Different S. enterica serovars cause disease syndromes ranging from self-limited gastroenteritis to typhoid fever and vary in their repertoire of effectors. We leveraged this natural diversity to identify stm2585, here designated sarA (Salmonella anti-inflammatory response activator), as a Salmonella effector secreted primary by the SPI-2 type III secretion system. SarA is necessary and sufficient to induce STAT3 phosphorylation and IL-10 production, contributing to intracellular replication in vitro and bacterial load at systemic sites in mice. These results demonstrate that Salmonella has evolved effector mechanisms for regulating a host anti-inflammatory signaling pathway important in infection, autoimmunity, and cancer.
