Salmonella invades host cells and replicates inside acidified, remodeled vacuoles that are exposed to reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated by the innate immune response. Oxidative products of the phagocyte NADPH oxidase mediate antimicrobial activity, in part, by collapsing the ΔpH of intracellular Salmonella. Given the role of arginine in bacterial resistance to acidic pH, we screened a library of 54 single-gene mutants in Salmonella that are each involved in, but do not entirely block, arginine metabolism. We identified several mutants that affected Salmonella virulence in mice. The triple mutant ΔargCBH, which is deficient in arginine biosynthesis, was attenuated in immunocompetent mice, but recovered virulence in phagocyte NADPH oxidase deficientCybb−/−mice. Furthermore, ΔargCBHSalmonella was profoundly susceptible to the bacteriostatic and bactericidal effects of hydrogen peroxide. Peroxide stress led to a larger collapse of the ΔpH in ΔargCBHmutants than occurred in wild-type Salmonella. The addition of exogenous arginine rescued ΔargCBHSalmonella from peroxide-induced ΔpH collapse and killing. Combined, these observations suggest that arginine metabolism is a hitherto unknown determinant of virulence that contributes to the antioxidant defenses of Salmonella by preserving pH homeostasis. In the absence of phagocyte NADPH oxidase-produced ROS, host cell-derivedl-arginine appears to satisfy the needs of intracellular Salmonella. However, under oxidative stress, Salmonella must additionally rely onde novobiosynthesis to maintain full virulence.
