| Title | The nitric oxide reductase of enterohaemorrhagic Escherichia coli plays an important role for the survival within macrophages. |

| Abstract |
In enterohaemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) O157, there are two types of anaerobic nitric oxide (NO) reductase genes, an intact gene (norV) and a 204 bp deletion gene (norVs). Epidemiological analysis has revealed that norV-type EHEC are more virulent than norVs-type EHEC. Thus, to reveal the role of NO reductase during EHEC infection, we constructed isogenic norV-type and norVs-type EHEC mutant strains. Under anaerobic conditions, the norV-type EHEC was protected from NO-mediated growth inhibition, while the norVs-type EHEC mutant strain was not, suggesting that NorV of EHEC was effective in the anaerobic detoxification. We then investigated the role of NO reductase within macrophages. The norV-type EHEC produced a lower NO level within macrophages compared with the norVs-type EHEC. Moreover, the norV-type EHEC resulted in higher levels of Shiga toxin 2 (Stx2) within macrophages compared with the norVs-type EHEC. Finally, the norV-type EHEC showed a better level of survival than the norVs-type EHEC. These data suggest that the intact norV gene plays an important role for the survival of EHEC within macrophages, and is a direct virulence determinant of EHEC. |
