Bile-induced biofilm formation in Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron requires magnesium efflux by an RND pump

ABSTRACT: The study is about the role of Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron in the human gut microbiota, specifically its ability to form biofilms in response to bile salts. The study found that bile induces the expression of certain efflux pumps, and inhibiting these pumps impairs biofilm formation. Among the induced pumps, the BipABC pump is crucial for biofilm formation as it is involved in the efflux of magnesium, which affects the biofilm's extracellular matrix and structure. This discovery sheds light on how intestinal chemical cues, like bile salts, regulate biofilm formation in B. thetaiotaomicron, a significant gut symbiont.

P. aeruginosa PAO wildtype Cy3 PA3898 mutant Cy5

Project description:We present here a transcriptional regulator, PA3898, which controls biofilm formation and multidrug efflux-pumps in P. aeruginosa. A mutant of this regulator significantly reduced the ability of P. aeruginosa to produce biofilm in vitro, and affected its in vivo fitness and pathogenesis in Drosophila melanogaster and BALB/c mouse lung infection models. Transcriptome analysis revealed that PA3898 modulates essential virulence genes/pathways, including multidrug efflux-pumps and phenazine biosynthesis.

Bile salts in Acinetobacter baumannii clinical strains with lack of AdeABC efflux pump

Project description:Few are the studies that analyzed the molecular features implicated to the tolerance to bile salts by A.baumannii clinical strains. Interestingly, Ab421 GEIH-2010 strain (belonging to ST79/PFGE-HUI-1 clone constitute by isolates with lacking of the AdeABC efflux pump) and A.baumannii ∆adeB ATCC 17978 showed higher tolerance to bile salts by the expression of the glutamate/aspartate transporter as well as virulence factors (Type VI Secretion System, twitching motility and biofilm) associated to the activation of the Quorum Sensing system.

Pain-killer carprofen elicits pleiotropic modes of bactericidal action with potential to reverse antimicrobial resistance in tuberculosis.

Project description:The alarming rise of antimicrobial resistance in Mycobacterium tuberculosis coupled with the shortage of new antibiotics has made tuberculosis (TB) control a global health priority. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) inhibit the growth of multi-drug resistant isolates of M. tuberculosis. Repurposing NSAIDs, with known clinical properties and safety records, offers a direct route to clinical trials. Therefore we investigated the novel mechanisms of anti-mycobacterial action of the NSAID, carprofen. Integrative molecular and microbiological approaches revealed that carprofen, a bactericidal drug, inhibited bacterial drug efflux mechanisms. In addition, carprofen restricted mycobacterial biofilm-like growth, highlighting the requirement of efflux-mediated communicative systems for the formation of biofilms. Transcriptome profiling revealed that carprofen likely acts by inhibiting respiration through the disruption of membrane potential, which may explain why spontaneous drug-resistant mutants could not be raised due to the pleiotropic nature of carprofen’s anti-tubercular action. This immunomodulatory drug has the potential to reverse TB antimicrobial resistance by inhibiting drug efflux pumps and biofilm formation, and paves a new chemotherapeutic path for tackling tuberculosis.

Gene expression of E. coli MG1655 at attachment, colony formation and maturation during biofilm formation

Project description:Gene expression changes during biofilm formation processes were investigated. The gene expression was compared at attachment, colony formation and maturation during biofilm formation. At the same time, the gene expressions were also compared with exponential phase and stationary phase in planktonic cells. The gene expression pattern at attachment and colony formation processes showed similar pattern with those in planktonic exponential phase, and the gene expression pattern at maturation process showed similar pattern with those in planktonic stationary phase. During the maturation process, metabolic activities of the cells in the biofilms decreased, and the genes involved in the anaerobic respiration and efflux pumps were induced. The analysis revealed that gene expression pattern was changed and the physiological states were changed dramatically during maturation process in the biofilms. Keywords: time course

The Bile Response Repressor, BreR, Regulates Expression of the Vibrio cholerae breAB Efflux System Operon

Project description:Enteric pathogens have developed several resistance mechanisms to survive the antimicrobial action of bile. We investigated the transcriptional profile of Vibrio cholerae O1 El Tor strain C6706 under virulence gene inducing conditions, in the presence and absence of bile. Microarray analysis revealed that the expression of 119 genes was affected by bile. The mRNA levels of genes encoding proteins involved in transport was increased in the presence of bile, whereas mRNA levels of genes encoding proteins involved in pathogenesis and chemotaxis was decreased. This study identified genes encoding transcriptional regulators from the TetR family (vexR and breR) and multidrug efflux pumps from the RND superfamily (vexB and vexD [here renamed breB]) that were induced in response to bile. Further analysis regarding vexAB and breAB expression in the presence of various antimicrobial compounds established that vexAB was induced in the presence of bile, SDS or novobiocin, whereas induction of breAB was specific to bile. BreR is a direct repressor of the breAB promoter and is able to autoregulate its own expression, as demonstrated by transcriptional and electrophoretic mobility shift assays (EMSA). Expression of breR and breAB is induced in the presence of the bile salts cholate, deoxycholate or chenodeoxycholate and EMSA showed that deoxycholate is able to abolish formation of BreR-PbreR complexes. We propose that deoxycholate is able to interact with BreR and induce a conformational change that will interfere with its DNA binding ability resulting in breAB and breR expression. These results provide new insight into a transcriptional regulator and a transport system that likely play an essential role in the ability of Vibrio cholerae to resist the action of bile in the host.

c-di-AMP signaling is required for bile salts resistance and long-term colonization by Clostridioides difficile

Project description:In this study, we showed for the first time that c-di-AMP is produced by C. difficile and controls the uptake of potassium, making it essential for growth. We found that c-di-AMP is involved in biofilm formation, cell wall homeostasis, osmotolerance as well as detergent and bile salt resistance in C. difficile. We identified BusR as a new regulator that binds c-di-AMP and represses the expression of the compatible solute transporter BusAA-AB. Interestingly, a busR mutant is highly resistant to a hyperosmotic or bile salt stress compared to the parental strain while a busAA mutant is more susceptible. A short exposure of C. difficile cells to bile salts resulted in a decrease of the c-di-AMP concentrations reinforcing the hypothesis that changes in membrane characteristics due to variations of the cellular turgor or membrane damages constitute a signal for the adjustment of the intracellular c-di-AMP concentration. In a colonization mouse model, a strain producing elevated c-di-AMP concentrations failed to persist in the gut in contrast to the parental strain. Thus, c-di-AMP is a signaling molecule with pleiotropic effects that controls osmolyte uptake to confer osmotolerance and bile salt resistance in C. difficile and that is important for colonization of the host.

A bile metabolite atlas reveals infection-triggered interorgan mediators of intestinal homeostasis and defense

Project description:An essential function of the liver is the formation of bile. This aqueous solution is critical for fat absorption and is transported to the duodenum via the common bile duct. Despite extensive studies of bile salts, other components of bile are less well-charted. Here, we characterized the murine bile metabolome and investigated how the microbiota and enteric infection influence bile composition. We discovered that the bile metabolome is not only substantially more complex than appreciated but is dynamic and responsive to the microbiota and enteric infection. Hepatic transcriptomics identified enteric infection-triggered pathways that likely underlie bile remodeling. Enteric infections stimulated elevation of four dicarboxylates in bile that modulated intestinal gut epithelial and microbiota composition, inflammasome activation, and host defense. Our data suggest that enteric infection-associated signals are relayed between the intestine and liver and induce transcriptional programs that shape the bile metabolome, modifying bile’s immunomodulatory and host defense functions.
