Salmonellaspecies are among the world’s most prevalent pathogens. Because the cell wall interfaces with the host, we designed a lipidomics approach to reveal pathogen-specific cell wall compounds. Among the molecules differentially expressed betweenSalmonellaParatyphi andS.Typhi, we focused on lipids that are enriched inS.Typhi, because it causes typhoid fever. We discovered a previously unknown family of trehalose phospholipids, 6,6′-diphosphatidyltrehalose (diPT) and 6-phosphatidyltrehalose (PT). Cardiolipin synthase B (ClsB) is essential for PT and diPT but not for cardiolipin biosynthesis. Chemotyping outperformedclsBhomology analysis in evaluating synthesis of diPT. DiPT is restricted to a subset of Gram-negative bacteria: large amounts are produced byS.Typhi, lower amounts by other pathogens, and variable amounts byEscherichia colistrains. DiPT activates Mincle, a macrophage activating receptor that also recognizes mycobacterial cord factor (6,6′-trehalose dimycolate). Thus, Gram-negative bacteria show convergent function with mycobacteria. Overall, we discovered a previously unknown immunostimulant that is selectively expressed among medically important bacterial species.
