Proteome analysis of serovars Typhimurium and Pullorum of Salmonella enterica subspecies I.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Salmonella enterica subspecies I includes several closely related serovars which differ in host ranges and ability to cause disease. The basis for the diversity in host range and pathogenic potential of the serovars is not well understood, and it is not known how host-restricted variants appeared and what factors were lost or acquired during adaptations to a specific environment. Differences apparent from the genomic data do not necessarily correspond to functional proteins and more importantly differential regulation of otherwise identical gene content may play a role in the diverse phenotypes of the serovars of Salmonella.

Results

In this study a comparative analysis of the cytosolic proteins of serovars Typhimurium and Pullorum was performed using two-dimension
