We tested the hypothesis that host resistance to Campylobacter jejuni is Nramp1 dependent. Following intraperitoneal (IP) inoculation of Nramp1+/+ and isogenic Nramp1-deficient (Nramp1-/-) mice C. jejuni primarily associated with mac1-positive cells in liver tissue. A significant reduction of C. jejuni was observed in Nramp1+/+ mice 4 days post-infection (PI) (liver) and 8 days PI cecum-colon. In contrast, Nramp1-/- mice showed no significant reduction of C. jejuni and instead had a chronic inflammatory response and significant histopathological lesions 30 days PI. Differential cytokine profiles were observed in C. jejuni infected Nramp1+/+ and Nramp1-/- primary dendritic cells. Taken together these data indicate that Nramp1 is critical for host resistance to C. jejuni.
