Dynamics of intracellular bacterial replication at the single cell level.

Abstract

Several important pathogens cause disease by surviving and replicating within host cells. Bacterial proliferation is the product of both replication and killing undergone by the population. However, these processes are difficult to distinguish, and are usually assessed together by determination of net bacterial load. In addition, measurement of net load does not reveal heterogeneity within pathogen populations. This is particularly important in persistent infections in which slow or nongrowing bacteria are thought to have a major impact. Here we report the development of a reporter system based on fluorescence dilution that enables direct quantification of the replication dynamics of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium (S. Typhimurium) in murine macrophages at both the population and single-cell level. We used this technique to demonstrate that a major S. Typhimurium virulence determinant, the Salmonella pathogenicity island 2 type III secretion system, is required for bacterial replication but does not have a major influence on resistance to killing. Furthermore, we found that, upon entry into macrophages, many bacteria do not replicate, but appear to enter a dormant-like state. These could represent an important reservoir...Continue Reading

CRISPR & Staphylococcus

CRISPR-Cas system enables the editing of genes to create or correct mutations. Staphylococci are associated with life-threatening infections in hospitals, as well as the community. Here is the latest research on how CRISPR-Cas system can be used for treatment of Staphylococcal infections.
