Conley, H. E., Brown, C. F., Westerman, T. L., Elfenbein, J. R., & Sheats, M. K. (2024, February 16). Biomedicines, Vol. 12.

By: H. Conley n, C. Brown n, T. Westerman*, J. Elfenbein* & M. Sheats n 

author keywords: neutrophils; Salmonella; MARCKS; respiratory burst; migration; phagocytosis
topics (OpenAlex): Salmonella and Campylobacter epidemiology; Neutrophil, Myeloperoxidase and Oxidative Mechanisms; Trace Elements in Health
TL;DR: This study demonstrates that MARCKS inhibition attenuated STm-induced neutrophil adhesion and chemotaxis and enhanced neutrophil phagocytosis and respiratory burst in response to STm, the first report describing the role of MARCKS protein in neutrophil antibacterial responses.

Nonredundant Dimethyl Sulfoxide Reductases Influence Salmonella enterica Serotype Typhimurium Anaerobic Growth and Virulence

Cruz, E., Haeberle, A. L., Westerman, T. L., Durham, M. E., Suyemoto, M. M., Knodler, L. A., & Elfenbein, J. R. (2023, February 1). Infection and Immunity.

By: E. Cruz  n, A. Haeberle *, T. Westerman n, M. Durham n, M. Suyemoto n, L. Knodler *, J. Elfenbein n

author keywords: DMSO; Salmonella; anaerobic metabolism; bovine ileal loop model; dimethyl sulfoxide; murine infection; type 3 secretion system
MeSH headings : Animals; Virulence; Anaerobiosis; Type III Secretion Systems / metabolism; Dimethyl Sulfoxide / pharmacology; Dimethyl Sulfoxide / metabolism; Serogroup; Oxidoreductases / metabolism; Salmonella typhimurium; Mammals
topics (OpenAlex): Salmonella and Campylobacter epidemiology; Vibrio bacteria research studies; Escherichia coli research studies
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that an S. enterica serotype Typhimurium mutant with loss of function in all three putative DMSO reductases (ΔdmsA3) poorly colonizes the mammalian intestine when the microbiota is intact and when inflammation is absent, and suggest D MSO is a physiologically relevant electron acceptor that supports S. entersica fitness in the gut.

Sulfate Import in Salmonella Typhimurium Impacts Bacterial Aggregation and the Respiratory Burst in Human Neutrophils

Westerman, T. L., Sheats, M. K., & Elfenbein, J. R. (2021, April 1). Infection and Immunity, Vol. 6.

By: T. Westerman n, M. Sheats n  & J. Elfenbein n

author keywords: Salmonella; cysteine metabolism; flagellar motility; neutrophils; respiratory burst
MeSH headings : Cysteine / metabolism; Flagella / physiology; Genes, Bacterial; Host-Pathogen Interactions / immunology; Humans; Mutation; Neutrophils / immunology; Neutrophils / metabolism; Respiratory Burst / immunology; Salmonella Infections / immunology; Salmonella Infections / microbiology; Salmonella typhimurium / physiology; Sulfates / metabolism; Type III Secretion Systems / genetics; Type III Secretion Systems / metabolism
