Project description:The enterococci comprise a genus of 49 low-GC content Gram-positive commensal species within the Firmicutes phylum that are known to occupy diverse habitats, notably the gastrointestinal core microbiota of nearly every phylum, including human. Of particular clinical relevance are two rogue species of enterococci, Enterococcus faecalis and the distantly related Enterococcus faecium, standing among the nefarious multi-drug resistant and hospital-acquired pathogens. Despite increasing evidence for RNA-based regulation in the enterococci, including regulation of virulence factors, their transcriptome structure and arsenal of regulatory small sRNAs (sRNAs) are not thoroughly understood. Using dRNA-seq, we have mapped at single-nucleotide resolution the primary transcriptomes of E. faecalis V583 and E. faecium AUS0004. We identified 2517 and 2771 transcription start sites (TSS) in E. faecalis and E. faecium, respectively. Based on the identified TSS, we created a global map of s70 promoter motifs. We also revealed features of 5’ and 3’UTRs across the genomes. The transcriptome maps also predicted 150 and 128 sRNA candidates in E. faecalis and E. faecium, respectively, some of which have been identified in previous studies and many of which are new. Finally, we validated several of the predicted sRNAs by Northern Blot in biologically relevant conditions. Comprehensive TSS mapping of two representative strains will provide a valuable resource for the continued development of RNA biology in the Enterococci.

Project description:This study aims to determine the global gene expression in vancomycin resistant Enterococcus faecium (VRE) in response to a novel essential oil-vancomycin combination, and the individual components (vancomycin, carvacrol and cuminaldehyde) to help determine the mechanism of action of this antimicrobial formulation. This formulation increases the susceptibility of VRE to vancomycin and the array provides data on the synergistic mechanism of action. Five conditions (1. Control; 2. Carvacrol, 1.98 mM; 3. Cuminaldehyde, 4.20 mM; 4. Vancomycin, 0.031 mg/l; 5. Combination, 1.98 mM Carvacrol, 4.2 mM Cuminaldehyde, 0.031 mg/l vancomycin) all with 1% DMSO were tested in triplicate with a 60 minute exposure time before extraction.

Project description:A set of small RNAs was identified in Vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium, a leading cause of MDR infections. We described here the function of srn_2050, acting as a T-box riboswitch to regulate expression of downstream genes encoding the HisRS and AspRS aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases. Comparative RNAseq between Aus0004 and isogenic srn_2050 mutant identified the genes whose expression is impacted by the RNA. srn_2050 structure in its ‘off state’ was deciphered by in-line probing, containing T-box consensus sequences, a pseudoknot, a specifier loop and a terminator. Transcription binding assays between the riboswitch and either tRNAAsp or tRNAHis indicate that each deacylated tRNA interacts with the T-box. Their anticodons bind to a GACAC sequence within the specifier loop (GAC and CAC are Asp and His codons, respectively), whereas tRNATyr (UA/C-U) does not. A pioneering evaluation of E. faecium amino acid auxotrophy, with emphasis on E. faecium strain Aus0004, revealed auxotrophy for Histidine but not for Aspartic acid. Based on comparative growths and RNAseq between Aus004 and Aus004-srn2050, the riboswitch is shown essential for growth under aspartate starvation. This is the first example of a functional riboswitch in E. faecium with two overlapping codons allowing a dual tRNA-dependent regulation at transcriptional level.

Project description:The rise of antibiotic resistance and decline of antibiotic discovery urgently calls for novel mechanistic understanding of pharmacological and evolutionary interactions between antibiotics and multidrug resistant bacteria to revitalize existing antibiotics. The evolutionary cross-resistance to antibiotics has received intensive attention previously. Nevertheless, whether and how bacteria develop negative responses, under the selective pressure of antibiotics by inverting the evolutionary trajectory remains unclear. Here we found an instance of collateral sensitivity, in which clinical vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium (VREfm) pathogens exhibit dramatic and specific susceptibility to pleuromutilin antibiotics, decreased minimal inhibitory concentrations (MICs) from 128 µg/mL to 0.03 µg/mL. The unique trade-off between vancomycin and pleuromutilins is mediated by the epistasis between the van gene cluster and msrC encoding an ABC-F protein protecting bacterial ribosomes. We validated the efficacy of pleuromutilins in vivo through reducing colonization and promoting microbiota restoration. Our findings provide an alternative approach to inverting the selective advantage and reversing the route of vancomycin resistance evolution, and to treat VREfm associated infections.
