Influence of organic anions on the liberation of penicillinase from Staphylococcus aureus.

ABSTRACT: 1. A further fraction of ;cell-bound exopenicillinase', in addition to that bound ionically to the surface of the cell wall, has been identified in Staphylococcus aureus. 2. Treatment of cells with low concentrations (0.01m) of organic anions liberates part of this exopenicillinase, such liberation being dependent on both time and temperature, but independent of an external supply of energy. 3. Tricarboxylic acids tend to be more effective than dicarboxylic or monocarboxylic, although there are large differences between ionic species even when tested at the same normalities.

Responses of Staphylococcus aureus exposed to HCl and organic acid stress.

Project description:Staphylococcus aureus is an important food poisoning bacterium. In food preservation, acidification is a well-known method. Permeant weak organic acids, like lactic and acetic acids, are known to be more effective against bacteria than inorganic strong acids (e.g., HCl). Growth experiments and metabolic and transcriptional analyses were used to determine the responses of a food pathogenic S. aureus strain exposed to lactic acid, acetic acid, and HCl at pH 4.5. Lactic and acetic acid stress induced a slower transcriptional response and large variations in growth patterns compared with the responses induced by HCl. In cultures acidified with lactic acid, the pH of the medium gradually increased to 7.5 during growth, while no such increase was observed for bacteria exposed to acetic acid or HCl. Staphylococcus aureus increased the pH in the medium mainly through accumulation of ammonium and the removal of acid groups, resulting in increased production of diacetyl (2,3-butanedione) and pyrazines. The results showed flexible and versatile responses of S. aureus to different types of acid stress. As measured by growth inhibition, permeant organic acid stress introduced severe stress compared with the stress caused by HCl. Cells exposed to lactic acid showed specific mechanisms of action in addition to sharing many of the mechanisms induced by HCl stress. Data is also available from http://bugs.sgul.ac.uk/E-BUGS-87

Influence of Staphylococcus aureus strain background on Sa3 phage life cycle switches

Project description:Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) is a known pathogen able to infect humans and animals. Human S. aureus isolates are often associated with carriage of Sa3int prophages combined with loss of beta-hemolysin production due to gene disruption, whereas animal isolates are positive for beta-hemolysin associated with absence of Sa3int prophages. Sa3int prophages are known to contribute to staphylococcal fitness and virulence in human host by providing human-specific virulence factors encoded on the prophage genome. Strain-specific differences in regard to phage transfer, lysogenization and induction are attributable to yet unknown staphylococcal factors specifically influencing prophage gene expression. In this work we used tagRNA-sequencing approach to specifically search for these unknown host factors and differences in prophage gene expression. For this purpose, we established a workflow revealing the first direct comparison for differential gene expression analysis on two distinct single-lysogenic S. aureus isolates. Further, global gene expression patterns were investigated in two S. aureus isolates upon mitomycin C treatment and compared to uninduced conditions. This provides new insights into the tightly linked host-phage interaction network.

Influence of Staphylococcus aureus biofilm infection phase on functional composition of host neutrophils

Project description:Nosocomial infections resulting from growing biofilms on the surface of indwelling medical devices represent a major therapeutic challenge in an aging population. In this context, current models have so far not addressed the synergy between a developing biofilm and the host’s immune response. Here we employed a mouse model for implant-associated infection from Staphylococcus aureus biofilms and, through functional assays, next generation single cell sequencing and spectral flow cytometry, observed a direct influence of the developing biofilms in the phenotype of tissue infiltrating neutrophils over the course of infection. Our results allowed us to differentiate neutrophil subpopulations, identifying some which may be protective of the biofilm and which could be the target for future therapies.
