Project description:C. jejuni, a spiral-shaped gram-negative bacterium, is a leading bacterial cause of human foodborne illness. Acute disease is associated with C. jejuni invasion of the intestinal epithelium. Further, maximal host cell invasion requires the secretion of proteins termed Campylobacter invasion antigens (Cia). As bile acids are known to alter the pathogenic behavior of other gastrointestinal pathogens, we hypothesized that the virulence potential of Campylobacter may be triggered by the bile acid deoxycholate (DOC). In support of this hypothesis, culturing C. jejuni with a physiologically relevant concentration of DOC significantly altered the kinetics of cell invasion as evidenced by gentamicin-protection assays. In contrast to C. jejuni harvested from Mueller-Hinton (MH) agar plates, C. jejuni harvested from MH agar plates supplemented with DOC demonstrated Cia secretion as judged by metabolic labeling experiments. DOC was also found to induce the expression of the ciaB gene as judged by B-galactosidase reporter assays and real-time RT-PCR. Microarray analysis revealed that DOC induced the expression of virulence genes (i.e., ciaB, cmeABC, dccR, and tlyA). In summary, we demonstrate that it is possible to enhance the pathogenic behavior of C. jejuni by modifying the culture conditions. These results provide a foundation to identify genes expressed by C. jejuni in response to in vivo-like culture conditions. Keywords: Stress response

Project description:Objectives: The aim of the study was to characterize (-)-α-Pinene, which is one of the chemical constituents of Alpinia katsumadai seed essential oil responsible for its resistance modulatory activity in Campylobacter jejuni. Methods: Broth microdilution method was used to evaluate the antimicrobial and resistance modulatory potential of (-)-α-Pinene and ethidium bromide accumulation assay to determine its efflux-inhibitory activity in subinhibitory concentration. The target efflux system was identified using knock-out mutants in several efflux related genes. Furthermore, the influence of subinhibitory concentration of (-)-α-Pinene on C. jejuni NCTC 11168 was investigated using microarray technology in order to elucidate the adaptive mechanism of bacteria to treatment with this phytochemical. Knock-out mutants of key adaptation genes were constructed and their role in adaptation to several stress factors, including (-)-α-Pinene, different osmolites and pH, was investigated using Biolog phenotypical microarrays and CFU counts. Results: (-)-α-Pinene was confirmed as highly efficient Campylobacter jejuni resistance modulator, due to its efflux inhibitory activity, which was significantly higher compared to reference inhibitors CCCP and reserpine. The CmeABC along with newly characterized CmeI (Cj1687) was confirmed as its main target efflux system. The transcriptional analysis indicated that the heat shock regulators HspR and HrcA are the main transcription regulators involved in adaptation to (-)-α-Pinene treatment. Conclusions: (-)-α-Pinene is a novel CmeABC and CmeI efflux inhibitor, which evokes the heat shock response in Campylobacter jejuni.

Project description:Campylobacter jejuni is the most prevalent cause of foodborne bacterial enteritis worldwide. This study aims at the characterisation of pathomechanisms and signalling in Campylobacter-induced diarrhoea in the human mucosa. During routine colonoscopy, biopsies were taken from patients suffering from campylobacteriosis. RNA-seq of colon biopsies was performed to describe Campylobacter jejuni-mediated effects. Mucosal mRNA profiles of acutely infected patients and healthy controls were generated by deep sequencing using Illumina HiSeq 2500. This data provide the basis for subsequent upstream regulator analysis.

Project description:Campylobacter jejuni is a major zoonotic pathogen transmitted to humans via the food chain. C. jejuni is prevalent in chickens, a natural reservoir for this pathogenic organism. Due to the importance of macrolide antibiotics in clinical therapy of human campylobacteriosis, development of macrolide resistance in Campylobacter has become a concern for public health.To facilitate understanding the molecular basis associated with the fitness difference between Erys and Eryr Campylobacter, we compared the transcriptomes between ATCC 700819 and its isogenic Eryr transformant T.L.101 using DNA microarray.

Project description:In order to investigate the gene experssion changes in Campylobacter jejuni triggered by exposure to Novobiocin. DNA microarray was used to identify genes that were differentially expressed in C. jejuni 11168 treated with Novobiocin. For RNA extraction, Campylobacter cells were grown 4 hrs in MH broth to the mid exponential phase (OD600=0.4-0.5) with shaking rates 180rpm at 42°C, and then split into two equal portions, one of which was treated with subinhibitory dose of Novobiocin (256ug/ml, 0.25 MIC) and the other served as a non-treated control, all of these samples were incubated at 42°C for 30 min under microaerobic conditions, RNA samples were extracted from 4 independent treatments and 4 non-treated controls. Then cDNA was synthesized using aminoallyl-dNTP and RNA samples according to the manufacturerâs instruction. After purification, aminoallyl labeled cDNA was fluorescently labeled with Cy-3/Cy-5 mono-Reactive Dye Pack.

Keywords: Stress response For the expression profiling arrays, an indirect comparison of gene expression was performed, where the expression profile of the C. jejuni F38011 cultured in the presence and absence of DOC was measured separately on different slides as described previously (26). Briefly, Cy5 labeled reference DNA from the C. jejuni F38011 strain was mixed with Cy3 labeled test cDNA (C. jejuni F38011 cultured in the presence or absence of DOC) and hybridized to the Campylobacter cDNA array (26) on separate slides. DNA microarrays were scanned using an Axon GenePix 4000B microarray laser scanner (Axon Instruments, Union City, CA) and the data for spot and background intensities were processed using the GenePix 4.0 software. To compensate for any effect of the amount of template and uneven Cy-dye incorporation, data normalization was performed as previously described (26). For the comparison of genes differentially expressed in the presence and absence of DOC,six hybridization measurements were generated per biological experiment (three technical replicate arrays and two replicate features per array).
