沙门氏菌I型菌毛研究进展
摘 要:
据WHO估计,全球每年有数十亿人患食源性疾病,其中由沙门氏菌感染引起的死亡就超过23万人。在沙门氏菌众多的毒力因子中,菌毛在该病原体感染过程中发挥了不可或缺的作用。菌毛(又称纤毛)是细菌表面的丝状蛋白附属物,是细菌对宿主细胞产生作用和造成感染的关键因子。其中,I型菌毛是肠杆菌科成员(包括沙门氏菌)中最常见的菌毛之一,对于细菌启动和发挥致病作用至关重要。鉴于I型菌毛对沙门氏菌的重要性,现就沙门氏菌I型菌毛的结构、表达调控、致病性及其与其他毒力因子的相互作用等方面展开讨论,旨在为靶向I型菌毛来研究沙门氏菌的致病机理提供一定的理论参考。

Abstract:
Based on the data from WHO, billions of people worldwide suffer from foodborne diseases each year, of which 230 000 die from Salmonella infection. Among Salmonella virulent factors, fimbriae play a significant role in Salmonella-related infection. Fimbriae (also known as cilium) are a kind of filamentous protein presenting on bacterial surface, which are responsible for bacteria-host interaction and infection. As one of the most common fimbriae in enterobacteriaceae (including Salmonella), type I fimbriae are crucial to initial attachment and pathogenic infection of bacteria. Considering the importance of Salmonella type I fimbriae, this review mainly focused on the structure, expression regulation, interactions with other virulent factors and pathogenicity of type I fimbriae. The aim of this review is to provide a systematic theoretical reference for targeting type I fimbriae to explore the pathogenic mechanism of Salmonella.
