Project description:Avian pathogenic Escherichia coli strains frequently cause extra-intestinal infections and are responsible for significant economic losses in the poultry industry worldwide. APEC isolates are closely related to human extraintestinal pathogenic E.coli strains and may also act as pathogens for humans. In this work, three type VI secretion systems were deleted to analyze which pathogenicity characteristics would change in the mutants, compared to wild type strain (SEPT 362). Four Avian Pathogenic Escherichia coli strains (one wild type and three deleted mutants) were grown at 37°C in Dulbecco´s Modified Eagle´s Media (DMEM) media until reach O.D 600 = 0.8, for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymatrix microarrays.

Project description:Avian Pathogenic Escherichia coli (APEC) are a group of extra-intestinal E. coli that infect poultry, and are able to cause a variety of diseases, systemic or localized, collectively designated as colibacillosis. Colibacillosis is the most common bacterial illness in poultry production, resulting in significant economic losses world-wide. Despite of its importance, pathogenicity mechanisms of APEC strains remain not completelly elucidated and available vaccines are not fully effectives. In order to better understand which genes could be related to pathogenicity in different APEC isolated, a microarray analyses of two APEC strains representing: Swollen Head Syndrome and Omphalitis was carried out.

Project description:RNA-Seq was performed on Avian pathogenic E. coli (APEC) WT and mutant to investigate the pathogenicity of ArcA (Aerobic Respiratory Control), a global regulator important for E. coli’s adaptation from anaerobic to aerobic conditions and control of that bacterium’s enzymatic defenses against ROS.

Project description:Avian Pathogenic Escherichia coli (APEC) poses a significant threat to the global poultry industry and has also zoonotic potential, meaning it could infect humans. One critical factor in APEC infection is its ability to adhere to host tissues, a process mediated by a protein called FdeC among others. This protein is present in pathogenic E. coli strains but is often nonfunctional in nonpathogenic ones. Our study focused on understanding the role of FdeC in APEC's ability to bind to chicken intestinal cells. Through an extensive screen of 2000 transposon mutants from the APEC IMT5155 strain, we discovered that a specific mutation in the fdeC gene led to enhanced adhesion. However, a direct deletion of the fdeC gene did not produce the same effect under standard conditions, which led us to investigate the environmental factors that might regulate FdeC expression. We found that FdeC's expression is highly dependent on the environmental conditions such as temperature and pH. Using optimized conditions for FdeC expression, we observed significantly higher adhesion and motility levels in the fdeC-deleted IMT5155 strain compared to the wild type. To understand the mechanisms behind this, we employed mass spectrometry and discovered that the absence of FdeC led to changes in ion transport and downregulated a protein called YbjN, which usually inhibits bacterial movement. Collectively, our findings suggest that FdeC has host-dependent expression and contributes to enhancement of bacterial fitness by modulating motility during colonization.

Project description:Colisepticemia caused by avian pathogenic Escherichia coli (APEC) results in annual multimillion dollar losses to the poultry industry. Recent research suggests that APEC may have an important role in public health as well. Generally, colisepticemia follows a respiratory tract infection in which APEC penetrate the respiratory epithelium to enter the bloodstream. From the bloodstream, bacteria may spread to various internal organs resulting in perihepatitis, pericarditis, and other conditions. The aim of this study was to identify molecular mechanisms enabling APEC to survive and grow in the bloodstream. To do so, we compared the transcriptome of APEC O1 during growth in Luria-Bertani broth and chicken serum. Selected genes that were significantly up-regulated in chicken serum were then subjected to mutational analysis to confirm their role in APEC pathogenesis. Several categories of genes, predicted to contribute to adaptation and growth in the avian host, were identified. These included several known virulence genes and genes involved in adaptive metabolism, protein transport, biosynthesis pathways, stress resistance, and virulence regulation. Several genes with unknown function, which were localized to pathogenicity islands or APEC O1’s large virulence plasmid, were also identified, suggesting that they too contribute to survival in chicken serum. This genome-wide analysis provides novel insight into processes that are essential to APEC O1’s survival and growth in chicken serum. Two-condition experiment: LB vs. chicken serm; four biological replicates, independently grown and harvested.
