Abstract

Role of enterotoxin from Salmonella in pathogenesis is not know. Enterotoxin gene from Salmonella typhimurium(stn) encodes a 29kDa toxin that has no homology to any other known enterotoxins. Expression of stn is enthanced upon contact with epithelial cell but not all strains having the stn gene express Stn, Based on PCR analysis, we found that all 36 clinical strains of Salmonella isolated in Korea tested carried the stn gene. To understand the trgulation of the stn transcription, the expression of stn was studies in vitro. RNA polymerase was purified by polymin P fraction-ation, DNA-agarose affinity chromatography, and Mono-Q ion exchange chromatography from Salmonella. The expression of stn was inhibited by cAMP·CRP complex by about 50%.
