Infection of mice with Salmonella typhimurium gives rise to a disease similar to human typhoid fever caused by S. typhi. Since S. typhimurium is a facultative intracellular bacterium, the requirement of B cells in the immune response against S. typhimurium is a longstanding matter of debate. By infecting mice on a susceptible background and deficient in B cells (Igµ-/- mice) with different strains of S. typhimurium, we could for the first time formally clarify the role of B cells in the response against S. typhimurium. Compared with Igµ+/+ mice, LD50 values in Igµ-/- mice were reduced during primary, and particularly secondary, oral infection with virulent S. typhimurium. After systemic infection, Igµ-/- mice cleared attenuated aroA- S. typhimurium, but vaccine-induced protection against systemic infection with virulent S. typhimurium involved both B cell-dependent and -independent effector mechanisms. Thus, B cell-mediated immunity plays a distinct role in control of S. typhimurium in susceptible mice.
