Salmonella Typhimurium uses smooth swimming to increase invasion in the mammalian gut


ABSTRACT: The enteric pathogen Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium infects humans and animals. Invasion of intestinal epithelial cells is an important step in gut colonization. Both the Salmonella invasion-associated Type III Secretion System 1 (T3SS1) and motility are required for efficient invasion. The master regulator HilD induces expression of T3SS1 and flagella genes, thus coordinating expression of invasion and motility. Here we show that HilD also induces smooth swimming and that this is important for invasion of epithelial cells, in vitro and in vivo. HilD-induced bacteria express the chemotaxis receptor McpC, which suppresses tumbling and increases smooth swimming, even in the absence of exogenous ligands. mcpC is repressed by H-NS binding, which can be displaced by HilD. This is the first time that bacteria have been shown to use the smooth swimming phenotype in order to optimize invasion.
