Project description:Salmonella infection is one of the main causes of food-borne diarrheal diseases worldwide. Although most Salmonella infections can be cleared without treatment, some cause serious illnesses that require antibiotic treatment. In view of the growing emergence of antibiotic-resistant Salmonella strains, novel treatments are increasingly required. Furthermore, there is a striking paucity of data on how a balanced human gut microbiota responds to Salmonella infection. This study aimed to evaluate whether a balanced gut microbiota protects against Salmonella growth and to compare two antimicrobial approaches for managing Salmonella infection: bacteriophage (phage) treatment and antibiotic treatment. Anaerobically cultivated human intestinal microflora (ACHIM) is a feasible model for the human gut microbiota and naturally inhibits Salmonella infection. By mimicking Salmonella infection in vitro using ACHIM, we observed a large reduction of Salmonella growth by the ACHIM itself. Treatments with phage and antibiotic further inhibited Salmonella growth. However, phage treatment had less impact on the nontargeted bacteria in ACHIM than the antibiotic treatment did. Phage treatment has high specificity when combating Salmonella infection and offers a noninvasive alternative to antibiotic treatment. IMPORTANCE Antibiotic-resistant bacteria are a global threat. Therefore, alternative approaches for combatting bacteria, especially antibiotic-resistant bacteria, are urgently needed. Using a human gut microbiota model, we demonstrate that bacteriophages (phages) are able to substantially decrease pathogenic Salmonella without perturbing the microbiota. Conversely, antibiotic treatment leads to the eradication of close to all commensal bacteria, leaving only antibiotic-resistant bacteria. An unbalanced microbiota has been linked to many diseases both in the gastrointestinal tract or "nonintestinal" diseases. In our study, we show that the microbiota provides a protective effect against Salmonella. Since phage treatment preserves the healthy gut microbiota, it is a feasible superior alternative to antibiotic treatment. Furthermore, when combating infections caused by pathogenic bacteria, gut microbiota should be considered.

Project description:BACKGROUND & AIMS: The immune system comprises an innate and an adaptive immune response to combat pathogenic agents. The human enteropathogen Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium invades the intestinal mucosa and triggers an early innate pro-inflammatory host gene response, which results in diarrheal disease. Several host factors are involved in the acute early response to Salmonella infection. Transcription factors and transcription co-regulators have an especially important function, because they are required for the expression and synthesis of pro-inflammatory cytokines, chemokines and adhesion molecules. A central transcription factor involved in inflammation is NF-κB, which requires the nuclear protein PARP1 as co-factor for the expression of some of its target genes. Here, we investigated the role of PARP1 during Salmonella infection using a mouse model for Salmonella-induced colitis. METHODS: To study enterocolitis by Salmonella Typhimurium, an established mouse model system, which relies on streptomycin-pretreatment prior to Salmonella infection, was employed. Histopathologic signs of inflammation and cecum colonization at various time-points after infection of wild type and PARP1 knockout mice were analyzed. PARP1 expression in the gut mucosa was studied by quantitative RT-PCR, Western blot and immunofluorescence. Gene expression profiles of infected and control infected mice in the wild type or PARP1 knockout background were obtained by whole mouse genome arrays and confirmed by quantitative RT-PCR.
