Global Gene Expression of Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus USA300 During Human and Mouse Infection

ABSTRACT: Little is known about the expression of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) genes during infection conditions. Here, we described the transcriptome of the clinical MRSA strain USA300 derived from human cutaneous abscesses, and compared it with USA300 bacteria derived from infected kidneys in a mouse model. Remarkable similarity between the transcriptomes allowed us to identify genes encoding multiple proteases and toxins, and iron- and peptide-transporter molecules, which are upregulated in both infections and are likely important for establishment of infection. We also showed that disruption of the global transcriptional regulators agr and sae prevents in vivo upregulation of many toxins and proteases, protecting mice from lethal infection dose, and hinting at the role of these transcriptional regulators in the pathology of MRSA infection.

Gene expression analysis of Staphyloccoccus aureus USA300 vs USA300 agr knockout.

Project description:The study aims to compare gene expression patterns of Staphyloccoccus aureus USA300 wild type (reference) vs USA300 agr knockout(query). The agr quorum sensing system is an important regulator of density dependent gene expression. To determine the role of agr in USA300 virulence a agr mutant was constructed and differential gene expression compared to the parental wildtype.

Analysis of gene expression of the lungs of mice challenged intratracheally with methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus（MRSA） USA300 clone

Project description:In order to explore the mechanism of host immune response after infection with MRSA (USA300 clone) pneumonia, we established a mouse animal infection model and took lung tissue for RNA sequencing. Then We performed gene expression profiling using RNA-seq data obtained from lung tissues at five time points.

Role of the accessory gene regulator agr in community-associated MRSA pathogenesis

Project description:The success of community-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (CA-MRSA) as pathogens is due to a combination of antibiotic resistance with high virulence. However, evolution of the exceptional virulence potential of CA-MRSA is not understood. Our previous study indicated that differential gene expression contributes substantially to this process. Thus, we here investigated the role of the pivotal virulence gene regulatory system agr in the most prevalent CA-MRSA strain USA300. Using a mouse subcutaneous infection model, we show that agr is essential for the development of CA-MRSA skin infections, the most frequent manifestation of disease caused by CA-MRSA. Furthermore, genome-wide analysis of gene expression revealed significant differences in agr-dependent virulence gene regulation between CA-MRSA, HA-MRSA, and laboratory strains. Our findings demonstrate that agr functionality is critical for CA-MRSA disease and indicate that an adaptation of the agr regulon to optimize expression of a broad set of virulence determinants may have contributed to the evolution of exceptionally pronounced virulence of CA-MRSA strains. Keywords: wild type vs mutant Wild type vs mutant agr strains.

Genomic comparisons of USA300 Staphylococcus aureus colonizating the nose and rectum of children with skin abscesses

Project description:USA300 Staphylococcus aureus is responsible for the current outbreak of skin abscesses in the United States. Unlike other USA types, USA300 colonizes the rectum at rates higher than the nose. The reason for the difference in colonization site preference may be related to specific adherence or attachment factors contained in the genome of these strains. Additional knowledge in this field may help design novel prophylactic and therapeutic strategies to combat staphylococcal infections. Strains of USA300 MSSA and MRSA colonizing the nose and/or rectum from children with staphylococcal skin abscesses were compared by whole genome array technology to identify bacterial genetic determinants associated with site-specific colonization. Strains isolated from different colonization sites were indistinguishable by genomic content. Site-specific colonization traits were not detected in the colonizing bacteria by this array. Either host characteristics associated with staphylococcal carriage or under represented bacterial genomic constructions need to be examined to determine the etiology of this site-specific colonization.

Linoleic Acid Stimulation of WT Staphylococcus aureus USA300 NRS384

Project description:Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infections result in more than 200,000 hospitalizations and 10,000 deaths in the United States each year and remain an important medical challenge. A key factor of S. aureus pathogenesis is the production of virulence proteins that are secreted into the extracellular matrix damaging host tissues and forming abscesses that may serve as replicative niches for the bacteria. We recently discovered that host-derived cis-unsaturated fatty acids activate the transcription and translation of EsxA, a protein that plays a central role in abscess formation in clinically relevant MRSA strains. Additionally, we discovered that fatty acid stimulation of EsxA is dependent on fakA, a gene that encodes a protein responsible for the incorporation of exogenous fatty acids into the S. aureus phospholipid membrane. In order to gain a comprehensive understanding of host-fatty-acid-sensing in S. aureus, we performed RNA-Seq analysis on WT Staphylococcus aureus USA300 NRS384, a community-acquired MRSA strain, in the presence and absence of 10μM linoleic acid.

The ACME and SCCmec Linkage of Virulence with Resistance in the Community Methicillin Resistant S. aureus USA300 Clone

Project description:The epidemic character of community-associated methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (CA-MRSA), especially the geographically widespread clone USA300, is poorly understood. USA300 isolates carry a type IV staphylococcal chromosomal cassette mec (SCCmec) element conferring -lactam antibiotic class resistance and a putative pathogenicity island, ACME (arginine catabolic mobile element). Physical linkage between SCCmec and ACME suggests that selection for antibiotic resistance and for pathogenicity may be interconnected. We constructed isogenic mutants containing deletions of SCCmec and ACME in a USA300 clinical isolate to determine the role of these elements in a rabbit model of bacteremia. We found that deletion of type IV SCCmec did not affect competitive fitness, whereas deletion of ACME significantly attenuated pathogenicity or fitness of USA300. These data are consistent with a model in which ACME enhances growth and survival of USA300, allowing for genetic "hitchhiking" of SCCmec. SCCmec in turn protects against exposure to β -lactams.
