Here, the rapid detection of Salmonella typhimurium by a portable surface plasmon resonance (SPR) biosensor in which the beam from a diode laser is modulated by a rotating mirror is reported. Using this system, immunoassay based on lipopolysaccharides (LPS)-specific monoclonal anti-Salmonella antibody was performed. For the purpose of orientation-controlled immobilization of antibodies on the SPR chip surface, the cysteine-mediated immobilization method, which is based on interaction between a gold surface and a thiol group (-SH) of cysteine, was adopted. As a result, using the portable SPR-based immunoassay, we detected S. typhimurium in the range from 10^7 CFU/mL to 10^9 CFU/mL within 1 hour. The results indicate that the portable SPR system could be potentially applied for general laboratory detection as well as on-site monitoring of foodborne, clinical, and environmental agents of interest.

MudJ(Km.lac) operon fusions were used in the identification of osmotic-inducible genetic(osi) loci in Salmonella typhimurium. Expression of osi::lacZ(osi5001, 5027) genes were dramatically induced 39-189 fold when the osmolarity was increased. Seven osm::lacZ genes were constituvely expressed under both low and high osmotic strength. The osi5001::lacZ fusion strains showed the enhanced osmotolerance and the reduced expression of the osi5001::lacZ in the presence of 1mM proline or betaine as osmoprotectants. Four osmotic inducible genetic loci were mapped into 36 (YK531), 44 (YK504), 57 (YK501) and 84 (YK528) map unit by testing the cotransduction frequency.

Porcine salmonellosis is an economically important disease affecting the global pig industry today. Salmonella (S.) Typhimurium is highly contagious and may rapidly spread within pig populations of herd. To investigate the prevalence of porcine salmonellosis in Jeju, a total of 12,885 blood sera of 96 pig farms from 2009 to 2012 were analyzed by microplate agglutination test. Antibodies to S. Typhimurium were detected in all of pig farms tested in Jeju Province, and the mean of seropositive rate of individual pig was 18.8%. The mean seropositive rate of S. Typhimurium in sows (46.7%) was 7 times higher than that of weaned or growing pigs (6.7%). The lowest seropositive rate (3.0%) was detected in 40 day-old pigs, and this result might be closely associated with the marked decrease of maternal passive immunity. The seropositive rate in winter (42.7%) was higher than in other seasons.

In order to rapidly identify and differentiate Salmonella typhimurium from the intestinal gram-negative bacteria, randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) fingerprinting of Salmonella typhimurium was carried out using random primers designated OPA-13 (5'-CAGCACCCAC-3'), OPB-10 (5'-CGTCTGGGAC-3'), OPB-18 (5'-CCACAGCAGT-3'), and OPJ-10 (5'-AAGCCCGAGG-3'), and its patterns compared with 6 representive intestinal, gram-negative bacterial strains, Vibrio parahaemolyticus, V. vulnificus, Enterobacter cloacae, Escherichia coli O157:H7, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Proteus sp., which are often found in foods. S. typhimurium had unique and distinct fingerprinting patterns. RAPD fingerprinting is thus concluded to be a rapid and sensitive method for the identification of S. typhimurium compared to conventional culturing procedures or immunoassays.

Inorganic iron is essential for various metabolic processes, including RNA synthesis, electron transport, and oxygen detoxification in microorganisms. Many bacterial pathogens compete for iron acquisition in diverse environmental condition such as host. Salmonella Typhimurium SL1344 also requires inorganic iron as a cofactor for growth. When a M9 minimal liquid medium was supplemented with ethylenediamine di-o-hydroxyphenylactic acid (EDDA) which acts as an iron-chelating agent, growth of Salmonella Typhimurium SL1344 in the supplemented medium was completely arrested by deficient of useful iron under iron-depleted condition. However, a number of siderophores, which are small, high-affinity iron chelating compounds secreted by microorganisms such as bacteria and fungi, were produced for utilization of restricted iron under iron-depleted condition. A M9 minimal liquid medium complemented with human transferrin (hTf)-iron complex turned completely off production of siderophores, but growth of Salmonella Typhimurium SL1344 maintained level similar to compare one complemented with iron (III) chloride (FeCl3). This means that human transferrin (hTf)-bound iron can utilize via directly interaction with Salmonella Typhimurium SL1344 without productions of siderophores. Through construction and analysis of negative mutant for utilization of human transferrin (hTf)-bound iron, we confirm that the bacterium can directly use human transferrin (hTf)-bound iron without extracellularly intermediated carriers such as siderophores.

SlyA is known as a transcriptional regulator that regulates the expression of hemolysin (HlyE) in E. coli, a member of the Enterobacteriaceae family such as Salmonella. However, Salmonella has the slyA gene but lacks the hlyE gene. Then, because we were curious about the role of SlyA in Salmonella, we constructed and explored a mutant strain with a deletion of the slyA gene. S. Typhimurium CK295 (ΔslyA) was constructed using an allelic exchange approach. In a comparative analysis between the wild-type and the CK295 strain, no significant differences were observed in growth characteristics, motility, total protein analyses, and secreted protein analyses. However, the CK295 strain exhibited slightly reduced biofilm formation compared to the wild-type. Interestingly, as a result of comparing the survival ability in macrophages, the mutant strain showed a 60% decrease in survival ability compared to the wild-type. To evaluate toxicity in mice, mortality was measured after oral administration to 6-week-old BALB/c mice. As a result, the LD₅₀ value of the CK295 (ΔslyA) was more than 100 times higher than that of wild-type S. Typhimurium 𝜒3339 in BALB/c. In conclusion, SlyA is presumed to regulate the expression of genes encoding virulence factors involved in the in vivo survival of Salmonella.

Salmonella typhimurium is a causative agent of the common worldwide disease, salmonellosis. To identify putative invasion genes involved in Samonella infections, a S. typhimurium cosmid library was constructed in noninvasive E. coli DJl. The invasion efficiencies of the cosmid library for cultured HEp-2 and HeLa cells were estimated by tissue-culture invasion assay. 2 out of 1,000 transductants, DHl(pSI623) and DHl(pSI511) were able to invade the cells. Compared to E. coli by DHl(pSI511) increased 25- and 33 fold, respectively. The invasion efficiencies of HeLa cells by DHl(pSI623) increased 31- and 35 fold, respectively. This illustrates that the cosmid clones, DHl(pSI623) and DHl(pSI511) could harbor the invasion determinants derived from genomic DNA of S. typhimurium 82/6915, conferring the invasive characters for the cells.

The presence of the nitric oxide synthase (NOS) enzyme from Salmonella typhimurium (S. typhimurium) was identified by measuring radiolabeled L-$[^3H]$citrulline and NO, and Western blot analysis. NOS was partially purified by both Mono Q ion exchange and Superose 12HR size exclusion column chromatography, sequentially. The molecular weight of NOS was estimated to be 93.3 kDa by Western blot analysis. The enzyme showed a significant dependency on the typical NOS cofactors; an apparent Km for L-arginine of 34.7 mM and maximum activity between $37^{\circ}C$ and $43^{\circ}C$. The activity was inhibited by NOS inhibitors such as aminoguanidine and $N^{G}$ $N^{G}$-dimethyl-L-arginine. taken together, partially purified NOS in S. typhimurium is assumed to be a different isoform of mammalian NOSs.OSs.

This study was conducted to find material having antibacterial activity. The effects of preservatives, antibiotics and oriental medicines on growth of teated microorganisms were investigated. The growth of all tested bacteria was inhibited by water extract of Schizandra chinensis. Antibacterial activity on the concentration of Schizandra chinensis extract was tested. The growth of Escherichia coli W3110, Enterobacter colacae MG82 and Salmonella typhimurium was extraordinarily inhibited by more than 0.2% concentration of Schizandra chinensis extract. The specific growth rate of Escherichia coli W3110, Enterobacter cloacae ME82 and Salmonella typhimurium under control conditin had mean values of 0.514(hr￣), 0.381(hr￣) and 0.489(hr￣), respectively. When 0.2% of Schizandra chinensis extract was added, specific growth rates of Escherichia coli W3110, Enterobacter colacae MG82 and Salmonella typhimurium wre decreased, compared to contorl, in 1.26, 2.23 and 1.50 fold, respectivley. Minimal inhibiotory concentration of Schizandra chinensis extract was 0.25% on the tested microorganisms The growth of Enterobacter cloacae MG82 was more inhibited by Schizandra chinensis extract than other tested microorganisms.
