1917
91
Which bacterial species important for toxin delivery to kill salmonella via t6ss
Bacteroides
92
What is the evidence from 2 mouse studies that Microbiota are important for cr and reduced inflammation
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
When spi1/2 mutants we’re introduced into il10- mice models of colitis what happened
We’re able to outcompete Microbiota again and overcome cr
Shows inflammation required
94
What is ttrSR
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
What is the ttr BCA cluster for
Encode tetrathionate reductase
