AbstractAbstract
Melioidosis caused by Burkholderia pseudomallei is a globally important disease of increasing concern according to high
case
-fatality rate and epidemic spreading. The ability of B. pseudomallei to attach and invade host cells and subsequently survive intracellularly has stimulated many questions concerning the comprehension of bacterial pathogenesis progression. Transcription levels of intracellular B. pseudomallei genes in human lung epithelial cells were therefore analyzed using bioinformatic tools, RT-PCR and real time RT-PCR. Here, it is reported that the identification of bpsl1502, encoding B. pseudomallei SurE (stationary phase survival protein E) located in a global transcriptional regulation operon was accomplished. The up-regulation of B. pseudomallei SurE was demonstrated during intracellular survival of A549 cells at 12, 18, and 24 h post-infection. To investigate the role of this protein, a B. pseudomallei SurE defective mutant was constructed. The invasion and initial survival of the SurE mutants within the A549 cells were impaired. There was no difference, however, between the growth of B. pseudomallei SurE mutant as compared to the wild type in Luria-Bertani culture. These data suggest that SurE may assist B. pseudomallei host cells invade and facilitate early intracellular infection but is not crucial during the stationary growth phase. The identification of B. pseudomallei SurE provides more information of bacterial strategy during an early step of the pathogenesis process of melioidosis.
