Metabolomics Comparison of Drug-Resistant and Drug-Susceptible Pseudomonas aeruginosa Strain (Intra- and Extracellular Analysis).

ABSTRACT: Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a common human pathogen belonging to the ESKAPE group. The multidrug resistance of bacteria is a considerable problem in treating patients and may lead to increased morbidity and mortality rate. The natural resistance in these organisms is caused by the production of specific enzymes and biofilm formation, while acquired resistance is multifactorial. Precise recognition of potential antibiotic resistance on different molecular levels is essential. Metabolomics tools may aid in the observation of the flux of low molecular weight compounds in biochemical pathways yielding additional information about drug-resistant bacteria. In this study, the metabolisms of two P. aeruginosa strains were compared-antibiotic susceptible vs. resistant. Analysis was performed on both intra- and extracellular metabolites. The ¹H NMR method was used together with multivariate and univariate data analysis, additionally analysis of the metabolic pathways with the FELLA package was performed. The results revealed the differences in P. aeruginosa metabolism of drug-resistant and drug-susceptible strains and provided direct molecular information about P. aeruginosa response for different types of antibiotics. The most significant differences were found in the turnover of amino acids. This study can be a valuable source of information to complement research on drug resistance in P. aeruginosa.

Dissemination of transposon Tn6001 in carbapenem-non-susceptible and extensively drug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa in Taiwan.

Project description:OBJECTIVES: To investigate the prevalence of metallo-beta-lactamases (MBLs) and Tn6001 in carbapenem-non-susceptible Pseudomonas aeruginosa (CNSPA). The CNSPA included extensively drug-resistant P. aeruginosa (XDRPA) and non-XDRPA isolates in Taiwan. METHODS: A total of 308 CNSPA isolates collected at a medical centre from 2000 to 2005 and 26 XDRPA collected from six medical centres in different regions of Taiwan in 2003 were included. MBL genes and Tn6001 were detected by PCR. Clonal relatedness was determined by PFGE. RESULTS: Of the 308 CNSPA isolates, 30 (10%) were XDRPA, including 27 (9%) colistin-only-susceptible (COS) and 3 (1%) colistin-only-intermediate (COI) P. aeruginosa. bla(VIM-3) was found in 16 (53%) isolates of the XDRPA (n = 30), whereas only 72 (26%) of the non-XDRPA (n = 278) carried the gene. In450 was higher in COS P. aeruginosa (12/27; 44%) than in non-XDRPA isolates (53/278; 19%). Tn6001 was highest in COS P. aeruginosa (11/27; 41%), followed by COI P. aeruginosa (1/3; 33%), and lowest in non-XDRPA (46/278; 17%). Of 26 XDRPA from six medical centres, higher prevalences of bla(VIM-3) (16/26; 62%), In450 (16/26; 62%) and Tn6001 (12/26; 46%) were found. Genotyping by PFGE revealed 60 pulsotypes. Hybridization of a bla(VIM-3)-specific probe following PFGE suggested that the mobile element Tn6001 might have transferred horizontally. CONCLUSIONS: Tn6001 and In450 play an important role in the dissemination of CNSPA and XDRPA. The prevalence of these genetic constituents was higher in XDRPA than in non-XDRPA isolates, suggesting that the mobile element Tn6001 might have transferred horizontally.

Metabolomics Study of the Synergistic Killing of Polymyxin B in Combination with Amikacin against Polymyxin-Susceptible and -Resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

Project description:In the present study, we employed untargeted metabolomics to investigate the synergistic killing mechanism of polymyxin B in combination with an aminoglycoside, amikacin, against a polymyxin-susceptible isolate of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, FADDI-PA111 (MIC = 2 mg/liter for both polymyxin B and amikacin), and a polymyxin-resistant Liverpool epidemic strain (LES), LESB58 (the corresponding MIC for both polymyxin B and amikacin is 16 mg/liter). The metabolites were extracted 15 min, 1 h, and 4 h following treatment with polymyxin B alone (2 mg/liter for FADDI-PA111; 4 mg/liter for LESB58), amikacin alone (2 mg/liter), and both in combination and analyzed using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS). At 15 min and 1 h, polymyxin B alone induced significant perturbations in glycerophospholipid and fatty acid metabolism pathways in FADDI-PA111 and, to a lesser extent, in LESB58. Amikacin alone at 1 and 4 h induced significant perturbations in peptide and amino acid metabolism, which is in line with the mode of action of aminoglycosides. Pathway analysis of FADDI-PA111 revealed that the synergistic effect of the combination was largely due to the inhibition of cell envelope biogenesis, which was driven initially by polymyxin B via suppression of key metabolites involved in lipopolysaccharide, peptidoglycan, and membrane lipids (15 min and 1 h) and later by amikacin (4 h). Overall, these novel findings demonstrate that the disruption of cell envelope biogenesis and central carbohydrate metabolism, decreased levels of amino sugars, and a downregulated nucleotide pool are the metabolic pathways associated with the synergistic killing of the polymyxin-amikacin combination against P. aeruginosa This mechanistic study might help optimize synergistic polymyxin B combinations in the clinical setting.

Effects of Glycyrrhizin on Multi-Drug Resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

Project description:The effects of glycyrrhizin (GLY) on multi-drug resistant (MDR) systemic (MDR9) vs. ocular (B1045) Pseudomonas aeruginosa clinical isolates were determined. Proteomes of each isolate with/without GLY treatment were profiled using liquid chromatography mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). The effect of GLY on adherence of MDR isolates to immortalized human (HCET) and mouse (MCEC) corneal epithelial cells, and biofilm and dispersal was tested. Both isolates were treated with GLY (0.25 minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC), 10 mg/mL for MDR9 and 3.75 mg/mL for B1045) and subjected to proteomic analysis. MDR9 had a greater response to GLY (51% of identified proteins affected vs. <1% in B1045). In MDR9 vs. controls, GLY decreased the abundance of proteins for: antibiotic resistance, biofilm formation, and type III secretion. Further, antibiotic resistance and type III secretion proteins had higher control abundances in MDR9 vs. B1045. GLY (5 and 10 mg/mL) significantly reduced binding of both isolates to MCEC, and B1045 to HCET. MDR9 binding to HCET was only reduced at 10 mg/mL GLY. GLY (5 and 10 mg/mL) enhanced dispersal for both isolates, at early (6.5 h) but not later times (24-72 h). This study provides evidence that GLY has a greater effect on the proteome of MDR9 vs. B1045, yet it was equally effective at disrupting adherence and early biofilm dispersal.

Intra- and extracellular activities of trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole against susceptible and multidrug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis.

Project description:We investigated the activity of trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (SXT) against Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the pathogen that causes tuberculosis (TB). The MIC distribution of SXT was 0.125/2.4 to 2/38 mg/liter for the 100 isolates tested, including multi- and extensively drug-resistant isolates (MDR/XDR-TB), whereas the intracellular MIC90 of sulfamethoxazole (SMX) for the pansusceptible strain H37Rv was 76 mg/liter. In an exploratory analysis using a ratio of the unbound area under the concentration-time curve from 0 to 24 h over MIC (fAUC0-24/MIC) using ≥ 25 as a potential target, the cumulative fraction response was ≥ 90% at doses of ≥ 2,400 mg of SMX. SXT is a potential treatment option for MDR/XDR-TB.

Carbapenem-Resistant but Cephalosporin-Susceptible Pseudomonas aeruginosa in Urinary Tract Infections: Opportunity for Colistin Sparing.

Project description:This paper briefly reports the occurrence and epidemiology of carbapenem-resistant but cephalosporin-susceptible (Car-R/Ceph-S) Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates from urinary tract infections (UTIs) in a tertiary-care hospital in the Southern Region of Hungary, and the phenotypic characterization of the possible resistance mechanisms in these isolates. Isolates and data were collected regarding P. aeruginosa UTIs corresponding to the period between 2008 and 2017. Susceptibility testing was performed using the Kirby-Bauer disk diffusion method; minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of the isolates were determined using E-tests. The phenotypic detection of ampicillin C-type (AmpC) ?-lactamases, efflux pump overexpression and carbapenemase production was also performed. P. aeruginosa represented n = 575 (2.72% ± 0.64%) from outpatient, and n = 1045 (5.43% ± 0.81%) from inpatient urinary samples, respectively. Based on the disk diffusion test, n = 359 (22.16%) were carbapenem-resistant; in addition to carbapenems, n = (64.34%) were also resistant to ciprofloxacin; n = (60.17%) to gentamicin/tobramycin; n = (58.51%) to levofloxacin; and n = (27.57%) to amikacin. From among the carbapenem-resistant isolates, n = 56 (15.59%) isolates were multidrug-resistant, while n = 16 (4.46%) were extensively drug-resistant. From among the Car-R/Ceph-S isolates (n = 57), overexpression of AmpC was observed in n = 7 cases (12.28%); carbapenemase production in n = 4 (7.02%); while overexpression of efflux pumps was present in n = 31 (54.39%) isolates. To spare last-resort agents, e.g., colistin, the use of broad-spectrum cephalosporins or safe, alternative agents should be considered in these infections.

Virulence Constitution of Multi-Drug-Resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa in Upper Egypt.

Project description:Purpose:Ventilator-associated pneumonia caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa) is a major health-care problem. In this study, we explored the epidemiology of virulence determinants among multi-drug-resistant (MDR) clinical P. aeruginosa isolates from hospitalized patients with ventilator-associated pneumonia in intensive care units in Upper Egypt. Patients and Methods:MDR P. aeruginosa isolates were screened for the presence of eight virulence factors and typed by ERIC-PCR. Results:A total of 39 clinical MDR isolates were selected out of 173 isolated P. aeruginosa showing a combination of adhesion and cytotoxicity virulence patterns, with the detection of aprA, exoU, exoS, lasB, algD, toxA in 74.3%, 58.9%, 46.1%, 41.2%, 30.7%, 20.5% of the isolates, respectively. The MDR isolates were grouped into 13 different virulence profiles according to the pattern of virulence gene distribution. exoU genotype was more predominant among the P. aeruginosa isolates with more than 48% of the isolates harboring this gene alone, 7% harboring both exoU and exoS and 43.5% harboring exoS gene. An intermediate degree of diversity was detected by ERIC-PCR typing where the isolates were clustered in 7 major groups, indicating possible cross-infection within the hospital. Conclusion:Our results highlight the increased frequency of virulent P. aeruginosa isolates with a shift to the more virulent cytotoxic exoU genotype. Further hospital infection-control measures are mandatory to control the hospital cross-transmission of these highly virulent isolates. This study could vastly be a help to develop efficient treatment policies against P. aeruginosa induced ventilator-associated pneumonia.

Effect of Biosynthesized ZnO Nanoparticles on Multi-Drug Resistant Pseudomonas Aeruginosa.

Project description:Synthesis of nanoparticles using the plants has several advantages over other methods due to the environmentally friendly nature of plants. Besides being environmentally friendly, the synthesis of nanoparticles using plants or parts of the plants is also cost effective. The present study focuses on the biosynthesis of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) using the seed extract of Butea monsoperma and their effect on to the quorum-mediated virulence factors of multidrug-resistant clinical isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa at sub minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC). The synthesized ZnO NPs were characterized by different techniques, such as Fourier transform infra-red spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray (EDX), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The average size of the nanoparticles was 25 nm as analyzed by TEM. ZnO NPs at sub MIC decreased the production of virulence factors such as pyocyanin, protease and hemolysin for P. aeruginosa (p ≤ 0.05). The interaction of NPs with the P. aeruginosa cells on increasing concentration of NPs at sub MIC levels showed greater accumulation of nanoparticles inside the cells as analyzed by TEM.

Epidemiology and risk factors of extensively drug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa infections.

Project description:BackgroundThe incidence of nosocomial infections from extensively drug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa (XDR-PA) has been increasing worldwide. We investigated the prevalence and factors associated with XDR-PA infections, including the factors that predict mortality.MethodsWe retrospectively studied a cohort of adult, hospitalized patients with P. aeruginosa (PA) infections between April and December 2014.ResultsOf the 255 patients with PA infections, 56 (22%) were due to XDR-PA, 32 (12.5%) to multidrug resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa (MDR-PA), and 167 (65.5%) to non-MDR PA. Receiving total parenteral nutrition (adjusted OR [aOR] 6.21; 95% CI 1.05-36.70), prior carbapenem use (aOR 4.88; 95% CI 2.36-10.08), and prior fluoroquinolone use (aOR 3.38; 95% CI 1.44-7.97) were independently associated with the XDR-PA infections. All XDR-PA remained susceptible to colistin. Factors associated with mortality attributable to the infections were the presence of sepsis/septic shock (aOR 11.60; 95% CI 4.66-28.82), admission to a medical department (aOR 4.67; 95% CI 1.81-12.06), receiving a central venous catheter (aOR 3.78; 95% CI 1.50-9.57), and XDR-PA infection (aOR 2.73; 95% CI 1.05-7.08).ConclusionThe prevalence of XDR-PA infections represented almost a quarter of Pseudomonas aeruginosa hospital-acquired infections and rendered a higher mortality. The prompt administration of an appropriate empirical antibiotic should be considered when an XDR-PA infection is suspected.
