Dysregulation of Streptococcus pneumoniae zinc homeostasis breaks ampicillin resistance in a pneumonia infection model

ABSTRACT: This study reports on the co-administration of a zinc ionophore (PBT-2) and ampicillin to break antibiotic resistance of Streptococcus pneumoniae in a murine pneumonia model. The molecular mechanism for this heightened antimicrobial activity was identified through transcriptomic and metabolomic analyses of a wild type strain and a zinc efflux mutant to identify cellular targets of zinc intoxication. This revealed that zinc intoxication induces numerous cellular disruptions, which when combined with frontline antibiotics, can break antibiotic resistance and potentially preclude further resistance from emerging.

Dysregulation of Streptococcus pneumoniae zinc homeostasis breaks ampicillin resistance in a pneumonia infection model

Project description:Streptococcus pneumoniae is the primary cause of community-acquired bacterial pneumonia with rates of penicillin and multi-drug resistance exceeding 80% and 40%, respectively. The innate immune response generates a variety of antimicrobial agents to control infection including zinc stress. Here, we characterized the impact of zinc intoxication on S. pneumoniae, revealing disruptions in central carbon metabolism, lipid biogenesis and peptidoglycan biosynthesis. Characterization of the pivotal peptidoglycan biosynthetic enzyme GlmU revealed an exquisite sensitivity to zinc inhibition. Disruption of the sole zinc efflux pathway, czcD, rendered S. pneumoniae highly susceptible to β-lactam antibiotics. To dysregulate zinc homeostasis in the wild-type strain, we investigated the safe-for-human use ionophore PBT2. PBT2 rendered wild-type S. pneumoniae strains sensitive to a range of antibiotics. Using an invasive ampicillin-resistant strain, we demonstrate in a murine pneumonia infection model the efficacy of PBT2+ampicillin treatment. These findings present a therapeutic modality to break resistance of drug-resistant S. pneumoniae.

RNAseq transcriptome analysis of Streptococcus pneumoniae 23F treated with PBT2 and zinc

Project description:Streptococcus pneumoniae is the primary cause of community-acquired bacterial pneumonia with rates of penicillin and multi-drug resistance exceeding 80% and 40%, respectively. The innate immune response uses various chemical insults to control infection, including metal stress mediated by localized changes in zinc abundance. Here, we characterized the impact of S. pneumoniae zinc intoxication revealing disruptions in central carbon metabolism, lipid biogenesis and peptidoglycan biosynthesis. To dysregulate zinc homeostasis in the wild-type strain, we investigated the safe-for-human use ionophore PBT2. PBT2 rendered wild-type S. pneumoniae strains sensitive to a range of antibiotics.

Global transcriptome profile of S aureus treated with celecoxib and ampicillin in combination

Project description:We have previously shown that celecoxib, a selective COX-2 inhibitor, in combination with antibiotic sensitizes S aureus to antibiotic thereby decreasing the MIC of antibiotic. The present study is aimed at understanding the molecular mechanism of action of celecoxib on S aureus growth by microarray analysis. The results were analysed and the data clearly shows global change in the expression levels of S aureus genes in presence of celecoxib. Many virulence genes, essential genes and nonessential genes are down-regulated in presence of celecoxib in combination with ampicillin when compared to drug treatment alone.

RNAseq transcriptome analysis of A. baumannnii MS14413 treated with PBT2, zinc and tetracycline

Project description:Acinetobacter baumannii causes high mortality in ventilator-associated pneumonia patients and antibiotic treatment is compromised in multi-drug resistant strains resistant to beta-lactams, carbapenems, cephalosporins, polymyxins and tetracyclines. Among COVID-19 patients receiving ventilator support, multi-drug resistant A. baumannii secondary infection is associated with a two-fold increase in mortality. Here we investigated the use of the 8-hydroxyquinoline ionophore PBT2 to break resistance of A. baumannii to tetracycline class antibiotics.

Proteomics Study of Filamentous Persisters from Evo3A Evolved Populations during Ampicillin Treatment and Resuscitation

Project description:Proteomics is the most suitable tool to study persisters with their complex underlying molecular mechanisms from a system-level perspective, but the number of persisters that present naturally is too few for proteomics analysis. Here, we utilized Evo3A, an evolved population with enriched persisters fraction from a recent adaptive laboratory evolution experiment, to study the mechanisms of persistence during ampicillin treatment and resuscitation. Interestingly, the enriched persisters on Evo3A exhibit filamentous morphology upon treatment with ampicillin, and the filaments are getting longer over time. Time-course proteomics study revealed that proteins involved in major carbohydrate metabolism are up-regulated, in particular those involved in the oxidative stress response and act as cellular response to DNA damage. As opposed to the proteome profile during antibiotic treatment, proteins involved in major metabolic processes and ATP generation are down-regulated, while translational proteins and porins are up-regulated in the filaments during resuscitation.

Regulatory proteins control a transcriptional network in response to antibiotic stress

Project description:In a given bacterial population, antibiotic treatment kills a large portion of the population, while a small, tolerant subpopulation survives. Tolerant cells disrupt the efficacy of antibiotic treatment and increase the likelihood that a population gains antibiotic resistance. Antibiotic tolerance is different from resistance because tolerant cells cannot grow and replicate in the presence of the antibiotic, but when the antibiotic is removed, they begin to propagate. When a population becomes resistant, the antibiotic becomes ineffective, which is a major health concern. Since antibiotic tolerance often leads to antibiotic resistance, we have taken a systems biology approach to examine how regulatory networks respond to antibiotic stress so that cells can survive and recover after antibiotic treatment. We have compared gene expression with and without ampicillin in E. coli.
