Transcription of the stationary-phase sigma factor RpoS of Salmonella typhi increased in the macrophage. A single rpoS mutant of S. typhi was constructed to analyze the role of RpoS in intracellular multiplication of the bacterium and host cell killing. This mutant was sensitive to starvation, low pH and hydrogen peroxide; however, it could still multiply inside resting macrophages and was less cytotoxic than the wild-type strain. Therefore, S. typhi might produce RpoS-dependent factors which could contribute to host cell death.
伤寒沙门氏菌的稳定期σ因子RpoS在巨噬细胞中的转录增加。构建了一株伤寒沙门氏菌的rpoS单突变体,以分析RpoS在该细菌细胞内增殖及杀伤宿主细胞中的作用。该突变体对饥饿、低pH值和过氧化氢敏感;然而,它仍能在静息巨噬细胞内增殖,且细胞毒性比野生型菌株小。因此,伤寒沙门氏菌可能产生依赖RpoS的因子,这些因子可能导致宿主细胞死亡。
