Association with MDCK epithelial cells by Salmonella typhimurium is reduced during utilization of carbohydrates.

Abstract：

:Association of Salmonella typhimurium with MDCK epithelial cells in monolayers, represented primarily by intracellular bacteria after 30 min of contact, with centrifugation followed by vigorous washing, was measured during aerobic and anaerobic growth of the bacteria in brain heart infusion broth. Cell association was greatest during a short period in the late log phase of growth under aerobic conditions. At this time, the pH of the growth medium was changing from acid to alkaline and glucose (0.2% initially) was exhausted. Addition of excess glucose (0.5%) to brain heart infusion broth, which was not exhausted before the bacteria entered the stationary phase of growth, in which cell association dropped sharply, resulted in repression of cell association by the bacteria. The repressive effect of glucose on cell association could not be reversed by exogenous cyclic AMP in the bacterial growth medium. Under anaerobic conditions, the effect of glucose on cell association by the bacteria was not as great and the glucose was not exhausted before the bacteria entered the stationary phase. When S. typhimurium was grown in a rich but carbohydrate-free medium, cell association by the bacteria increased earlier in the growth cycle under both aerobic and anaerobic conditions. The addition of glucose and certain other utilizable carbohydrates to this medium caused a repression of cell association by S. typhimurium that was greater under aerobic growth conditions. These results show that cell association by S. typhimurium, which is accompanied by rapid internalization (cell invasion), is the same under aerobic and anaerobic conditions if the bacteria are grown to the log phase in a carbohydrate-free medium. This suggests that prior reports of greater cell invasion by S. typhimurium during anaerobic growth may have arisen from the use of media containing carbohydrates which were found to be more repressive during aerobic growth of the bacteria.
