| Abstract | The biological significance of fimbrial phase variation in Salmonella serotypes is currently unknown. Exposure to long polar (LP) fimbriae of Salmonella enterica serotype Typhimurium results in selection against lpf phase ON cells of serotype Enteritidis during a subsequent challenge, suggesting that fimbrial phase variation may be a mechanism to evade cross-immunity between Salmonella serotypes. This notion was tested by assessing the effect of an immune response against serotype Typhimurium LP fimbriae on colonization of mice with a serotype Enteritidis mutant in which the lpf promoter region was replaced with the Escherichia coli lac promoter. During a challenge with a serotype Enteritidis mutant carrying the lac promoter in front of the lpf operon, significantly lower numbers were recovered from organs and feces of mice previously immunized with an lpf phase ON culture of serotype Typhimurium than from mice not previously exposed to LP fimbriae. Immunization with the lpf phase ON culture of serotype Typhimurium elicited antibodies that cross-reacted with a purified gluthathione-S-transferase–LpfA fusion protein of serotype Enteritidis. These data suggested that cross-immunity against LP fimbrial proteins cannot be evaded if phase variation on the transcriptional level is prevented by expressing the lpf operon from the lac promoter. These data hence support the idea that phase variation of LP fimbriae is a mechanism to evade cross-immunity between serotypes Enteritidis and Typhimurium. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
