Project description:To determine the role of the second gene in the vra operon (vraT) in the stress response to oxacillin, we compared the oxacillin induction profiles in a vraT deletion strain to that of a vraSR mutant in a USA300 MRSA strain background. Nonpolar deletion of vraT and insertional inactivation of vraS was constructed in MRSA strain USA300.

Project description:Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) remains a global health threat with an over 14% fatality rate, in case of invasive infection, in 2011. Multi-drug resistance is the main reason for the failure of therapy. Use of antimicrobial drug combinations with synergistic effect is increasingly seen as a critical strategy to combat multi-drug resistant pathogens such as MRSA. However, the mechanism of synergistic effect has yet been systematically studied. In this work, we investigated a new erythromycin derivative, SIPI-8294, which has been demonstrated to have synergistic effect with oxacillin against MRSA, unlike its parent compound erythromycin. To obtain insights into the mechanism for the synergistic effect, label-free quantitative proteomics was employed. Cultured MRSA was exposed to sub-inhibitory doses of oxacillin, SIPI-8294, erythromycin, and combinations of SIPI-8294/oxacillin and erythromycin/oxacillin to reveal the global proteome responses to drug treatment. Results showed that 200 proteins were differentially expressed in SIPI-8294/oxacillin-treated cells. Among these proteins, the expression levels of penicillin binding protein 2a and β-lactamase, two proteins mainly responsible for oxacillin resistance, were four times lower in the SIPI-8294/oxacillin treatment group than in the erythromycin/oxacillin treatment group. Quantitative real-time PCR analysis also revealed similar trends at the transcription level. These results suggest that the synergistic mechanism may be related to interference with the known oxacillin resistance mechanism. The data also provided some evidence that the combination of SIPI-8294 and oxacillin appears to impact oxidation-reduction homeostasis and cell wall biosynthesis.

Project description:The success of community-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (CA-MRSA) as pathogens is due to a combination of antibiotic resistance with high virulence. However, evolution of the exceptional virulence potential of CA-MRSA is not understood. Our previous study indicated that differential gene expression contributes substantially to this process. Thus, we here investigated the role of the pivotal virulence gene regulatory system agr in the most prevalent CA-MRSA strain USA300. Using a mouse subcutaneous infection model, we show that agr is essential for the development of CA-MRSA skin infections, the most frequent manifestation of disease caused by CA-MRSA. Furthermore, genome-wide analysis of gene expression revealed significant differences in agr-dependent virulence gene regulation between CA-MRSA, HA-MRSA, and laboratory strains. Our findings demonstrate that agr functionality is critical for CA-MRSA disease and indicate that an adaptation of the agr regulon to optimize expression of a broad set of virulence determinants may have contributed to the evolution of exceptionally pronounced virulence of CA-MRSA strains.

Project description:In the community and clinical settings MRSA infections are more commonly caused by a USA300 strain vs a USA400 strain. The study aims to compare gene expression patterns of Staphyloccoccus aureus USA300(reference) vs USA400(query) and to determine why USA400 is being replaced by a USA300 strain.

Project description:Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infections result in more than 200,000 hospitalizations and 10,000 deaths in the United States each year and remain an important medical challenge. To better understand the transcriptome of Staphylococcus aureus USA300 NRS384, a community-acquired MRSA strain, we have conducted an RNA-Seq experiment on WT samples.

Project description:Approximatively 75% of the genome of S. aureus (“core” genome) are highly conserved between strains, whereas the remaining 25% (“accessory” genome) are composed of variable regions that are mostly composed of mobile genetic elements (MGE), containing virulence and resistance genes. We have developed a composite DNA-microarray (StaphVar Array) which selectively targets 403 genes located on the accessory or core variable genome. Target genes encode antimicrobial resistance factors (35 %), virulence factors (28 %) and adhesins (31%). This microarray was validated with reference strains and used to characterize the genomic DNA of 13 community-acquired methicillin resistant S. aureus (CA-MRSA) strains representative of all the Multilocus Sequence Types (STs) described to date in Belgium. Analysis of gene content of 8 reference strains by the StaphVar Array matched 96 to 99% of the theoretical results. Analysis of CA-MRSA strains showed that 54.4 % of the genes tested were strain-dependent. Strains presented specific exotoxin, enterotoxin, cytolysin and adhesin gene profile by multi-locus sequence typing (MLST) lineage. One exception to these “lineage-specific” gene profile was the variable presence of the Arginin Catabolic Mobile Element (ACME, characteristic of the USA300 clone) within ST8 strains. In conclusion, this novel StaphVar array enables characterization of more than 400 variable resistance and virulence determinants in S. aureus strains. CA-MRSA strains from Belgium displayed extensive diversity in virulence and resistance profile. The presence of the USA 300 clone in our country was confirmed. Although mainly located on MGE, association of virulence genes were highly conserved within strains of the same MLST lineage.

The study aims to compare gene expression patterns of Staphyloccoccus aureus USA300(reference) vs USA400(query) and to determine why USA400 is being replaced by a USA300 strain. The USA300 and USA400 isolates were grown in TSA media to early log, mid log, late log and stationary phase. RNA samples were extracted and samples were hybridized on aminosilane coated slides with 70-mer oligos. Differential gene expression patterns were compared between the two strains.

Project description:Little is known about the expression of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) genes during infection conditions. Here, we described the transcriptome of the clinical MRSA strain USA300 derived from human cutaneous abscesses, and compared it with USA300 bacteria derived from infected kidneys in a mouse model. Remarkable similarity between the transcriptomes allowed us to identify genes encoding multiple proteases and toxins, and iron- and peptide-transporter molecules, which are upregulated in both infections and are likely important for establishment of infection. We also showed that disruption of the global transcriptional regulators agr and sae prevents in vivo upregulation of many toxins and proteases, protecting mice from lethal infection dose, and hinting at the role of these transcriptional regulators in the pathology of MRSA infection.
