RNAseq transcriptome analysis of K. pneumoniae MS6671 with PBT2 and colistin

ABSTRACT: The emergence of polymyxin resistance in carbapenem-resistant and extended-spectrum -lactamase (ESBL)-producing bacteria is a critical threat to human health, and new treatment strategies are urgently required. Here, we investigated the ability of the safe-for-human use ionophore PBT2 to restore antibiotic sensitivity in polymyxin-resistant, ESBL-producing, carbapenem-resistant Gram-negative human pathogens. PBT2 was observed to resensitize Klebsiella pneumoniae, Escherichia coli, Acinetobacter baumannii and Pseudomonas aeruginosa to last-resort polymyxin class antibiotics, including the less-toxic next-generation polymyxin derivative, FADDI-287. We were unable to select for mutants resistant to PBT2 + FADDI-287 in polymyxin resistant E. coli containing a plasmid-borne mcr-1 gene or K. pneumoniae carrying a chromosomal mgrB mutation. Using a highly invasive K. pneumoniae strain engineered for polymyxin resistance through mgrB mutation, we successfully demonstrated the efficacy of PBT2 + FADDI-287 in vivo for the treatment of Gram-negative sepsis. These data present a new treatment modality to break antibiotic resistance in high priority polymyxin-resistant Gram-negative pathogens.

RNAseq transcriptome analysis of K. pneumoniae MS6671 and E. coli MS8345 treated with PBT2

Project description:The emergence of colistin resistance in carbapenem-resistant and extended-spectrum ß-lactamase (ESBL)-producing bacteria is a significant threat to human health, and new treatment strategies are urgently required. Here we investigated the ability of the safe-for-human use ionophore PBT2 to restore antibiotic sensitivity in several polymyxin-resistant, ESBL-producing, carbapenem resistant Gram-negative human pathogens. PBT2 was observed to resensitize Klebsiella pneumoniae, Escherichia coli, Acinetobacter baumannii, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa to last-resort polymyxin class antibiotics, including a ‘next generation’ polymyxin derivative, FADDI-287. To gain additional insight into the potential mechanism of action of PBT2, we analyzed the transcriptome of K. pneumoniae and E. coli in the presence of sub-inhibitory concentrations of PBT2. Treatment with PBT2 was associated with multiple stress responses in both K. pneumoniae and E. coli. Significant changes in the transcription of transition metal ion homeostasis genes were observed in both strains.

The Impact of the CpxA on Regulating Polymyxin B Resistance in Salmonella Typhimurium

Project description:Polymyxin B is considered as a last-resort antibiotic for multidrug-resistant or extensively drug-resistant gram-negative bacterial infections. Addressing Salmonella resistance to polymyxin B is crucial for global public health. In this study, transcriptomic detection and analysis were used to clarify the mechanisms by which CpxA-deleted S.typhimurium is involved in resistance to polymyxin B stress, which may be related to processes such as increased assembly of bacterial flagella.

Network integrative genomic and transcriptomic analysis of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae strains identifies genes for resistance and virulence

Project description:With the global increase in the use of carbapenems, several gram-negative bacteria have acquired carbapenem resistance, thereby limiting treatment options. Klebsiella pneumoniae is one of such notorious pathogen that is being widely studied to find novel resistance mechanisms and drug targets. These antibiotic-resistant clinical isolates generally harbor many genetic alterations, and identification of causal mutations will provide insights into the molecular mechanisms of antibiotic resistance. We propose a method to prioritize mutated genes responsible for antibiotic resistance, in which mutated genes that also show significant expression changes among their functionally coupled genes become more likely candidates. For network-based analyses, we developed a genome-scale co-functional network of K. pneumoniae genes, KlebNet (www.inetbio.org/klebnet). Using KlebNet, we could reconstruct functional modules for antibiotic-resistance, and virulence, and retrieved functional association between them. With complementation assays with top candidate genes, we could validate a gene for negative regulation of meropenem resistance and four genes for positive regulation of virulence in Galleria mellonella larvae. Therefore, our study demonstrated the feasibility of network-based identification of genes required for antimicrobial resistance and virulence of human pathogenic bacteria with genomic and transcriptomic profiles from antibiotic-resistant clinical isolates.

Comprehensive Assessment of Initial Adaptation of ESBL Positive ST131 E. coli to Carbapenem Exposure

Project description:Background: It remains unclear how high-risk Escherichia coli lineages, like sequence type (ST) 131, initially adapt to carbapenem exposure in its progression to becoming carbapenem resistant. Methods: Carbapenem mutation frequency was measured in multiple subclades of extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) positive ST131 clinical isolates using a fluctuation assay followed by whole genome sequencing (WGS) characterization. Genomic, transcriptomic, and porin analyses of ST131 C2/H30Rx isolate, MB1860, under prolonged, increasing carbapenem exposure was performed using two distinct experimental evolutionary platforms to measure fast vs. slow adaptation. Results: All thirteen ESBL positive ST131 strains selected from a diverse (n=184) ST131 bacteremia cohort had detectable ertapenem (ETP) mutational frequencies with a statistically positive correlation between initial ESBL gene copy number and mutation frequency (r = 0.87, P<1e-5). WGS analysis of mutants showed initial response to ETP exposure resulted in significant increases in ESBL gene copy numbers or mutations in outer membrane porin (Omp) encoding genes in the absence of ESBL gene amplification with subclade specific adaptations. In both experimental evolutionary platforms, MB1860 responded to initial ETP exposure by increasing blaCTX-M-15 copy numbers via modular, insertion sequence 26 (IS26) mediated pseudocompound transposons (PCTns). Transposase activity driven by PCTn upregulation was a conserved expression signal in both experimental evolutionary platforms. Stable mutations in Omp encoding genes were detected only after prolonged increasing carbapenem exposure consistent with clinical observations. Conclusions: ESBL gene amplification is a conserved response to initial carbapenem exposure, especially within the high-risk ST131 C2 subclade. Targeting such amplification could assist with mitigating carbapenem resistance development.

An Outer Membrane Protein-Targeting Antibiotic Against Resistant Gram-Negative Bacterial Pathogens

Project description:There is an urgent need for novel antibiotics against carbapenem and 3rd generation cephalosporin-resistant Gram-negative pathogens, for which the last-resort antibiotics have lost most of their efficacy. We describe here a novel class of synthetic antibiotics that was inspired from natural product-derived scaffolds. The antibiotics have an unprecedented mechanism of action, which targets the main component (BamA) of the Bam folding machinery required for folding and insertion of ß-barrel proteins into the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria. This OMPTA (outer membrane protein-targeting antibiotic) class shows potent activity against multidrug-resistant Gram-negative ESKAPE pathogens and overcomes colistin-resistance both in vitro and in vivo. A clinical candidate has the potential to address life threatening Gram-negative infections with high unmet medical need.

Proteomic changes of Klebsiella pneumoniae in response to colistin treatment and crrB mutation-mediated colistin resistance

Project description:Polymyxins are increasingly used as the critical last-resort therapeutic options for multidrug-resistant gram-negative bacteria. Unfortunately, polymyxin resistance has increased gradually for the last few years. Although studies on mechanisms of polymyxin are expanding, system-wide analyses of the underlying mechanism for polymyxin resistance and stress response are still lacking. To understand how Klebsiella pneumoniae adapt to colistin (polymyxin E) pressure, we carried out proteomic analysis of Klebsiella pneumoniae strain cultured with different concentrations of colistin. Our results showed that the proteomic responses to colistin treatment in Klebsiella pneumoniae involving several pathways, including (i) gluconeogenesis and TCA cycle; (ii) arginine biosynthesis; (iii) porphyrin and chlorophyll metabolism; and (iv) enterobactin biosynthesis. Interestingly, decreased abundance of class A β-lactamases including TEM, SHV-11, SHV-4 were observed in cells treated with colistin. Moreover, we also present comprehensive proteome atlases of paired polymyxin-susceptible and -resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae strains. The polymyxin-resistant strain Ci, a mutant of Klebsiella pneumoniae ATCC BAA 2146, showed missense mutation in crrB. The crrB mutant Ci, which displayed lipid A modification with 4-amino-4-deoxy-L-arabinose (L-Ara4N) and palmitoylation, showed striking increases of CrrAB, PmrAB, PhoPQ, ArnBCADT and PagP. We hypothesize that crrB mutations induce elevated expression of the arnBCADTEF operon and pagP via PmrAB and PhoPQ. Moreover, multidrug efflux pump KexD, which was induced by crrB mutation, also contributed to colistin resistance. Overall, our results demonstrated proteomic responses to colistin treatment and the mechanism of CrrB-mediate colistin resistance, which may further offer valuable information to manage polymyxin resistance.

Sublethal Concentrations of Carbapenems Alter Cell Morphology and Genomic Expression of Klebsiella pneumoniae Biofilms

Project description:K. pneumoniae, a Gram-negative bacterium, is normally associated with pneumonia in patients with weakened immune systems. However, it is also a prevalent nosocomial infectious agent that can be found in infected surgical sites and combat wounds. Many of these clinical strains display multi-drug resistance. We have worked with a clinical strain of K. pneumoniae that was initially isolated from a wound of an injured soldier. This strain demonstrated resistance to many commonly used antibiotics, but sensitivity to carbapenems. This isolate was capable of forming biofilms in vitro, contributing to its increased antibiotic resistance and impaired clearance. We were interested in determining how sublethal concentrations of carbapenem treatment specifically affect K. pneumoniae biofilms both in morphology and genomic expression. Scanning electron microscopy showed striking morphological differences between untreated and treated biofilms, including rounding, blebbing, and dimpling of treated cells. Comparative transcriptome analysis using RNA sequencing technology identified a large number of open reading frames (ORFs) differentially regulated in response to carbapenem treatment at 2 and 24 hours. ORFs upregulated with carbapenem treatment included genes involved in resistance, antiporters, and autoinducers. ORFs downregulated included metal transporters, membrane biosynthesis proteins, and motility proteins. Quantitative real time PCR validated the general trend of some of these differentially regulated ORFs. Treating K. pneumoniae biofilms with sublethal concentrations of carbapenems induced a wide-range of phenotypic and gene expression changes. This study reveals some of the mechanisms underlying how sublethal amounts of carbapenems could affect the overall fitness and pathogenic potential of K. pneumoniae biofilm cells.

Pseudomonas aeruginosa MipA-MipB envelope proteins are new sensors of polymyxin

Project description:Due to the rising incidence of antibiotic resistant infections, last-line antibiotics polymyxins have resurged in the clinics together with the appearance of new bacterial strategies of escape. The Gram-negative opportunistic pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa develops resistance to colistin/polymyxin by distinct molecular mechanisms, mostly involving the modification of the lipid A component of the LPS by proteins encoded within the arnBCDATEF-ugD (called arn) operon. We characterized a polymyxin-induced operon, named mipBA, present in P. aeruginosa group of strains devoid of the arn operon. Mass spectrometry-based quantitative proteomics showed that the absence of MipBA modifies the membrane proteome, notably impacting ParRS-regulated proteins, in response to polymyxin.
