Global transcriptome analysis reveals Salmonella Typhimurium employs nitrate metabolism to combat bile stress

© 2024 Federation of European Biochemical Societies..

Salmonella Typhimurium is an enteric pathogen that is highly tolerant to bile. Next-generation mRNA sequencing was performed to analyze the adaptive responses to bile in two S. Typhimurium strains: wild type (WT) and a mutant lacking cold shock protein E (ΔcspE). CspE is an RNA chaperone which is crucial for survival of S. Typhimurium during bile stress. This study identifies transcriptional responses in bile-tolerant WT and bile-sensitive ΔcspE. Upregulation of several genes involved in nitrate metabolism was observed, including fnr, a global regulator of nitrate metabolism. Notably, Δfnr was susceptible to bile stress. Also, complementation with fnr lowered reactive oxygen species and enhanced the survival of bile-sensitive ΔcspE. Importantly, intracellular nitrite amounts were highly induced in bile-treated WT compared to ΔcspE. Also, the WT strain pre-treated with nitrate displayed better growth with bile. These results demonstrate that nitrate-dependent metabolism promotes adaptation of S. Typhimurium to bile.
