Project description:PhoP is considered a regulator of virulence despite being conserved in both pathogenic and non-pathogenic Enterobacteriaceae. While Escherichia coli strains represent both non-pathogenic commensal isolates and numerous virulent pathotypes, the PhoP virulence regulator has only been studied in commensal E. coli. To better understand how conserved transcription factors contribute to virulence, we characterized PhoP in pathogenic E. coli. Loss of phoP significantly attenuated E. coli during extraintestinal infection. This was not surprising since we demonstrated that PhoP differentially regulated the transcription of >600 genes. In addition to survival at acidic pH and resistance to polymyxin B, PhoP was required for repression of motility and oxygen-independent changes in the expression of primary dehydrogenase and terminal reductase respiratory chain components. All phenotypes have in common a reliance on an energized membrane. Thus, we hypothesized that PhoP mediated these effects by regulating genes that generate a proton motive force. Indeed, bacteria lacking PhoP exhibited a hyper-polarized membrane, and dissipation of the transmembrane electrochemical gradient increased the susceptibility of the phoP mutant to acidic pH, while inhibiting respiratory generation of the proton gradient restored resistance to antimicrobial peptides independent of lipopolysaccharide modification. These findings demonstrate a connection between PhoP, virulence, and the energized state of the membrane.

Project description:Antimicrobial resistance pose a global thread nowadays. Compounds of natural origin are an important source of drugs used in clinical practice. However, it is important to understand both their principles of efficacy and their molecular mechanism of action. In this study we evaluated antimicrobial potential of t-cinnamaldehyde which is an organic compound found in many plant species, especially in the Cinnamomum genus, such as Cinnamomum zeylanicum and cassia. Cinnamon oil extracted from the bark of these plants contains up to 80% trans-cinnamaldehyde. Although CNMA has shown antimicrobial properties against numerous Gram+ and Gram- species, its mode of action against pathogens remains not fuly elucidated. Therefore, this project aims to determine CNMA activity at the level of gene expression. Total RNA was isolated and checked for quality using the Bioanalyzer 2100. The sequencing run was conducted on the Illumina NovaSeq6000 platform. 30 million pair-end reads per samples were assessed with 101 pb read length. Reference E. coli MG1655 genome sequence and annotations were downloaded from GenBank. Differentially expressed analysis of 0.25 x MIC CNMA was performed against untreated control in indicated time with p ≤ 0.001 and log2FC ≥ 1.5. We have discovered many changes bacterial transcriptome. For instance: following the treatment with 0.25×MIC of CNMA, we found 292 and 140 upregulated and 107 and 96 downregulated genes at time points 30 and 60 min, respectively. Among the most enriched genes, were those related to the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle, flagellum synthesis, amino acid transport, and oxidoreductase activity. According to these findings we can conclude that observed transcriprional pattern indicates severe metabolic downshift in treated cells, and consequently activation of stress processes. These was in line with our secondary experiments which revealed drop in growth kinnetic, cytoplasm shrinkage, NAD/NADH level alteration and elevation of stringent response alarmones ((p)ppGpp). Taken together, this suggests that CNMA-treated E. coli bacteria undergo major metabolic changes that finally result in cell death.

Project description:The rise of antimicrobial resistant pathogens calls for new antibacterial treatments, but potent new compounds are scarce. Development of new antibiotics is difficult, especially against Gram-negative bacteria, as here uptake is strongly hindered by the additional outer membrane. Most antimicrobial agents against Gram-negatives use the porin mediated pathway to cross the outer membrane, which limits the choice of an antibiotic, as it has to fit by size, charge and hydrophilicity. In E. coli, the major porins OmpF and OmpC are associated with antibiotic translocation and therefore also with unspecific antibiotic cross-resistance. In this regard, alternative uptake routes are of interest. We were interested in the uptake opportunities of the small, natural product antibiotic negamycin and thereby found new uptake pathways across the outer membrane of E. coli. Besides OmpF and OmpC, we investigated the role of the minor porins OmpN and ChiP in negamycin translocation. We detected an effect of OmpN and ChiP on negamycin susceptibility and confirmed passage by electrophysiological assays. The structure of OmpN was resolved in order to analyze the negamycin translocation mechanism by computational simulations. As abundancy of these minor porins was low in E. coli, their transcript levels were analyzed by RNA-Seq. Increased transcripts levels of ompN and chiP were observed upon negamycin treatment, hinting at a role in antibiotic uptake. These new, additional uptake pathways across the outer membrane of E. coli highlight the antibiotic potential of negamycin, especially as resistance development is low due to availability of multiple uptake routes at both the outer and inner membranes

Project description:Sulfonamides are traditional synthetic antimicrobial agents used in clinical and veterinary medical settings. Their long-term excessive overuse has resulted in widespread microbial resistance, limiting their application for medical interventions. Resistance to sulfonamides is primarily conferred by the alternative genes sul1, sul2, and sul3 encoding dihydropteroate synthase in bacteria. Studying the potential fitness cost of these sul genes is crucial for understanding the evolution and transmission of sulfonamide-resistant bacteria. In vitro studies have been conducted on the fitness cost of sul genes in bacteria. In this study, we provide critical insights into bacterial adaptation and transmission using an in vivo approach.

Project description:With the increasing resistance of many Gram-negative bacteria to existing classes of antibiotics, identifying new paradigms in antimicrobial discovery is an important research priority. Of special interest here are the proteins required for the biogenesis of the symmetric Gram-negative bacterial outer membrane. Seven Lpt proteins (LptA-G) associate in most Gram-negative bacteria to form a macromolecular complex spanning the entire envelope, which transports LPS molecules from their site of assembly at the inner membrane to the cell surface, powered by ATP hydrolysis in the cytoplasm. The periplasmic protein LptA comprises the protein bridge across the periplasm, which connects LptB2FGC at the inner membrane to LptD/E anchored in the outer membrane. We show here that the naturally occurring insect derived antimicrobial peptide thanatin targets LptA and LptD in the network of periplasmic protein-protein interactions required to assemble the Lpt complex, leading to inhibition ofLPS transport and OM biogenesis in Escherichia coli.
