genus harbors five Type VI Secretion System (T6SS) gene clusters. The T6SS encoded in SPI-6 (T6SS) contributes to Typhimurium colonization of chickens and mice, while the T6SS encoded in SPI-19 (T6SS) of Gallinarum contributes to chicken colonization. Interestingly, the T6SS of Gallinarum complemented the defect in chicken colonization of a Typhimurium strain that lacks the T6SS, suggesting that both T6SSs are interchangeable. Here we show that the transfer of Gallinarum T6SS complemented the defect in mice colonization of a Typhimurium ΔT6SS strain, indicating that both T6SSs are functionally redundant during host colonization.
该属包含五个类型 VI 分泌系统(T6SS)基因簇。SPI-6 编码的 T6SS(T6SS)有助于鼠伤寒沙门氏菌对鸡和小鼠的定殖,而 Gallinarum 编码的 SPI-19(T6SS)有助于鸡的定殖。有趣的是,Gallinarum 的 T6SS 弥补了缺乏 T6SS 的鼠伤寒沙门氏菌菌株在鸡定殖中的缺陷,表明这两种 T6SS 是可互换的。在这里,我们表明 Gallinarum 的 T6SS 的转移弥补了鼠伤寒沙门氏菌 ΔT6SS 菌株在小鼠定殖中的缺陷,表明这两种 T6SS 在宿主定殖过程中具有功能冗余性。
