Abstract
Salmonellosis is a zoonotic infection caused by Salmonella enterica serotypes contracted from contaminated products. We hypothesized that competitive exclusion between Salmonella serotypes in neonatal broilers would reduce colonization and affect the host immune response. Day of hatch broilers were randomly allocated to one of six treatment groups: (1) control, which received saline, (2) Salmonella Kentucky (SK) only on day 1 (D1), (3) Salmonella Typhimurium (ST) or Salmonella Enteritidis (SE) only on D1, (4) SK on D1 then ST or SE on day 2 (D2), (5) ST or SE on D1 then SK on D2, and (6) SK and ST or SE concurrently on D1. Salmonella gut colonization and incidence were measured from cecal contents. Livers and spleens were combined and macerated to determine systemic translocation. Relative mRNA levels of interleukin-1β (IL-1β), IL-6, IL-10, IL-18, and gamma interferon (IFN-γ) were measured in cecal tonsils and liver to investigate local and systemic immune responses. When a serotype was administered first, it was able to significantly reduce colonization of the following serotype. Significant changes were found in mRNA expression of cytokines. These results suggest competitive exclusion by Salmonella enterica serotypes affect local and systemic immune responses.

Agglutinating secretory IgA preserves intestinal epithelial cell integrity during apical infection by Shigella flexneri. Infect Immun 2013; 81:3027-34.

Abstract
Shigella flexneri, by invading intestinal epithelial cells (IECs) and inducing inflammatory responses of the colonic mucosa, causes bacillary dysentery. Although M cells overlying Peyer's patches are commonly considered the primary site of entry of S. flexneri, indirect evidence suggests that bacteria can also use IECs as a portal of entry to the lamina propria. Passive delivery of secretory IgA (SIgA), the major immunoglobulin secreted at mucosal surfaces, has been shown to protect rabbits from experimental shigellosis, but no information exists as to its molecular role in maintaining luminal epithelial integrity. We have established that the interaction of virulent S. flexneri with the apical pole of a model intestinal epithelium consisting of polarized Caco-2 cell monolayers resulted in the progressive disruption of the tight junction network and actin depolymerization, eventually resulting in cell death. The lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-specific agglutinating SIgAC5 monoclonal antibody (MAb), but not monomeric IgAC5 or IgGC20 MAbs of the same specificity, achieved protective functions through combined mechanisms, including limitation of the interaction between S. flexneri and epithelial cells, maintenance of the tight junction seal, preservation of the cell morphology, reduction of NF-κB nuclear translocation, and inhibition of proinflammatory mediator secretion. Our results add to the understanding of the function of SIgA-mediated immune exclusion by identifying a mode of action whereby the formation of immune complexes translates into maintenance of the integrity of epithelial cells lining the mucosa. This novel mechanism of protection mediated by SIgA is important to extend the arsenal of effective strategies to fight against S. flexneri mucosal invasion.

Abstract
The small and large intestines contain an abundance of luminal antigens derived from food products and enteric microorganisms. The function of intestinal epithelial cells is tightly regulated by several factors produced by enteric bacteria and the epithelial cells themselves. Epithelial cells actively participate in regulating the homeostasis of intestine, and failure of this function leads to abnormal and host-microbial interactions resulting in the development of intestinal inflammation. Major determinants of host susceptibility against luminal commensal bacteria include genes regulating mucosal immune responses, intestinal barrier function and microbial defense. Of note, it has been postulated that commensal bacterial adhesion and invasion on/into host cells may be strongly involved in the pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). During the intestinal inflammation, the composition of the commensal flora is altered, with increased population of aggressive and detrimental bacteria and decreased populations of protective bacteria. In fact, some pathogenic bacteria, including Adherent-Invasive Escherichia coli, Listeria monocytogenes and Vibrio cholerae are likely to initiate their adhesion to the host cells by expressing accessory molecules such as chitinases and/or chitin-binding proteins on themselves. In addition, several inducible molecules (e.g., chitinase 3-like 1, CEACAM6) are also induced on the host cells (e.g. epithelial cells, lamina proprial macrophages) under inflammatory conditions, and are actively participated in the host-microbial interactions. In this review, we will summarize and discuss the potential roles of these important molecules during the development of acute and chronic inflammatory conditions.

Abstract
The gastrointestinal tract represents the largest mucosal membrane surface in the human body. The immune system in the gut is the first line of host defense against mucosal microbial pathogens and it plays a crucial role in maintaining mucosal homeostasis. Membranous or microfold cells, commonly referred to as microfold cells, are specialized epithelial cells of the gut-associated lymphoid tissues (GALT) and they play a sentinel role for the intestinal immune system by delivering luminal antigens through the follicle-associated epithelium to the underlying immune cells. M cells sample and uptake antigens at their apical membrane, encase them in vesicles to transport them to the basolateral membrane of M cells, and from there deliver antigens to the nearby lymphocytes. On the flip side, some intestinal pathogens exploit M cells as their portal of entry to invade the host and cause infections. In this article, we briefly review our current knowledge on the morphology, development, and function of M cells, with an emphasis on their dual role in the pathogenesis of gut infection and in the development of host mucosal immunity.

Abstract
Despite numerous scientific advances in the past few years regarding the pathogenesis, diagnostic tools and treatment of infectious enteritis, enteric infections remain a serious threat to health worldwide. With globalization of the food supply, the increase in travel, mass food processing and antibiotic resistance, infectious diarrhea has become a critical concern for both developing and developed countries. Oral rehydration therapy has been cited as the most important medical discovery of the century due to the millions of lives that have been saved. However, statistics concerning diarrhea-induced mortality and the highly underestimated morbidity continue to demonstrate the severity of the problem. A more complete understanding of the pathogenesis of infectious diarrhea and potential new vaccines and effective treatments are badly needed. In addition, public health preventive actions, such as early detection of outbreaks, care with food, water and sanitation and, where relevant, immunization, should be considered a priority. This article provides an overview of the epidemiological impact, pathogenesis and new approaches to the management of enteric infections.

Abstract
Intestinal epithelial cell (IEC) activation by non-pathogenic, commensal bacteria was demonstrated to require the presence of immunocompetent cells. In this study, HT-29 and CaCO-2 transwell cultures, reconstituted with CD4+ and CD8+ T cells, CD19+ B cells and CD14high monocytes, were challenged with non-pathogenic Gram negative Escherichia coli and Gram positive lactobacilli. Cytokine expression was analysed by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and enzyme linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA). Expression of tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) and interleukin (IL)-8 mRNA in E. coli or L. sakei challenged IEC was promoted by lymphocyte populations predominantly CD4+ T cells, while monocytes failed to mediate an inflammatory cytokine response. The monocyte phenotype and function were further characterised by flow cytometry and mixed lymphocyte reaction (MLR). During the co-culture with IEC and bacterial stimulated IEC, CD14high peripheral blood monocytes acquired a CD14low CD16low phenotype with reduced expression co-stimulatory (CD80, CD86, CD58) cell surface molecules. Immunosuppressive functions of IEC conditioned CD14low monocytes were demonstrated by the predominant secretion of IL-10 and IL-IRa and their reduced potential to trigger an allogeneic lymphocyte response. In conclusion, IEC contribute to the development of CD14low CD16low monocytes with immunosuppressive function and antagonised a lymphocyte-mediated activation of the intestinal epithelium in response to intestinal and food derived bacteria. These results strengthen the hypothesis that the gut epithelium constitutes an important functional element in the regulation of mucosal immune homeostasis towards commensal bacteria.

Abstract
Leukocytes are recruited from peripheral blood into milk as part of the inflammatory response to mastitis. However, excessive accumulation of inflammatory cells alters the quality of milk and the proteases produced by polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMNs) and macrophages may lead to mammary tissue damage. To investigate PMN recruitment and the kinetics of their intracytoplasmic enzymes in inflammation, we generated mastitis in six cows by intramammary infusion of lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Clinical signs of acute mastitis were observed in all of the cows, and normal status was resumed by 316 h. Intracytoplasmic elastase, collagenase, and cathepsin activities were measured within live cells by flow cytometry in peripheral blood leukocytes and milk PMNs before and during the inflammatory process (at 10 time points between 4 and 316 h). The proportion of immature PMNs was appreciated by CD33 surface labeling measured in flow cytometry. Leukopenia was observed in the peripheral blood 4 h postinfusion, concomitant to an increase in somatic cell counts in milk. CD33(+) PMNs were preferentially recruited from the peripheral blood to milk. Enzymatic activities were detected in PMNs, lymphocytes, and monocytes at levels depending on the cell type, sample nature, and time of collection. Milk PMNs had lower enzymatic activities than peripheral blood PMNs. This study showed that milk PMNs recruited during LPS-induced experimental mastitis have an immature phenotype and significantly lower enzymatic activities than peripheral blood PMNs. This suggests that CD33, an adhesion molecule, may be involved in the egress from blood to milk and that the enzymatic contents of PMNs are partly used during this process.

Abstract
Interleukin 8 (IL-8) is a potent chemotactic and activating agent for human neutrophils and bovine IL-8 is chemotactic for bovine neutrophils; however, it is unclear whether IL-8 activates bovine neutrophils. Two isoforms of human recombinant (hr) IL-8 protein (77 and 72 amino acid) were used to stimulate bovine neutrophils in vitro. Bovine neutrophils exhibited significant migration in the presence of 0.1, 0.5, 1.0 and 5.0ngml(-1) hr IL-8 when incubated for 30min at 37 degrees C in a modified Boyden chamber assay. Both the 77 and 72 aa forms were equally effective in inducing migration in this assay. At the highest doses of IL-8 examined (1 and 5ngml(-1)), migration was similar to migration in the presence of 20% zymosan-activated serum (ZAS) or 12h lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated blood monocyte supernatants (CM). Significant (p<0. 05) release of alkaline phosphatase (ALK-P) (from specific granules) occurred but myeloperoxidase (MPO) release and superoxide anion production were not enhanced in bovine neutrophils by either form of hrIL-8 at any of the doses tested. Significant (p<0.05) alkaline phosphatase release was observed in the presence of 10 and 100ngml(-1) for the 72 aa form of IL-8 and only at the higher dose for the 77 aa form of IL-8. The ZAS and CM significantly enhanced neutrophil degranulation of ALK-P and MPO as well as inducing superoxide anion production. These results suggest that IL-8 may play a role in both neutrophil recruitment and activation during bovine inflammatory processes.

Abstract
Diarrhea, defined as loose stools, occurs when the intestine does not complete absorption of electrolytes and water from luminal contents. This can happen when a nonabsorbable, osmotically active substance is ingested ("osmotic diarrhea") or when electrolyte absorption is impaired ("secretory diarrhea"). Most cases of acute and chronic diarrhea are due to the latter mechanism. Secretory diarrhea can result from bacterial toxins, reduced absorptive surface area caused by disease or resection, luminal secretagogues (such as bile acids or laxatives), circulating secretagogues (such as various hormones, drugs, and poisons), and medical problems that compromise regulation of intestinal function. Evaluation of patients with secretory diarrhea must be tailored to find the likely causes of this problem. Specific and nonspecific treatment can be valuable.

Abstract
Mutants of Salmonella typhimurium lacking DNA adenine methylase are attenuated for virulence in BALB/c mice. LD(50) values of a DNA adenine methylation (Dam)(-) mutant are at least 10(3)- to 10(4)-fold higher than those of the parental strain when administrated by oral or intraperitoneal routes. Dam(-) mutants are unable to proliferate in target organs but persist in low numbers in these locations. Efficient protection to challenge with the virulent parental strain is observed in mice infected with a Dam(-) mutant. Use of the ileal loop assay shows that Dam(-) mutants are less cytotoxic to M cells and fail to invade enterocytes. In the tissue culture model, lack of DNA adenine methylation causes reduced ability to invade nonphagocytic cells. In contrast, no effect is observed either in intracellular proliferation within nonphagocytic cells or in survival within macrophages. The invasion defect of Dam(-) mutants is correlated with a distinct pattern of secreted proteins, which is observed in both PhoP(+) and PhoP(-) backgrounds. Altogether, our observations suggest a multifactorial role of Dam methylation in Salmonella virulence.
