The proteomic responses of carbapenemase-producing and non-producing carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains to subminimal-inhibitory concentrations of meropenem revealed by quantitative tandem mass spectrometry

ABSTRACT: Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a major opportunistic pathogen causing a wide range of infections and one of the most problematic bacteria regarding antibiotic resistance, with an increasing incidence of multidrug and extensively-drug resistant strains, including resistance to last resource antibiotics such as carbapenems. Resistances are often due to complex interplays of naturally and acquired resistance mechanisms which are enhanced by its remarkably large regulatory network. Thus, the use of non-targeted shotgun methodologies such as mass spectrometry-based proteomics is crucial to understand these interplays and to reveal possible strain and species-specific novel mechanisms of antibiotic resistance. The aim of this study was to determine the proteomic response of two carbapenem-resistant and extensively-drug-resistant P. aeruginosa strains to subminimal inhibitory concentrations (sub-MICs) of meropenem. The strains belonged to high-risk clones ST235 and ST395, one carrying a class 1 integron-encoded VIM-4 metallo-β-lactamase and one carrying no acquired antibiotic resistance genes. Each strain was cultivated with three different sub-MICs of meropenem, and a quantitative shotgun proteomic approach was applied, using tandem mass tag (TMT) isobaric labeling followed by nano-liquid chromatography tandem-mass spectrometry, to determine significantly up- or down-regulated proteins and enriched groups of proteins and pathways. Cultivation of both strains with ½ and ¼ of the MIC, resulted in hundreds of differentially regulated proteins, including several β-lactamases, transport-related proteins (including multiple porins and efflux pumps), proteins associated with peptidoglycan metabolism and cell wall organization and dozens of regulatory proteins. Remarkably, all components of the H1 type VI secretion system were up-regulated in one of the strains. Enrichment analyses revealed that multiple metabolic pathways were affected. Additionally, numerous proteins of unknown function were also differentially-regulated in each strain. In conclusion, high subminimal-inhibitory concentrations of meropenem cause massive changes in the proteomes of carbapenem-resistant P. aeruginosa strains, involving a wide range of common and strain-specific mechanisms and proteins, many still uncharacterized which might potentially play a role in the susceptibility of P. aeruginosa to meropenem.

Project description:We compared the dynamics and mechanisms of resistance development to ceftazidime, meropenem, ciprofloxacin, and ceftolozane-tazobactam in wild-type (PAO1) and mutator (PAOMS, M-bM-^HM-^FmutS) P. aeruginosa. The strains were incubated for 24 h with 0.5 to 64M-CM-^W MICs of each antibiotic in triplicate experiments. The tubes from the highest antibiotic concentration showing growth were reinoculated in fresh medium containing concentrations up to 64M-CM-^W MIC for 7 consecutive days. The susceptibility profiles and resistance mechanisms were assessed in two isolated colonies from each step, antibiotic, and strain. Ceftolozane-tazobactam-resistant mutants were further characterized by whole-genome analysis through RNA sequencing (RNA-seq). The development of high-level resistance was fastest for ceftazidime, followed by meropenem and ciprofloxacin. None of the mutants selected with these antibiotics showed cross-resistance to ceftolozane-tazobactam. On the other hand, ceftolozane-tazobactam resistance development was much slower, and high-level resistance was observed for the mutator strain only. PAO1 derivatives that were moderately resistant (MICs, 4 to 8 ug/ml) to ceftolozane-tazobactam showed only 2 to 4 mutations, which determined global pleiotropic effects associated with a severe fitness cost. High-level-resistant (MICs, 32 to 128 ug/ml) PAOMS derivatives showed 45 to 53 mutations. Major changes in the global gene expression profiles were detected in all mutants, but only PAOMS mutants showed ampC overexpression, which was caused by dacB or ampR mutations. Moreover, all PAOMS mutants contained 1 to 4 mutations in the conserved residues of AmpC (F147L, Q157R, G183D, E247K, or V356I). Complementation studies revealed that these mutations greatly increased ceftolozane-tazobactam and ceftazidime MICs but reduced those of piperacillin-tazobactam and imipenem, compared to those in wild-type ampC. Therefore, the development of high-level resistance to ceftolozane-tazobactam appears to occur efficiently only in a P. aeruginosa mutator background, in which multiple mutations lead to overexpression and structural modifications of AmpC. Mutants of Pseudomonas aeroginosa PAO1 and PAO1 M-bM-^HM-^FmutS against Ceftolozane-tazobactam were generated and analysed using RNA-Seq
