No. of bitstreams: 0 / O hidrogênio, utilizado em células a combustível, pode ser produzido a partir de diferentes espécies químicas, entre elas a amônia. O gás amônia como matéria prima para produção de H2 tem sido utilizado devido ao seu alto conteúdo energético e de hidrogênio, pela sua facilidade de decomposição, grande disponibilidade, baixo custo, pelas baixas pressões de armazenamento e pelos subprodutos do processamento serem ambientalmente corretos. Uma das fontes de amônia são os sistemas produtivos de frango de corte e ovos. Nesses sistemas a amônia é gerada a partir da decomposição do ácido úrico encontrado na excreta das aves. O resíduo proveniente dos sistemas de frango de corte é a cama de frango e nos sistemas de produção de ovos é a excreta sem qualquer substrato. A caracterização desses resíduos foi realizada por meio das análises de Espectrometria de Fluorescência de Raios-X por Dispersão de Comprimento de Onda (WDXRF), Análise Elementar CHN, Termogravimetria e Cromatografia a gás acoplada à Espectrometria de massa GC/MS. Os fatores estudados e que influenciam a volatilização da amônia foram: teor de nitrogênio, tempo de criação, enzima urease, temperatura, pH e teor de umidade. Os resultados dos experimentos com a cama de frango e com a excreta permitem concluir que a manipulação dos seguintes parâmetros aumentaram a emissão de amônia: o pH, o teor de nitrogênio, o tempo de criação, idade das aves e acúmulo de excreta, enzima urease e a temperatura. A adição de diferentes quantidades de areia na excreta e de volumes de água na cama de frango inibiram a emissão de amônia. A variação da quantidade de material (cama ou excreta) e do volume do frasco utilizado como câmara incubadora não demonstraram alterações significativas para serem escolhidos como uma variável. Na comparação da cama de frango com a excreta, a excreta foi considerada mais adequada aos objetivos do trabalho, pois a concentração de amônia determinada nos experimentos foi maior nesse material. Devido à grande quantidade de cama de frango e de excretas resultantes dos processos de produção, o reaproveitamento dos resíduos avícolas para a obtenção de amônia se faz necessário para melhorar a qualidade do meio ambiente local. A possibilidade do aumento da emissão de amônia, verificada nesse trabalho, e a sua utilização em um sistema geração de amônia - produção de hidrogênio - célula a combustível, poderá produzir eletricidade no próprio empreendimento, reduzindo os gastos das granjas e destinando adequadamente esses resíduos. / Dissertacao (Mestrado) / IPEN/D / Instituto de Pesquisas Energeticas e Nucleares - IPEN-CNEN/SP

Estudo da resposta imune, colonização e invasão de aves (Gallus gallus domesticus) por estirpes de Salmonella Enteritidis e Salmonella Typhimurium contendo deleções nos genes clpp e flid /Barbosa, Fernanda de Oliveira. January 2020 (has links)
Orientador: Angelo Berchieri Junior / Resumo: Salmonella Enteritidis e Salmonella Typhimurium causam infecções em seres humanos e animais que são frequentemente associadas à extensa colonização intestinal e excreção fecal. A presença de estrutura flagelar no patógeno está relacionada à indução de inflamação intestinal e atenuação de infecção sistêmica no hospedeiro. Por outro lado, a infecção por estirpes aflageladas resulta em pouca inflamação e consequente infecção sistêmica grave. No presente estudo, foi avaliada a hipótese de que a síntese de maior quantidade de flagelina em estirpes de Salmonella geneticamente modificadas poderia levar a infecção sistêmica menos intensa em aves. Para investigar as conseqüências da superprodução de flagelina, foram construídas estirpes de Salmonella Enteritidis e Typhimurium contendo deleções nos genes clpP e fliD (que levam à superexpressão de flagelina) e patogenicidade e imunogenicidade foram comparadas com as respectivas estirpes selvagens em aves infectadas. Os resultados indicaram que o aumento da síntese de flagelina por SE ΔclpPΔfliD e STM ΔclpPΔfliD culmina em déficit da taxa de multiplicação bacteriana. Porém, tais alterações não interferiram na capacidade de colonização cecal e excreção fecal das estirpes mutantes. O mesmo foi observado em fígado e baço, mas após 14 dpi as estirpes mutantes tendem a serem eliminadas destes órgãos. Mesmo com síntese mais elevada de flagelina, as estirpes mutantes recrutaram quantidades semelhantes de linfócitos e macrófagos em tonsila cecal...

The presence of flagellar structure in the pathogen is related to the induction of intestinal inflammation and attenuation of systemic infection in the host. On the other hand, the absence of flagellin results in severe systemic infection as a result of mild inflammatory intestinal responses provoked by aflagellated strains. The hypothesis that higher flagellin production by Salmonella strains could induce immunogenic response during infection in chickens was evaluated in the present study. To investigate the consequences of flagellin overproduction, strains of Salmonella Enteritidis and Typhimurium containing clpP and fliD deletions (which lead to flagellin overexpression) were constructed, and pathogenicity and immunogenicity were compared with their respective wild-type strains in infected chickens. The results suggested that the increase in flagellin synthesis by SE ΔclpPΔfliD and STM ΔclpPΔfliD culminates in a deficit in the bacterial multiplication rate. However, that changes did not interfere with the capacity for caecal colonization and faecal excretion of mutant strains. The same was observed in the liver and spleen, but after 14 dpi, mutant strains tend to be eliminated from these organs. Even with higher flagellin synthesis, the mutant strains recruited similar amounts of lymphocytes and macro... (Complete abstract click electronic access below) / Doutor

Previous issue date: 2017-07-27 / Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (CAPES) / RESUMO – Salmonella Gallinarum (SG) é um patógeno hospedeiro-específico que causa o tifo aviário, doença sistêmica severa que é considerada uma das principais preocupações da indústria avícola mundial. Quando infecta a ave, SG utiliza mecanismos de evasão para sobreviver e replicar no interior de macrófagos. Nesse contexto, os genes phoPQ codificam o sistema regulatório de dois componentes (PhoPQ) que regula genes de virulência responsáveis pela adaptação de Salmonella spp. a fatores antimicrobianos como baixo pH, peptídeos antimicrobianos e baixas concentrações de cátions bivalentes. No presente estudo, objetivou-se investigar a função desses genes para SG. Assim, uma estirpe de SG com genes phoPQ defectivos (SG ∆phoPQ) foi construída e sua patogenicidade avaliada em aves poedeiras de 20 dias de vida susceptíveis ao tifo aviário. SG ∆phoPQ não causou sinais clínicos nem mortalidade em aves desafiadas oralmente, sendo não-patogênica. Ademais, essa estirpe não foi recuperada de fígados e baços. Por outro lado, aves desafiadas subcutaneamente com a estirpe mutante tiveram alterações patológicas discretas a moderadas e baixas contagens bacterianas em tecidos de fígado e baço. A partir dos dados, observa-se que SG ∆phoPQ é atenuado para aves o que sugere que ambos os genes são importantes durante a infecção sistêmica em aves por SG. / ABSTRACT – Salmonella Gallinarum (SG) is a host-restrict pathogen that causes fowl typhoid, a severe systemic disease that is one of the major concerns to the poultry industry worldwide. When infecting the bird, SG makes use of evasion mechanisms to survive and to replicate within macrophages. In this context, phoPQ genes encode a two-component regulatory system (PhoPQ) that regulates virulence genes responsible for adaptation of Salmonella spp. to antimicrobial factors such as low pH, antimicrobial peptides and deprivation of bivalent cations. Herein, we aimed to investigate the role of the mentioned genes to SG. Thus, a phoPQ-depleted SG strain (SG ∆phoPQ) was constructed and its virulence assessed in twenty-day-old laying hens susceptible to fowl typhoid. SG ∆phoPQ did cause neither clinical signs nor mortality in birds orally challenged, being non-pathogenic. Furthermore, this strain was not recovered from livers or spleens. On the other hand, chickens challenged subcutaneously with the mutant strain had discreet to moderate pathological changes and also low bacterial counts in liver and spleen tissues. These findings show that SG ∆phoPQ is attenuated to susceptible chickens and suggest that both genes are important during chicken systemic infection by SG.

Infecção experimental de aves de postura (Gallus gallus domesticus) por cepas de Salmonella enterica sorovar Gallinarum (SG), SGNalr SGcobS e SGcobScbiA: Anatomopatologia, hemograma e perfil bioquímico sérico /Garcia, Kleber Ormande. January 2010 (has links)
Resumo: Este trabalho objetivou avaliar a anatomopatologia, o hemograma e o perfil bioquímico sérico de aves de postura inoculadas por Salmonella Gallinarum (SG) contendo os genes cobS e cbiA inoperantes (SGcobScbiA) que mostrou ser avirulenta em trabalhos anteriores, comparando-a com cepas virulentas SGNalr e SGcobS, para mostrar se SGcobScbiA pode ser componente de vacina contra cepas selvagens de SG e S.Enteritidis. 280 pintainhas foram distribuídas em 4 grupos (G); G1 (SGcobS), G2 (SGNalr), G3 (SGcobScbiA) e G4 (controle). Com exceção do G4, os grupos receberam 0,2 mL de suas respectivas cepas contendo aproximadamente 108 UFC/mL de inóculo, aos 5 dias de idade. A eutanásia foi realizada 24h antes (1DAI) e após a inoculação (1DPI), e 3 (3DPI), 5 (5DPI), 7 (7DPI), 10 (10DPI) e 15 (15DPI) dias após a administração do inóculo, sacrificando-se, em cada momento, dez aves de cada grupo. As aves foram sacrificadas, obtendo-se amostras de sangue utilizadas para os exames hematológicos e bioquímicos. Fragmentos de fígado, baço, timo, bursa de Fabricius, rins e coração foram destinados aos exames histológicos. As aves inoculadas com a cepa SGcobS tiveram comportamento semelhante às aves inoculadas por SGNalr, porém com algumas respostas diferentes nos exames hematológicos e bioquímicos. As aves inoculadas com a cepa SGcobScbiA tiveram comportamento semelhante ao grupo controle, entretanto foi verificado alterações brandas em alguns parâmetros, mostrando que estudos futuros devem ser feitos, verificando se as alterações constatadas não irão interferir no desempenho de aves vacinadas com a cepa SGcobScbiA. / Abstract: The aim of the present study was to evaluate anatomopathology, hemogram and blood serum components of commercial layers experimentally inoculated with SGcobScbiA, which is a Salmonella Gallinarum (SG) strain it shows attenuation of the virulence in previous research and it was compared with high virulence SGNalr and SGcobS strains in order to show if SGcobScbiA has potential to be use as a vaccine against SG and S. Enteritidis wild strains. 280 commercial layers were divided into 4 groups (G); G1 (SGcobS), G2 (SGNalr), G3 (SGcobScbiA) and G4 (control group). With exception of G4, all the other groups received 0,2 mL of their respective strain containing about 108 CFU/mL of the inoculum with five days of age. Birds were sacrificed 24 hours before (1DBI) and 24 hours after the inoculation (1DAI), and three (3DAI), five (5DAI), seven (7DAI) ten (10DAI), and fifteen (15DAI) days after the administration of the inoculum, slaughtering ten birds at a time in each group. Birds were submitted to euthanasia and blood samples were collected in order to make the hematological and blood serum components test. Samples of liver, spleen, thymus, bursa of Fabricius, kidneys and heart were collected for the histological test. The birds inoculated with SGcobS strain had similar behavior when compared with that ones who received SGNalr strain, however some different responses in the hematological and blood serum components were found. On the other hand, the birds inoculated with SGcobScbiA strain had similar behavior when compared with the control group, however, lower alterations in some parameters were found. Further studies must be done to verify if these alterations will not interfere in the performance of the vaccinate birds with SGcobScbiA strain. / Orientador: Ângelo Berchieri Júnior / Coorientador: José Jurandir Fagliari / Banca: Antonio Carlos Alessi / Banca: Raimundo Souza Lopes / Mestre

An investigation of teaching behaviour in primates and birdsTroisi, Camille A. January 2017 (has links)
Many animals socially learn, but very few do so through teaching, where an individual modifies its behaviour in order to facilitate learning for another individual. Teaching behaviour is costly, but can confer numerous advantages, such as high fidelity transmission of information or an increase in the rate of social learning. In many putative cases of teaching, it is not known whether the pupil learns from the modified behaviour. This thesis addresses this issue in three cases of potential teaching behaviour. In particular, it investigates whether the role of food transfers in wild golden lion tamarins is to teach which foods are good to eat (Chapter 5). There was little evidence that novel foods were transferred more than familiar foods, and this was not due to the juveniles attempting to obtain novel foods more than familiar ones, or by adults discarding novel foods more than familiar ones. Transfers were however more successful when donors had previously ingested the food type transferred. Successful food transfers also had a positive correlation with foraging choices once juveniles were older, suggesting they learned from food transfers. In golden lion tamarins, this thesis also examined whether juveniles learned from food-offering calls which substrates were good to forage on (Chapter 6). Juveniles that experienced playback of food-offering calls ate more on a novel substrate, than juveniles that did not experience those playbacks, both immediately as the calls were being played, and in the long term, six months after the playbacks. This suggests that juveniles learned from the playbacks. Finally, this thesis attempted to replicate previous findings showing that hens modify their behaviour when chicks feed from seemingly unpalatable food, and explored whether chicks learned what food to eat based on the maternal display (Chapter 7). The experiment failed to find evidence for teaching behaviour, but results were not inconsistent with previous findings. Moreover, there was little evidence that chicks learned from their mother, quite to the contrary, hens seemed to acquire their foraging decisions based on their chicks' choices.

Control of Salmonella Gallinarum (Fowl Typhoid) in Poultry with Phage-based InterventionsSaud Ur Rehman (13162020) 27 July 2022 (has links)
<p>The Pakistan poultry industry has developed into the 11thlargest poultry industry in the world and poultry products provide high-quality and affordable protein sources to communities throughout the country. However, <em>Salmonella </em>Gallinarum, the etiological agent for fowl typhoid, is endemic in Pakistan with infections leading to high mortality and substantial economic loss. Currently, <em>Salmonella </em>Gallinarum infectionsin Pakistan poultry are controlled with antibiotics. The continued emergence of antibiotic resistance, however, has led to global initiatives to reduce the use of antibiotics in both human and veterinary medicine. Concurrently, the Pakistan government recently introduced new national policies that limit the use of antibiotics for performance in livestock and poultry production. As such, controlling bacterial infections in poultry without increasing the likelihood of antibiotic use could ensure the sustainability of Pakistan poultry production without posing risks to public health. Toward this end, we hypothesized that <em>Salmonella</em> Gallinarum infections inchickens could be prevented or otherwise controlled through the use of phages. To test this hypothesis, wastewater samples were collected from Lahore, Pakistan and different cities of Indiana, US and processed to isolate bacteriophages. The phages were characterized in terms of morphology, host spectra, lytic capacity, genomic sequencing, and survivability in different environments. Transmission electron microscopy showed these phages belonged to myoviridae (n = 5) and podoviridae (n = 1) families. Spectrum analysis revealed that each phage lysed at least 8 out of 10 different strains of <em>Salmonella </em>Gallinarum and significantly reduced (P < 0.05) <em>Salmonella </em>Gallinarum when co-cultured in liquid medium with the bacterium. Stability of the phages was tested insimulated gastric fluid (SGF; pH= 2.5) andsimulated intestinal fluid (SIF; pH~6.8). Results showed that phage concentrationswere reduced to undetectable levels when exposed to SGF for more than 5 minutes. However, exposure to SIF did not result in appreciable reductions in phage concentrations. To mitigate potential effects of gastric environments, phages were encapsulated using a sodium alginate-based method. In contrast to unprotected phages, encapsulated phages remained viable (~100%) after 30 minutes exposure to SGF. Additionally, encapsulation efficiencies ranged between 90-99%. Encapsulated phages were sequentially incubated in SGF (30 minutes) and SIF(120 minutes) to determine the rate of release of the phages from capsules. All phages were released from capsules after 60 minutes of exposureto SIF. To determine if the phages effectively controlled <em>Salmonella </em>Gallinarum infections in chickens, 100, day-old Jumbo Cornish Rock Cross birds were randomly assigned to one of four treatments: 1) Control 1 (bacterial challenge, no phage treatment); 2) Control 2 (no phage or bacterial challenge); 3) challenged with SalmonellaGallinarum and treated with unprotected phages; and 4) challenged with <em>Salmonella</em> Gallinarum and treated with encapsulated phages. At7 d of age, chicks receiving the bacterial challenge were administered 5 X106CFU (500 μL) of <em>Salmonella</em> Gallinarum. For birds in phage treatment groups, the phages were administered (500 uL; 5 X108 PFU/mL or g) at 0, 12, and 24 hours post-challenge. Six birds from each group were euthanized at 1, 2, and 4 days post-challenge (dpc) and cecal SalmonellaGallinarum concentrations were quantified. At 1 dpc, birds treated with unprotected and encapsulated phages had significantly lower (P < 0.05) SalmonellaGallinarum concentrations(4.36 ± 0.20and 5.05 ± 0.22 logCFU/g, respectively) than those found in untreated birds (5.71 ± 0.13). Likewise, at4 dpc, <em>Salmonella </em>Gallinarum concentrationsin ceca of birds treated with encapsulated and unprotected phages were significantly lower (P < 0.05; 3.26 ± 0.62 and 4.02 ± 0.15 log CFU/g, respectively) than those found in untreated birds(4.65 ± 0.08log CFU/g). A second trial was conducted with higher challenge doses (1 mL at 1× 109CFU) and an additional treatment including a mixture (1:1) of unprotected and encapsulated phages. At1dpc, <em>Salmonella</em> Gallinarum concentrations in the ceca of birds treated with unprotected phages, encapsulated phages, and a mixture of unprotected and encapsulated phages were significantly lower(4.28 ± 0.11, 3.72 ± 0.40, and 3.81 ± 0.36log CFU/g, respectively) than found in those of untreated birds (5.26 ± 0.19log CFU/g). At 2 dpc, concentrations of<em> Salmonella </em>Gallinarumin the ceca of birds treated with unprotected, encapsulated, and a mixture of unprotected and encapsulated phages were significantly lower (P < 0.05; 4.31 ±0.53, 3.96 ±0.61, and 4.38 ± 0.44logCFU/g, respectively) than those found in the ceca of untreated birds (5.72 ± 0.27logCFU/g).However, no significant differences were found in concentrations of <em>Salmonella</em> Gallinarum in the ceca of birds treated with encapsulated phages versus those treated with unprotected phagesor a mixture of encapsulated and unprotected phages. Similarly, at 4 dpc, <em>Salmonella </em>Gallinarum concentrations in the ceca of birds treated with unprotected phages, encapsulated phages, and a mixture of unprotected and encapsulated phages were significantly lower (3.17 ± 0.45, 3.56 ± 0.51, and 3.81 ± 0.54log CFU/g, respectively) than found in those of untreated birds (5.79 ± 0.08log CFU/g). At 7 d post-challenge, concentrations of <em>Salmonella</em> Gallinarum in the ceca of birds treated with mixture of unprotected and encapsulated phages(2.40 ± 0.55log CFU/g) were significantly lower (P < 0.05) than those found in the ceca of untreated birds(7.08 ± 0.19log CFU/g). Similarly, concentrations of<em> Salmonella</em> Gallinarum in the ceca of birds treated with encapsulated and unprotected phages were significantly lower (P < 0.05; 4.29 ± 0.39and 4.60 ± 0.37 log CFU/g, respectively) than those found in untreated birds. Taken together, these data indicate that <em>Salmonella </em>Gallinarum infections could be controlled with phage-based treatments. Additionally, the use of a mixture of unprotected and encapsulated phages may be more effective, presumably by allowing unprotected phages to act immediately in the proximal gastrointestinal tract (GIT; e.g., crop) with encapsulated phages having greater activity once released from capsules in the distal small intestine. While no deleterious effects of the phages were observed on the chickens themselves, continuing studies should more comprehensively assess host-response to phage treatment including potential impact on microbial communities throughout the chicken GIT.</p>

The operation of sexual selection in the red junglefowlCollet, Julie January 2010 (has links)
Sexual selection acts on traits that increase the reproductive success of an individual in competition with other individuals of the same sex over reproductive opportunities, through intra-sexual competition and inter-sexual mate choice. Because males benefit more from remating than females, they are subject to more intense sexual selection. Modern genetic tools have shown that females often mate promiscuously, thus prolonging sexual selection after insemination through intra-sexual (sperm competition) and inter-sexual (cryptic female choice) episodes. Despite increasing interest in post-copulatory sexual selection, the implications of sperm competition, cryptic female choice and underpinning mechanisms remain little understood. This thesis adopts an integrated approach to quantify the relative importance of post-copulatory episodes in the operation of sexual selection, elucidate their proximate mechanisms in the red junglefowl Gallus gallus. By combining behavioural observations of replicate groups with paternity data, I show that female promiscuity decreased the total opportunity for sexual selection in a group, but accounts for an unexpectedly large proportion of the variance in male reproductive success. By comparing the operation of sexual selection on multiple male traits, I show that post-copulatory sexual selection reinforced pre-copulatory sexual selection for male social dominance and that female preferred to mate with compatible males. I used experiments to study the mechanisms of post-copulatory sexual selection by studying the effect of seminal fluid in sperm competition and cryptic female choice in relation to male status and relatedness. Following previous work indicating that seminal fluid products influence sperm quality in this species, I tested in vivo whether the seminal fluid of an ejaculate acts differentially towards sperm from the same ejaculate and rival sperm, and found no evidence for this idea. Finally, I show that cryptic female choice can drastically bias the outcome of sperm competition, and that female fowl might bias paternity toward unrelated males.

A Study on the Artemis Fowl Series in the Context of Publishing SuccessLindve, Katarina January 2007 (has links)
<p>A close reading of a series of books by Eoin Colfer that enjoyed universal success showed a change in the language between the books especially with respect to minor linguistic features such as choice of location and abstract vs. concrete language. The books are about the boy Artemis Fowl, and were presumably conceived as children’s books.</p><p>My original thesis was that the writer could not be sure of the success of the first book, but would definitely be aware of a worldwide audience for at least his third book, due to, for example, questions raised by the translators. If the original audience was expected to be Irish, or British, with very much the same cultural background as the author’s, the imagined subsequent audiences would change with success. My hope was to be able to show this by comparing linguistic features. And indeed, even though some changes could be due to coincidence there was a specific pattern evolving in the series, in that the originally Irish cultural background became less exclusive and more universal. The writer also used more details concerning locations, with added words to specify a place. What could thus be expected in the translated versions would be omissions and additions in especially the first book, but less need for that in later books. This, however, could not be proven in the Swedish translations. I thus conclude that the books became easier to follow for a wider, in this case Swedish, audience mostly because of efforts by the author and less because of the translator.</p>

Previous issue date: 2017-07-04 / Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo (FAPESP) / O tifo aviário, causado por Salmonella Gallinarum biotipo Gallinarum, é uma infecção caracterizada pela alta mortalidade nos lotes de aves suscetíveis acometidos, enquanto S. Gallinarum biotipo Pullorum, o agente da pulorose, infecta as aves de produção industrial com as quais desenvolve relação mais branda. Ainda é escasso o conhecimento sobre os mecanismos moleculares que sustentam essas diferentes interações patógeno-hospedeiro. Nesse estudo, objetivou-se investigar o efeito de deleção parcial das sequências codificantes dos genes idnT (transportador de L-idonato ou D-gluconato), idnO (5-cetogluconato redutase) e ccmH (heme liase necessária na montagem de citocromos do tipo C) sobre a patogenicidade de S. Gallinarum 287/91 (SG287/91), uma vez que seus ortólogos são pseudogenes conservados em S. Pullorum. Os clones mutantes SG∆idnTO, SG∆ccmH e SG∆ccmHidnTO foram obtidos por meio da técnica de mutação sítio-dirigida, denominada de recombinação Lambda-Red e testados em dois experimentos independentes com aves comerciais semipesadas de postura suscetíveis ao tifo aviário. No 1º experimento não se observou alteração da patogenicidade dos clones mutantes após inoculação oral, pois todos os animais infectados desenvolveram sinais clínicos típicos do tifo aviário e vieram a óbito ao longo de 12 dias pós-infecção (dpi). Apesar dos 100% de mortalidade, as infecções desenvolvidas pelos clones SG∆idnTO e SG∆ccmHidnTO levaram os animais a óbito dentro de 48 horas desde o aparecimento dos sinais clínicos, enquanto SG287/91 o fez em 6 dias, sugerindo aumento da virulência dos clones mutantes. No 2º experimento observou-se que as mutantes invadiram o hospedeiro a partir do intestino, embora as quantidades recuperadas de SG∆idnTO e SG∆ccmHidnTO nos fígados e de SG∆idnTO nos baços, no 5º dpi, foram superiores a de SG287/91, reforçando a hipótese de aumento da virulência dos clones contendo a alteração idnTO. Apesar disso, os níveis de transcrição das citocinas CXCLi2 e IL6 produzidos à infecção por SG∆idnTO e SG∆ccmHidnTO não diferiram nas tonsilas cecais nos 1º e 3º dpi e nos baços no 3º dpi em relação à infecção por SG287/91. Somente SG∆ccmH inclinou-se a estimular a transcrição de CXCLi2 e IL6 nas tonsilas cecais no 1° dpi em relação ao grupo controle, enquanto SG287/91 tendeu a suprimi-la. Porém, não houve suporte estatístico para essa observação. Os níveis de mRNA do IFNγ estavam aumentados para todas as estirpes de S. Gallinarum, mutantes ou não, porém sem diferença estatística entre eles. Os resultados do presente estudo indicam que a ruptura nos genes idnTO, e em menor grau do gene ccmH, poderiam levar a perda de “fitness” em S. Gallinarum, lhes justificando a permanência no genoma desse micro-organismo, ao contrário do que ocorre com S. Pullorum. O estudo da patogenicidade de estirpe de S. Pullorum tendo reconstituídos os genes idnTO e ccmH no seu genoma poderia esclarecer os motivos pelos quais esses foram negativamente selecionados por esse micro-organismo. / Fowl typhoid, caused by Salmonella Gallinarum biovar Gallinarum, is an infectious disease which elicits high mortality into a flock of susceptible birds whereas S. Gallinarum biovar Pullorum, the aetiological agent of pullorum disease, infects poultry of commercial importance with which such a bacterium sets off a more permissive host-pathogen interaction. Little is known about the molecular mechanisms driving these distinct interplays with the host. Herein, we aimed at investigating the effect of partial deletions in the idnT (L-idonate / D-gluconate transporter), idnO (5-ketogluconase reductase) and ccmH (heme liase involved in the c-type cytochrome maturation) coding sequences on S. Gallinarum 287/91 (SG287/91) pathogenicity since they are conserved pseudogenes in S. Pullorum genomes. SG∆idnTO, SG∆ccmH and SG∆ccmHidnTO mutant strains were constructed through a one-step inactivation technique, known as Lambda-Red-mediated recombination, and tested on two independent experiments by using a commercial brown egg-producing layer line susceptible to fowl typhoid. On the experiment 1, no changing was observed in the pathogenicity of the mutant strains upon oral inoculation as the infected animals developed typical fowl typhoid clinical signs and died along 12 days post-infection (dpi). In spite of causing 100% mortality, SG∆idnTO and SG∆ccmHidnTO killed all the animals within 48 hours since the clinical signs appearance while SG287/91 did so in 6 days, indicating an increased virulence by these mutant strains. On the experiment 2 every mutant strain were able to invade the host system from the intestine albeit SG∆idnTO and SG∆ccmHidnTO were recovered from livers and SG∆idnTO alone from spleens at higher numbers than was SG287/91, supporting the hypothesis of increased virulence for those clones harbouring the idnTO mutation. Despite the results above, CXCLi2 and IL6 transcription levels during infection by SG∆idnTO and SG∆ccmHidnTO were similar to that induced by SG287/91 in caecal tonsils at 1 and 3 dpi and in spleens at 3 dpi. In contrast, SG∆ccmH trended to stimulate CXCLi2 and IL6 transcription in caecal tonsils at 1 dpi when compared to the negative, control group whereas SG287/91 tended to suppress it, but no statistical significance was found for such an observation. IFNγ mRNA were augmented for all S. Gallinarum strains, mutant or not, but without statistical difference amongst them. These findings indicate that gene decay into idnTO, and at a lesser extent, into ccmH sequences might lead to the loss of fitness by S. Gallinarum, raising an explanation for their maintenance on this bacterium chromosome when the opposite happens to S. Pullorum. Studying the pathogenicity of a S. Pullorum strain possessing both the idnTO and ccmH genes in its genome could bring to light the reasons whereby such genes were negatively selected by this microorganism. / FAPESP: 2013/22920-4 / FAPESP: 2013/26127-7
