Salmonella-liberated dietary L-arabinose promotes expansion in superspreaders
CELL HOST & MICROBE(2023)
摘要
The molecular understanding of host-pathogen interactions in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract of superspreader hosts is incomplete. In a mouse model of chronic, asymptomatic Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium (S. Tm) infection, we performed untargeted metabolomics on the feces of mice and found that superspreader hosts possess distinct metabolic signatures compared with non-superspreaders, including differential levels of L-arabinose. RNA-seq on S. Tm from superspreader fecal samples showed increased expression of the L-arabinose catabolism pathway in vivo. By combining bacterial genetics and diet manipulation, we demonstrate that diet-derived L-arabinose provides S. Tma competitive advantage in the GI tract, and expansion of S. Tm in the GI tract requires an alpha-N-arabinofuranosidase that liberates L-arabinose from dietary poly-saccharides. Ultimately, our work shows that pathogen-liberated L-arabinose from the diet provides a competitive advantage to S. Tm in vivo. These findings propose L-arabinose as a critical driver of S. Tm expansion in the GI tracts of superspreader hosts.
