概要 | OBJECTIVES:Klebsiella spp., an opportunistic infectious organism, is commensal in the nasal and oral cavities of humans. Recently, it has been reported that oral Klebsiella spp. ectopically colonize the intestinal tract and induce the accumulation of intestinal Th1 cells. For oral bacteria to colonize the intestinal tract, they need to compete for nutrients with indigenous intestinal bacteria. Therefore, we focused on mannose, a mucus-derived sugar, and the mannose phosphotransferase system (PTS) (ManXYZ), a mechanism for mannose uptake, in terms of their effects on intestinal colonization and immune responses to Klebsiella spp.METHODS:We generated a Klebsiella manXYZ-deficient strain and investigated whether the utilization of intestinal mucus-derived sugars is associated with the growth. Furthermore, we examine the virulence of this organism in the mouse intestinal tract, especially the ability to colonize the host using competition assay.RESULTS:We found that Klebsiella ManXYZ is a PTS that specifically takes up mannose and glucosamine. Through ManXYZ, mannose was used for bacterial growth and the upregulated production of extracellular polymeric substances. In vivo competition assays showed that mannose metabolism promoted intestinal colonization. However, ManXYZ was not involved in Th1 and Th17 induction in the intestinal tract.CONCLUSION:The fundamental roles of ManXYZ were to ensure that mannose, which is present in the host, is made available for bacterial growth, to promote the production of extracellular polymeric substances, thus facilitating bacterial adaptation to the host environment. |
