Project description:We previously showed that doxycycline and carprofen , a veterinary non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug, have synergistic antimicrobial activity against methicillin-resistant Staphylococus pseudintermedius (MRSP) carrying the tetracycline resistance determinant TetK. To elucidate the molecular mechanism of this synergy, we investigated the effects of the two drugs, individually and in combination, using a comprehensive approach including two-dimensional differential in-gel electrophoresis (2D DIGE).

Project description:Staphylococcus aureus is a leading cause of hospital-associated infections. In addition, highly virulent strains of methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) are currently spreading outside health care settings. Survival in the human host is largely defined by the ability of S. aureus to resist mechanisms of innate host defense, of which antimicrobial peptides form a key part especially on epithelia and in neutrophil phagosomes. Here we demonstrate that the antimicrobial-peptide sensing system aps of the standard community-associated MRSA strain MW2 controls resistance to cationic antimicrobial peptides. The core of aps-controlled resistance mechanisms comprised the D-alanylation of teichoic acids (dlt operon), the incorporation of cationic lysyl-phosphatidylglycerol (L-PG) in the bacterial membrane (mprF), and the vraF/vraG putative antimicrobial peptide transporter. Further, the observed increased production of L-PG under the influence of cationic antimicrobial peptides was accompanied by the up-regulation of lysine biosynthesis. In noticeable difference to the aps system of S. epidermidis, only selected antimicrobial peptides strongly induced the aps response. Heterologous complementation with the S. epidermidis apsS gene indicated that this is likely caused by differences in the short extracellular loop of ApsS that interacts with the inducing antimicrobial peptide. Our study shows that the antimicrobial peptide sensor system aps is functional in the important human pathogen S. aureus, significant interspecies differences exist in the induction of the aps gene regulatory response, and aps inducibility is clearly distinguishable from effectiveness towards a given antimicrobial peptide.

Project description:“Viable but non-culturable” (VBNC) states pose challenges for environmental and clinical microbiology, but their biological mechanisms remain obscure. Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), the leading cause of death from infection until COVID-19, affords a striking example. Mtb can enter into a “differentially detectable” (DD) state associated with phenotypic antimicrobial resistance in which Mtb cells are viable but undetectable as colony-forming units. We found that Mtb cells enter the DD state when they undergo sublethal oxidative stress that damages their DNA, proteins, and lipids, and in addition, their replication is delayed, allowing repair. Mycobacterium bovis and BCG fail to enter the DD state under similar conditions. These findings have implications for TB latency, detection, relapse, treatment monitoring, and development of regimens that overcome phenotypic antimicrobial resistance.
