Salmonella General Characteristics
Gm - rod
Non-spore forming
Motile
Different serotype
Salmonella ALET
Facultative anaerobe
Facultative intracellular
Gastrointestinal tract
Ingestion, Inhalation, Contact
Salmonella species
Salmonella bongori
Salmonella enterica
Salmonella enterica subspecies
enterica
salamae
arizonae
diarizonae
houtenae
indica
In addition to species and subspecies there are how many serovares of salmonella?
2400
Kaufmann-white classification scheme of Salmonella
Somatic antigen - O - cell wall
Flagellar antigens - H antigens
Capsule antigens - K antigens (one type Vi)
Salmonella enterica, subspecies enterica serotype Typhimurium
salmonella typhimurium = typhoid fever
Salmonella generalists are
Broad host range, most serotypes
generally diarrhea
can progress to bacteremia/septicemia (children/elderly)
Salmonella specialists are
often no diarrhea
usually systemic disease- malaise/fever/less diarrhea
Salmonella host adapted serotypes
Typhi - humans/drimates
Dublin - cattle
Cholerasuis - pigs
Gallinarum - poultry
Abortus ovis - sheep
abortus equi - horse
systemic disease/ no diarrhea
Salmonella surface virulence factors
Capsule
LPS
Adhesins - fimbriae/pili - Pef, Agf, Lpf, ShdA
Flagella
Siderophores
Salmonella siderophores
binds Fe
accine against Newport siderophore receptor and porin
Salmonella secreted virulence factors
Pathogenicity islands - confer virulence, chromosomal DNA w/ different G/C content
Salmonella pathogenicity islands
Type III secretion systems
Salmonella pathogenicity island SPI1 and SPI2
Salmonella SPI 1 and SPI2 function
SPI invasion - changes host membrane structure
SPI2 survival in macrophage
SPI API2 and Type III secretion systems function how
inserts into host cell membrane and injects substances into host cell.
Salmonella invasion process
invade/cross epithelium, invade lamina propria, inflammation, neutrophils and macrophages phagocytize, spread to lympahtic/circulatory system, infect liver, spleen, lungs, kidneys, joints, heart, brain
Salmonella diarrhea mechanism
damage via inflammation, exudation ( neutrophils, and protein-rich fluid)
Mucosal destruction - malabsorption - decreased Na absorption, damage villi (blunting)
Clinical signs of Salmonella (generalists)
Diarrhea
dehydration
pyrexia, depression, anorexic, tenesmus
Clinical signs of Salmonella ( Specialists)
Pyrexia
Anorexia
Depression
NO DIARRHEA
widespread dissemination
Salmonella in Adult Dairy Cattle
Dublin/Newport
mostly parturient dairy cattle
systemic disease with diarrhea/abortion
Salmonella Adult Dairy Cattle abortion characteristics
bacteremia/infection of placenta/fetus
Bacteremia/endotoxemia leading to PGF2a
PGF2a characteristics
lysis of corpus luteum - abortion in 2 - 3 days.
Salmonella Avian Infection characteristics
Salmonella gallinarum and Salmonella Pullarum
Salmonella Gallinarum and Salmonella Pullarum characteristics
largely eliminated by vax and eradication programs, septicemia in turkeys and chickens, generalist serovars
Avian Salmonella infection transmission direction
vertical with Enteritidis, Typhimurium, Heidelberg
Salmonell spp diagnosis, treatment and prevention
culture (days to separate path from feces)
Supportive care/antibiotics
Vaccination (CM immunity critical), Sanitation.
Salmonella induced enterocolitis
2nd leading cause of Human food-borne bacterial illness. 1st leading cause of death to food borne illness
Animals at high risk of Salmonella
Equine surgery patients
Parturient Dairy cattle
Concurrent with other pathogen:Immunodeficiency
Diabeteis, Cancer, Corticosteroids
Salmonella summary
Fecal-oral
in environment for years
Intestinal - generalist
Systemic - Host adapted
Animals can be carriers
Yersinia spp General Characteristics
Gram-negative rod
Non-spore forming
Motile except Y. pestis
Yersinia spp General ALET
Facultative Anaerobe
Facultative Intracellular
Disseminated Infection, GI
Y. pestis - flea bite,inhalation, ingestion.
other Y - ingestion, inhalation, contact
Yersinia pestis disease
plague
Yersinia enterocolitica diseases
Gastroenteritis, septicemia, mesenteric lymphadenitis, domestic animals AND PRIMATES
Yersinia pseudotuberculosis diseases
Gastroenteritis, septicemia, mesenteric lymphadenitis, rodents, birds
Yersinia ruckeri
enteric redmouth disease of salmon
Black Death
Plague
Yersinia pestis
went from rodent transmission to human to human
Black Death transmission vector
Xenopsylla cheopis - oriental rat flea - bacteria block proventriculus, flea hungry, bites more, transmission increases
Yersinia surface virulence factors
YadA - induced at 37C, - covers bacteria and mediates binding to host tissue, inhibits complement
pH6 antigen - adhesion
Ail - attachment/invasion
Invasin - invasion of epithelium (absent in Y. pestis
Yersinia secreted virulence factors
YST - similar to heat stable toxin in E. coli
Yops - actin cytoskeleton - block phagocytosis and macrophage apoptosis (like Salmonella)
Yersinia pestis surface virulence factor
Siderophore
Yersinia pestis secreted virulence factor
Ymt-plasmid encoded phospholipase D
Hms - Hemin storage phenotype - causes blockage of flea proventriculus with biofilm (ECM)
Yersinia pestis Type III secretion system
Not produced at flea body temperature 25C, but at 37C
Yops, actin cytoskeleton- block phagocytosis/macro apoptosis
PLA - discemination of pathogen through host body
Lymphadenitis caused by Y. pestis can cause
lymph nodes to rupture,
Y. pestis diseases
Bubonic plague
Pneumonic plague
Septicemic plague
Y pestis pubonic plague characteristics
transmitted by scratch of flea bite or ingestion of rodents
local lymphadentis
