Absence of tmRNA increases the persistence to cefotaxime by upregulating the metabolites GlcNAc in Aeromonas veronii

ABSTRACT:

Bacterial persisters refer to a small proportion of phenotypically heterogeneous variants with transient capability for survival when exposing to high concentrations of antibiotic, which constitute the major cause for recurrent infections both in human and aquatic infections. In pathogenic bacteria Aeromonas veronii, tmRNA (transfer-messenger RNA), the core factor of trans-translation system, was identified as a determinant regulator mediating the persistence to β-lactams. Compared with the wild type, the deletion of tmRNA exhibited unchanged growth rate, sustained susceptibility to cefotaxime, but did increase persister cell formation. Transcriptomic and metabolomic analyses revealed that, the absence of tmRNA not only upreglated the expressions of metabolic genes especially in the metabolic flux of peptidoglycan biosynthesis, but also significantly elevated the intercellular level of metabolite GlcNAc, thereby intensifying the contents of peptidoglycans in the cell wall. Eventually, exogenous GlcNAc stimulated significantly the bacterial growth and persistence to cefotaxime in a concentration dependent manner. Taken together, these results uncover a novel mechanism of persister formation mediated by tmRNA against the β-lactam challenges.

Absence of tmRNA Increases the Persistence to Cefotaxime and the Intercellular Accumulation of Metabolite GlcNAc in Aeromonas veronii

Project description:Bacterial persisters are a small proportion of phenotypically heterogeneous variants with the transient capability to survive in high concentrations of antibiotics, causing recurrent infections in both human and aquatic animals. Transfer-messenger RNA (tmRNA), which was encoded by the ssrA gene, was identified as a determinant regulator mediating the persistence to β-lactams in the pathogenic Aeromonas veronii C4. The deletion of tmRNA exhibited the increased ability of persister formation most probably due to the reduction of protein synthesis. Transcriptomic and metabolomic analyses revealed that the absence of tmRNA not only significantly elevated the intercellular levels of metabolite GlcNAc and promoted NaCl osmotic tolerance, but also upregulated the expression of metabolic genes in both the upstream biosynthesis pathway and the downstream metabolic flux of peptidoglycan (PG) biosynthesis. Finally, exogenous GlcNAc stimulated significant bacterial growth, enhanced content of GlcNAc in the cell wall, higher resistance to osmotic response, and higher persistence to cefotaxime in a concentration-dependent manner, implying its potential role in promoting the multiple phenotypes observed in tmRNA deletion strains. Taken together, these results hint at a potential mechanism of persister formation mediated by tmRNA against the β-lactam challenges in A. veronii.

Medium chain unsaturated fatty acid ethyl esters inhibit persister formation of Escherichia coli via antitoxin HipB

Project description:Persisters represent a small bacterial population that is dormant and that survives under antibiotic treatment without experiencing genetic adaptation. Persisters are also considered one of the major reasons for recalcitrant chronic bacterial infections. Although several mechanisms of persister formation have been proposed, it is not clear how cells enter the dormant state in the presence of antibiotics or how persister cell formation can be effectively controlled. A fatty acid compound, cis-2-decenoic acid, was reported to decrease persister formation as well as revert the dormant cells to a metabolically active state. We reasoned that some fatty acid compounds may be effective in controlling bacterial persistence because they are known to benefit host immune systems. This study investigated persister cell formation by pathogens that were exposed to nine fatty acid compounds during antibiotic treatment. We found that three medium chain unsaturated fatty acid ethyl esters (ethyl trans-2-decenoate, ethyl trans-2-octenoate, and ethyl cis-4-decenoate) decreased the level of Escherichia coli persister formation up to 110-fold when cells were exposed to ciprofloxacin or ampicillin antibiotics. RNA sequencing analysis and gene deletion persister studies elucidated that these fatty acids inhibit bacterial persistence by regulating antitoxin HipB. A similar persister cell reduction was observed for pathogenic E. coli EDL933, Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1, and Serratia marcescens ICU2-4 strains. This study demonstrates that fatty acid ethyl esters can be used to disrupt bacterial dormancy to combat persistent infectious diseases.

First penicillin-binding protein occupancy patterns for 15 β-lactams and β-lactamase inhibitors in Mycobacterium abscessus

Project description:Mycobacterium abscessus (Mab) causes serious infections that often require over 18 months of antibiotic combination therapy. With β lactam antibiotics being safe, double β-lactam and β-lactam/β-lactamase inhibitor combinations are of interest for improving treatment of Mab infections and minimizing toxicity. However, a mechanistic approach for building these combinations is lacking since little is known about which penicillin-binding protein (PBP) target receptors are inactivated by different β-lactams in Mab. This project aimed to identify PBPs in Mab and study the binding affinities of each of these PBPs with β-lactam antibiotics. These first PBP occupancy patterns in Mab provide a mechanistic foundation for selecting and optimizing safe and effective combination therapies with β-lactams.

Beta- lactam antibiotics stimulate biofilm formation in non-typeable Haemophilus influenzae by up-regulating carbohydrate metabolism

Project description:Non-typeable Haemophilus influenzae (NTHi) is a common acute otitis media pathogen, with an incidence that is increased by previous antibiotic treatment. NTHi is also an emerging causative agent of other chronic infections in humans, some linked to morbidity, and all of which impose substantial treatment costs. In this study we explore the possibility that antibiotic exposure may stimulate biofilm formation by NTHi bacteria. We discovered that sub-inhibitory concentrations of beta-lactam antibiotic (i.e., amounts that partially inhibit bacterial growth) stimulated the biofilm-forming ability of NTHi strains, an effect that was strain and antibiotic dependent. When exposed to sub-inhibitory concentrations of beta-lactam antibiotics NTHi strains produced tightly packed biofilms with decreased numbers of culturable bacteria but increased biomass. The ratio of protein per unit weight of biofilm decreased as a result of antibiotic exposure. Antibiotic-stimulated biofilms had altered ultrastructure, and genes involved in glycogen production and transporter function were up regulated in response to antibiotic exposure. Down-regulated genes were linked to multiple metabolic processes but not those involved in stress response. Antibiotic-stimulated biofilm bacteria were more resistant to a lethal dose (10M-BM-5g/mL) of cefuroxime. Our results suggest that beta-lactam antibiotic exposure may act as a signaling molecule that promotes transformation into the biofilm phenotype. Loss of viable bacteria, increase in biofilm biomass and decreased protein production coupled with a concomitant up-regulation of genes involved with glycogen production might result in a biofilm of sessile, metabolically inactive bacteria sustained by stored glycogen. These biofilms may protect surviving bacteria from subsequent antibiotic challenges, and act as a reservoir of viable bacteria once antibiotic exposure has ended. 12 samples

Expression profile for overproduction of DosP

Project description:Persister cells are a sub-population of all bacterial cultures which exhibit a non-inheritable, multi-drug tolerance when subjected to lethal antibiotic challenge. These persisters arise as a result of metabolic dormancy, and can resume growth subsequent to antibiotic challenge, leading to recalcitrance of bacterial infections. Overproduction of DosP, an oxygen sensing protein with phosphodiesterase activity, increases bacterial persistence. Here we performed a microarray to determine the expression profile induced by DosP as a means to elucidate mechanisms of persister cell formation. dosP was overexpressed in Escherichia coli K-12 BW25113 and compared to the empty vector.

Complex in vivo RNA-seq analysis reveal reprogramming of Yersinia from virulent to persistent mode during infection [RNA-seq]

Project description:We recently found that Yersinia pseudotuberculosis can be used as a model of persistent bacterial infections. We performed in vivo RNA-seq of bacteria in small cecal tissue biopsies at early and persistent stages of infection to determine strategies associated with persistence. Comprehensive analysis of mixed RNA populations from infected tissues revealed that Y. pseudotuberculosis undergoes transcriptional reprogramming with drastic down-regulation of T3SS virulence genes during persistence when the pathogen resides within the cecum. At the persistent stage, the expression pattern in many respects resembles the pattern seen in vitro at 26oC, with for example up-regulation of flagellar genes and invA. These findings are expected to have impact on future rationales to identify suitable bacterial targets for new antibiotics. Other genes that are up-regulated during persistence are genes involved in anaerobiosis, chemotaxis, and protection against oxidative and acidic stress, which indicates the influence of different environmental cues. We found that the Crp/CsrA/RovA regulatory cascades influence the pattern of bacterial gene expression during persistence. Furthermore, arcA, fnr, frdA, and wrbA play critical roles in persistence. Our findings suggest a model for the life cycle of this enteropathogen with reprogramming from a virulent to an adapted phenotype capable of persisting and spreading by fecal shedding. Examination of Y. pseudotuberculosis expression in two mouse cecal tissue at early and at persistent infection. Also pure bacterial cultures two at 26C and two 37C. Additionally, the bacterial content of cecal tissue during infections and before infection were analyzed with read mapping on 16SMicrobial NCBI database with non-rRNA-depleted reads.

Response of Pseudomonas aeruginosa laboratory strain PAO1 and clinical isolates LESlike1, LESB58, and LES431 to antibiotic treatments

Project description:Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a predominant pathogen in chronic lung infections in individuals with cystic fibrosis (CF). Epidemic strains of P. aeruginosa, such as the Liverpool Epidemic Strain (LES), are capable of transferring between CF patients and have been associated with increased hospital visits and antibiotic treatments. We used label-free quantitative proteomics to compare the laboratory strain PAO1, beta-lactam resistant isolate LESB58, and beta-lactam susceptible isolate LESlike1 and their responses to three beta-lactams (aztreonam, carbenicillin, piperacillin), the aminoglycoside tobramycin, and hydrogen peroxide. Across all samples, we identified 3019 proteins with a minimum of two peptides. We found that LESB58 showed a large response to treatment with the beta-lactam carbenicillin, with 644 proteins significantly increased in abundance and 590 proteins significantly decreased in abundance (Students t-test, p≤0.05, FDR=0.05, S0=1). Proteomic characterization of an additional beta-lactam resistant isolate, LES431, exposed to carbenicillin showed that this response was shared by both isolates. Part of the response to carbenicillin in LESB58 included an increase in abundance in proteins involved in cell wall synthesis and division.
