Objective of the study was to identify the differences in the production of proteins in typical strain and genetically altered variant of V. cholerae O1, biovar El Tor.Materials and methods. Natural strains M1062 (Astrakhan, 1970) and M1509 (Moscow, 2010) were used as model strains in this work. Strains were cultivated on Luria Bertani agar at 37 °C. Electrophoresis was performed in accordance with W.K. Laemmli technique (1970), mass-spectrometric profiling – the method described by A. Shevchenko et al.Results and discussion. Mass-spectrometric scanning of cell lysates of the examined strains showed significant similarity of their proteomes (615 common proteins). The identified differences pertained to high expression of proteins in the strain M1062, participating in biosynthesis of DNA/RNA, included into “purines, pyrimidines, nucleosides” group, as well as regulatory proteins. In M1509 strain, biosynthesis of the proteins responsible for pathogenesis, adaptation under the influence of unfavorable environmental factors, included into “co-factors, vitamins, pigments” group, involved in lipid, carbohydrate, and protein metabolism, cellular processes, as well as proteins-transporters was increased. It has been suggested that the wide dissemination of El Tor genovariants is probably due to enhanced pathogenic and adaptive properties and also to the considerable transformation of cell  metabolism.

No período de 1992 a 1994, foram analisadas 2.585 amostras de águas de diferentes ecossistemas, acrescidas de 91 espécimens de alimentos visando ao monitoramento de Vibrio cholerae O1 no Estado de Pernambuco. Nas 2.676 amostras foram detectadas 193 cepas de Vibrio cholerae O1 (7,21%) com predominância do sorovar Inaba (183-94,8%) sobre Ogawa (10-5,1%), todas classificadas no biotipo El Tor e sensíveis à tetraciclina. Numa parcela de setenta amostras selecionadas ao acaso, mas incluindo todas do sorovar Ogawa, foi evidenciada a produção de toxina colérica. A maior incidência do vibrião colérico em águas de rios, canais e de esgoto, representando 86% dos isolados, indicou a contaminação fecal por excretores como a causa preponderante na disseminação da bactéria nos sistemas aquáticos. Assinala-se a discreta ocorrrência de V. cholerae O1 nos alimentos processados (2,1%).

ABSTRACT Recently we described the isolation of spontaneous bacteriophage K139-resistant Vibrio cholerae O1 El Tor mutants. In this study, we identified phage-resistant isolates with intact O antigen but altered core oligosaccharide which were also affected in galactose catabolism; this strains have mutations in the galU gene. We inactivated another gal gene, galE, and the mutant was also found to be defective in the catabolism of exogenous galactose but synthesized an apparently normal lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Both gal mutants as well as a rough LPS (R-LPS) mutant were investigated for the ability to colonize the mouse small intestine. The galU and R-LPS mutants, but not thegalE mutant, were defective in colonization, a phenotype also associated with O-antigen-negative mutants. By investigating several parameters in vitro, we could show that galU and R-LPS mutants were more sensitive to short-chain organic acids, cationic antimicrobial peptides, the complement system, and bile salts as well as other hydrophobic agents, indicating that their outer membrane no longer provides an effective barrier function. O-antigen-negative strains were found to be sensitive to complement and cationic peptides, but they displayed significant resistance to bile salts and short-chain organic acids. Furthermore, we found thatgalU and galE are essential for the formation of a biofilm in a spontaneous phage-resistant rugose variant, suggesting that the synthesis of UDP-galactose via UDP-glucose is necessary for biosynthesis of the exopolysaccharide. In addition, we provide evidence that the production of exopolysaccharide limits the access of phage K139 to its receptor, the O antigen. In conclusion, our results indicate involvement of galU in V. cholerae virulence, correlated with the observed change in LPS structure, and a role for galU and galE in environmental survival of V. cholerae.
