Yersinia delivers Yops into numerous types of cultured cells, but predominantly into professional phagocytes and B cells during animal infection. The basis for this cellular tropism during animal infection is not understood. This work demonstrates that efficient and specific Yop translocation into phagocytes by Yersinia pseudotuberculosis (Yptb) is a multi-factorial process requiring several adhesins and host complement. When WT Yptb or a multiple adhesin mutant strain, ΔailΔinvΔyadA, colonized tissues to comparable levels, ΔailΔinvΔyadA translocated Yops into significantly fewer cells, demonstrating that these adhesins are critical for translocation into high numbers of cells. However, phagocytes were still selectively targeted for translocation, indicating that other bacterial and/or host factors contribute to this function. Complement depletion showed that complement-restricted infection by ΔailΔinvΔyadA but not WT, indicating that adhesins disarm complement in mice either by prevention of opsonophagocytosis or by suppressing production of pro-inflammatory cytokines. Furthermore, in the absence of the three adhesins and complement, the spectrum of cells targeted for translocation was significantly altered, indicating that Yersinia adhesins and complement direct Yop translocation into neutrophils during animal infection. In summary, these findings demonstrate that in infected tissues, Yersinia uses adhesins both to disarm complement-dependent killing and to efficiently translocate Yops into phagocytes. Many bacterial pathogens use a needle-like structure to deliver proteins into host cells to cause disease. Yersinia species use one such structure, called a type III secretion system, to deliver a set of 6–7 proteins, called Yops, into host cells. These Yops act to dismantle host defenses and establish infection. Bacterial adhesins and host factors have been suggested to promote proper delivery of Yops into specific mammalian cells. We identify three Yersinia pseudotuberculosis adhesins that significantly contribute to bacterial survival and efficient Yop delivery into host cells during animal infection. We also demonstrate that host serum factors in combination with Yersinia adhesins contribute to the number of cells that are injected with Yops and to the specific cell types targeted for injection. Our study illustrates that bacterial adhesins and host factors contribute to efficient delivery of effector proteins into targeted host cells during infection.
