TLDR
It is shown that Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi, the causative agent of typhoid fever, tightly regulates expression of the invasion-associated type III secretion system (T3SS-1) and thus fails to activate these innate immune signaling pathways.
Abstract
Delivery of microbial products into the mammalian cell cytosol by bacterial secretion systems is a strong stimulus for triggering pro-inflammatory host responses. Here we show that Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi (S. Typhi), the causative agent of typhoid fever, tightly regulates expression of the invasion-associated type III secretion system (T3SS-1) and thus fails to activate these innate immune signaling pathways. The S. Typhi regulatory protein TviA rapidly repressed T3SS-1 expression, thereby preventing RAC1-dependent, RIP2-dependent activation of NF-κB in epithelial cells. Heterologous expression of TviA in S. enterica serovar Typhimurium (S. Typhimurium) suppressed T3SS-1-dependent inflammatory responses generated early after infection in animal models of gastroenteritis. These results suggest that S. Typhi reduces intestinal inflammation by limiting the induction of pathogen-induced processes through regulation of virulence gene expression.

Now you see me, now you don't: the interaction of Salmonella with innate immune receptors

TL;DR: This Review compares and contrast the interactions of S. Typhi and NTS serovars with host innate immune receptors and discusses why the disease manifestations associated with S. typhi infection differ considerably from those associated with the closely related NTSSerovars.

The Pyromaniac Inside You: Salmonella Metabolism in the Host Gut

TL;DR: The anaerobic food chain that characterizes resident gut-associated microbial communities is reviewed along with the winning metabolic strategy Salmonella serovars use to edge out competing microbes in the inflamed intestine.

An Oxidative Central Metabolism Enables Salmonella to Utilize Microbiota-Derived Succinate.

TL;DR: It is shown that inflammation-derived electron acceptors induce a complete, oxidative TCA cycle in S. Typhimurium, allowing the bacteria to compete with the microbiota for colonization and to utilize a variety of carbon sources, including microbiota-derived succinate.

Interactions of Salmonella with animals and plants

TL;DR: The aim of this review is to describe the different stages required for Salmonella interaction with its hosts: attachment to host surfaces; entry processes; multiplication; suppression of host defense mechanisms; and to point out similarities and differences between animal and plant infections.

Non-typhoidal Salmonella Typhimurium ST313 isolates that cause bacteremia in humans stimulate less inflammasome activation than ST19 isolates associated with gastroenteritis.

TL;DR: It is found that representative ST313 isolates invade non-phagocytic cells less efficiently and induce less Caspase-1-dependent macrophage death and IL-1β release than ST19 isolates, suggesting that both phenotypically and at the genomic level ST313 isolate are evolving signatures that facilitate a systemic lifestyle in humans.

Transcriptional analysis of the flagellar regulon of Salmonella typhimurium.

TL;DR: This study examined the transcriptional interaction among the flagellar operons by combined use of Mu d1(Apr Lac) cts62 and Tn10 insertion mutants in the flagllar genes and found that the fliD defect enhanced expression of the class III operons.

A Salmonella inositol polyphosphatase acts in conjunction with other bacterial effectors to promote host cell actin cytoskeleton rearrangements and bacterial internalization.

TL;DR: It is reported here that SopB, a Salmonella inositol polyphosphatase delivered to the host cell by this secretion system, mediates actin cytoskeleton rearrangements and bacterial entry in a Cdc42‐dependent manner.

The Use of Real-Time Reverse Transcriptase PCR for the Quantification of Cytokine Gene Expression

TL;DR: The development of real-time RT-PCR has resulted in an exponential increase in its use over the last couple of years, and the method has undoubtedly become the standard for quantifying cytokine patterns, clarifying many functional properties of immune cells and their associated diseases.

hilA is a novel ompR/toxR family member that activates the expression of Salmonella typhimurium invasion genes

TL;DR: By using a set of lacZY transcriptional fusions to S. typhimurium invasion genes, it is found that hilA activates the expression of invasion genes located on the ‘pathogenicity island’, consistent with the hypothesis that hILA plays a key role in the regulation of Salmonella invasion during infection.

The Salmonella Pathogenicity Island (SPI)-2 and SPI-1 Type III Secretion Systems Allow Salmonella Serovar typhimurium to Trigger Colitis via MyD88-Dependent and MyD88-Independent Mechanisms

TL;DR: S. typhimurium can use two independent mechanisms to elicit colitis in vivo: SPI-1-dependent and MyD 88-independent signaling to epithelial cells and SPI-2-dependent intracellular proliferation in the lamina propria triggering MyD88-dependent innate immune responses.
