An Ribonuclease T2 Family Protein Modulates Acinetobacter baumannii Abiotic Surface Colonization

ABSTRACT: A. baumannii has the propensity to colonize abiotic surfaces and this is thought to mediate its transmission to susceptible patients. We found that disruption of A. baumannii ribonuclease T2 family protein (ATCC 17978 locus A1S_3026) severely diminishes the organism's ability to colonize abiotic surfaces. We used Affymetrix A. baumannii GeneChips (part number PMDACBA1) to compare the gene expression properties of wild type and isogenic ribonuclease T2 family protein mutant cells. A. baumanni strain 98-37-09 (wild type) or isogenic ACJ7 (harboring a EZ-Tn5 insertion in A1S_3026) cells were grown to mid-exponential phase growth in Luria Burtani medium, total bacterial RNA was isolated and subjected to GeneChip hybridization and analysis. We sought to determine the regulatory effects of A1S_3026.

Expression Data from Acinetobacter baumannii strain ATCC 17978 and isogenic lpsB mutant cells

Project description:lpsB encodes a glycosyltransferase involved in lipopolysaccharide (LPS) synthesis. LPS is a major component of the Gram-negative bacterial outer membranes. We used custom-made Affymetrix A. baumannii strain ATCC 17978 derived GeneChips to compare the gene expression properties of wild type and isogenic lpsB mutant cells. Two mutants were evaluated; A. baumannii strain 5A7 is a ATCC 17978 derivative harboring a transposon (Tn5) within lpsB (A1S_0430 locus); A. baumannii strain containing a deletion of lpsB (A1S_0430). A. baumannii strain ATCC 17978, 5A7 (lpsB:Tn5) or IH1∆lpsB (∆lpsB) were grown to mid-exponential phase growth, total bacterial RNA was isolated and subjected to GeneChip hybridization and analysis. We sought to determine the transcription profile of lpsB mutated cells.

Mucin Acts as a Nutrient Source and a Signal for the Differential Expression of Genes Coding for Cellular Processes and Virulence Factors in Acinetobacter baumannii

Project description:The capacity of Acinetobacter baumannii to persist and cause infections depends on its interaction with abiotic and biotic surfaces, including those found on medical devices and host mucosal surfaces. However, the extracellular stimuli affecting these interactions are poorly understood. Based on our previous observations, we hypothesized that mucin, a glycoprotein secreted by lung epithelial cells, particularly during respiratory infections, significantly alters A. baumannii’s physiology and its interaction with the surrounding environment. Biofilm, virulence and growth assays showed that mucin enhances the interaction of A. baumannii ATCC 19606T with abiotic and biotic surfaces and its cytolytic activity against epithelial cells while serving as a nutrient source. The global effect of mucin on the physiology and virulence of this pathogen is supported by RNA-Seq data showing that its presence results in the differential transcription of 427 predicted protein-coding genes. The reduced expression of ion acquisition genes and the increased transcription of genes coding for energy production together with the detection of mucin degradation indicate that this host glycoprotein is a nutrient source. The increased expression of genes coding for adherence and biofilm biogenesis on abiotic and biotic surfaces, the degradation of phenylacetic acid and the production of an active type 6 secretion system further supports the role mucin plays in virulence. Taken together, our observations indicate that A. baumannii recognizes mucin as an environmental signal, which triggers a response cascade that allows this pathogen to acquire critical nutrients and promotes host-pathogen interactions that play a critical role in the pathogenesis of bacterial infections.

The response to desiccation in Acinetobacter baumannii

Project description:The long-term resistance to desiccation on abiotic surfaces is a key determinant of the adaptive success of Acinetobacter baumannii as a healthcare-associated bacterial pathogen. Here, the cellular and molecular mechanisms enabling A. baumannii to resist desiccation and persist on abiotic surfaces were investigated. Experiments were set up to mimic the A. baumannii response to air-drying that would occur when bacterial cells contaminate fomites in hospitals. Resistance to desiccation and transition to the “viable but nonculturable” (VBNC) state were determined in the laboratory-adapted strain ATCC 19606T and the epidemic strain ACICU. Culturability, membrane integrity, metabolic activity, virulence, and gene expression profile were compared between the two strains at different stages of desiccation. Upon desiccation, ATCC 19606T and ACICU cells lose culturability and membrane integrity, lower their metabolism, and enter the VBNC state. However, desiccated A. baumannii cells fully recover culturability and virulence in an insect infection model following rehydration in physiological buffers or human biological fluids. Transcriptome and chemical analyses of A. baumannii cells during desiccation unveiled the production of protective metabolites (L-cysteine and L-glutamate) and decreased energetic metabolism consequent to activation of the glyoxylate shunt (GS) pathway, as confirmed by reduced resuscitation efficiency of aceA mutants, lacking the key enzyme of the GS pathway. VBNC cell formation and extensive metabolic reprogramming provide a biological basis for the response of A. baumannii to desiccation, with implications on environmental control measures aimed at preventing the transmission of A. baumannii infection in hospitals.

Aminolipid biosynthesis promotes colistin tolerance in Acinetobacter baumannii

Project description:Acinetobacter baumannii is an ESKAPE pathogen that rapidly develops resistance to antibiotics and persists for extended periods in the host or on abiotic surfaces. Survival in environmental stress such as phosphate scarcity, represents a clinically significant challenge for nosocomial pathogens. In the face of phosphate starvation, certain bacteria encode adaptive strategies, including the substitution of glycerophospholipids with phosphorus-free lipids. In bacteria, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, and cardiolipin are conserved glycerophospholipids that form lipid bilayers. Here, we demonstrate that in response to phosphate limitation, conserved regulatory mechanisms induce aminolipid production in A. baumannii. Specifically, phosphate limitation induces formation of three lipids, including amine-containing ornithine and lysine aminolipids. We show that phospahte limitation induced transcription of the olsB gene. Mutations that inactivate aminolipid biosynthesis exhibit fitness defects relative to wild type in colistin growth and killing assays.
