BackgroundNon-typhoidSalmonellainfection may present as acute gastroenteritis or chronic infection, primarily in the bile-rich gallbladder. Biofilm formation is a mechanism of bile resistance inSalmonella. Our aim was to determine howSalmonellautilizes bile as a signal, and to study the relevance of the interaction between the PhoP-PhoQ two-component system and cyclic diguanosine monophosphate (c-di-GMP) signaling to biofilm formation.MethodsTwo-dimensional (2-D) gel electrophoresis was used to identify genes required forSalmonellabiofilm formation in bile. Quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) was used to clarify the role of the PhoP-PhoQ two-component system and its interaction with genes involved in the c-di-GMP network during biofilm formation.ResultsOur result revealed thatSalmonellamutants with incomplete outer membrane (△ompA), defective flagella (△flgE), or incomplete PhoP-PhoQ two-component system (△phoP), were unable to develop complete biofilms in the presence of bile. Moreover, PhoP-PhoQ two-component system-relatedSalmonellamutants (△phoP, △phoQ, △phoP△phoQ) had lower expression of c-di-GMP related genes (csgD,adrA) than the wild-typeSalmonellastrain had in the bile environment.ConclusionSalmonellamay sense and respond to bile through the PhoP-PhoQ two-component system during biofilm formation. Furthermore, the PhoP-PhoQ two-component system might activate regulators of the c-di-GMP signaling network.
