Project description:The gene encoding elongation factor G, fusA1, is frequently mutated in clinical isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa from patients with cystic fibrosis. Recent work has shown that fusA1 mutants often display elevated aminoglycoside resistance due to increased expression of the aminoglycoside efflux pump, MexXY. We isolated a spontaneous gentamicin-resistant fusA1 mutant (FusA1-P443L) in which mexXY expression was increased. We compared the transcriptome of this fusA1 mutant (EMC1) with the P. aeruginosa PAO1-derived progenitor strain (EMC0) and complemented mutant strain expressing the wild-type fusA1 gene in trans (EMC1*).

Project description:In this study we have profiled a clinical tobramycin resistant P. aeruginosa strain that exhibited a small colony variant (SCV) phenotype. Both, the resistance and the colony morphology phenotypes were lost upon passaging the isolate under rich medium conditions. Transcriptional and mutational profiling revealed that the SCV harbored activating mutations in the two two-component systems AmgRS and PmrAB. Introduction of these mutations singularly into the type strain PA14 conferred tobramycin and colistin resistance, respectively. However, their combined introduction had an additive effect on the tobramycin resistance phenotype. Activation of the AmgRS system slightly reduced the colony size of the PA14 wild-type, whereas the simultaneous overexpression of gacA, the response regulator of the GacSA two component system, further reduced colony size. In conclusion, we uncovered combinatorial influences of two-component systems on clinically relevant phenotypes, such as resistance and the expression of the SCV phenotype. Our results clearly demonstrate that combined activation of P. aeruginosa two-component systems exhibit pleiotropic effects with unforeseen consequences.

Project description:Methylrhodomelol (1) is a bromophenol from the red alga Vertebrata lanosa (L.) T.A.Christensen that has been associated with antimicrobial properties. Aim of the current study was therefore, to assess the antimicrobial potential of this compound in more detail against the gram-negative pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa. 1 exerted weak bacteriostatic activity against different strains when grown in minimal medium, whereas other phenolics were inactive. In addition, 1 (35 and 10 µg/mL) markedly enhanced the susceptibility of multidrug resistant P. aeruginosa towards the aminoglycoside gentamicin, while it did not affect the viability of Vero kidney cells up to 100 µM. Finally, pyoverdine release was reduced in bacteria treated at sub-inhibitory concentration, but no effect on other virulence factors was observed. Transcriptome analysis of treated versus untreated P. aeruginosa indicated an interference of 1 with bacterial carbon and energy metabolism, which was corroborated by RT-qPCR and decreased ATP-levels in treated bacteria.

Project description:Pseudomonas aeruginosa harbors sophisticated transcription factor (TF) networks to coordinately regulate cellular metabolic states for rapidly adapting to changing environments. The superior capacity in fine-tuning the metabolic states enables its success in tolerance to antibiotics and evading host immune defenses. However, the linkage among transcriptional regulation, metabolic states, and antibiotic tolerance in P. aeruginosa remains largely unclear. By screening the P. aeruginosa TF mutant library constructed by CRISPR/Cas12k-guided transposase, we identify that rccR (PA5438) is a major genetic determinant in aminoglycoside antibiotic tolerance, the deletion of which substantially enhances bacterial tolerance. We further reveal the inhibitory roles of RccR in pyruvate metabolism (aceE/F) and glyoxylate shunt pathway (aceA and glcB), and overexpression of aceA or glcB enhances bacterial tolerance. Moreover, we identify that 2-keto-3-deoxy-6-phosphogluconate (KDPG) is a signal molecule that directly binds to RccR. Structural analysis of the RccR/KDPG complex reveals the detailed interactions. Substitution of the key residues R152, K270, or R277 with alanine abolishes KDPG sensing by RccR and impairs bacterial growth with glycerol or glucose as the sole carbon source. Collectively, our study unveils the connection between aminoglycoside antibiotic tolerance and RccR-mediated central carbon metabolism regulation in P. aeruginosa, and elucidates the KDPG sensing mechanism by RccR.

Project description:Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a gram negative, opportunistic pathogen, which is the major cause of corneal infections in India and worldwide. Being categorised in the critical group of antibiotic resistant species, it has prompted significance rise in research to develop alternative therapeutics. One such alternative to combat bacterial infections is antimicrobial peptides (AMPs). This study aims to investigate the role of S100A12, a host defence peptide against PAO1. It was also seen to inhibit the bacterial growth of PAO1 in vitro as seen from the colony forming units. Our study sheds light on how S100A12 impacts Pseudomonas and that it might have the potential to be used as therapeutic intervention in addition to antibiotics in future.

Project description:The bacterial heat-shock response is regulated by the alternative sigma factor sigma 32 (RpoH), which responds to misfolded protein stress and directs the RNA polymerase to the promoterss for genes required for protein refolding or degradation. In P. aeruginosa, RpoH is essential for viability under laboratory growth conditions. Here, we used a transcriptomics approach to identify the genes of the RpoH regulon, including RpoH-regulated genes that are essential for P. aeruginosa. We placed the rpoH gene under control of the arabinose inducible PBAD promoter, then deleted the chromosomal rpoH allele. This allowed transcriptomic analysis of the RpoH regulon following a short up-shift in the cellular concentration of RpoH by arabinose addition, in the absence of a sudden increase in temperature. The P. aeruginosa ∆rpoH (PBAD-rpoH) strain grew in the absence of arabinose, indicating that some rpoH expression occurs without arabinose-induction. When arabinose was added, the rpoH mRNA abundance of P. aeruginosa ∆rpoH (PBAD-rpoH) measured by RT-qPCR increased fivefold within 15 min of arabinose addition. Whole genome transcriptome results showed that P. aeruginosa genes required for protein repair or degradation are induced by increased RpoH levels, and that many of the genes induced by RpoH are essential for P. aeruginosa growth. Other stress response genes induced by RpoH are involved in nucleic acid damage and repair and in amino acid metabolism. Annotation of the hypothetical proteins under RpoH control included proteins that may play a role in antibiotic resistances and in non-ribosomal peptide synthesis. The P. aeruginosa ∆rpoH (PBAD-rpoH) strain is impaired in its ability to survive during starvation compared to the wild-type strain. P. aeruginosa ∆rpoH (PBAD-rpoH) also has increased sensitivity to aminoglycoside antibiotics, but not to other classes of antibiotics, whether cultured planktonically or in biofilms. The enhanced aminoglycoside resistance of the mutant strain may be due to indirect effects, such as the build-up of toxic misfolded proteins, or to the direct effect of genes such as aminoglycoside acetyl transferases that are regulated by RpoH. Overall, the results demonstrate that RpoH regulates genes that are essential for viability of P. aeruginosa, that it protects P. aeruginosa from damage from aminoglycoside antibiotics, and that it is required for survival during nutrient limiting conditions. We used Affymetrix microarrays to characterize the RpoH regulon in P. aeruginosa. Using the P. aeruginosa ∆rpoH strain with rpoH under control of the PBAD promoter, we were able to perform transcriptomic analysis of genes induced by a sudden increase (15 min) in the cellular concentration of RpoH, independent from a sudden increase in temperature.
