dc.description.abstract | infected with multiple pathogens rather than a single pathogen. While different pathogens have their impact on morbidity and mortality, co-infection of more than one pathogen usually made the disease outcome different. Many studies reported the co-infection of Schistosoma with Salmonella in pandemic areas. However, the link or the underlying mechanism in the pathogenesis caused by Schistosoma-Salmonella co-infection is still unknown. Methods: In this study, Salmonella typhimurium (S. typhimurium) was challenged to Schistosoma mansoni (S. mansoni)-infected mice. Further experiments such as bacterial culture, histopathological examination, western blotting, and flow cytometry were performed to evaluate the outcomes of the infection. Cytokine responses of the mice were also determined by ELISA and real-time quantitative PCR. Results: Our results demonstrated that co-infected mice resulted in higher bacterial excretion in the acute phase but higher bacterial colonization in the chronic phase. Lesser egg burden was also observed during chronic schistosomiasis. Infection with S. typhimurium during schistosomiasis induces activation of the inflammasome and apoptosis, thereby leading to more drastic tissue damage. Interestingly, co-infected mice showed a lower fibrotic response in the liver and spleen. Further, co-infection alters the immunological functioning of the mice, possibly the reason for the observed pathological outcomes. Conclusion: Collectively, our findings here demonstrated that S. mansoni-infected mice challenged with S. typhimurium altered their immunological responses, thereby leading to different pathological outcomes. | en_US |
