Project description:Purified phage was used to prevent tumor growth in a mouse model of bacteria aggravated-colorectal cancer. Composite E. coli phage or vehicle control was added to the drinking water of specific pathogen free (SPF) APCmin mice and animals were colonized with E.coli NC101. APCmin mice displayed no overall difference in the number of tumors that formed within the small intestine, however colonization with E. coli NC101 accelerated the growth of tumors resulting in a significant increase in large tumor formation. Importantly, bacteriophage treatment of AIEC colonized APCmin animals significantly reduced E. coli colonization.

Project description:An important lesson from the war on pathogenic bacteria has been the need to understand the physiological responses and evolution of natural microbial communities. Bacterial populations in the environment are generally forming biofilms subject to some level of phage predation. These multicellular communities are notoriously resistant to antimicrobials and, consequently, very difficult to eradicate. This has sparked the search for new therapeutic alternatives, including phage therapy. This study demonstrates that S. aureus biofilms formed in the presence of a non-lethal dose of phage phiIPLA-RODI exhibit a unique physiological state that could potentially benefit both the host and the predator. Thus, biofilms formed under phage pressure are thicker and have a greater DNA content. Also, the virus-infected biofilm displayed major transcriptional differences compared to an untreated control. Significantly, RNA-seq data revealed activation of the stringent response, which could slow down the advance of the bacteriophage within the biofilm. The end result would be an equilibrium that would help bacterial cells to withstand environmental challenges, while maintaining a reservoir of sensitive bacterial cells available to the phage upon reactivation of the dormant carrier population.

Project description:The basic biology of bacteriophage–host interactions has attracted increasing attention due to a renewed interest in the therapeutic potential of bacteriophages. In addition, knowledge of the host pathways inhibited by phage may provide clues to novel drug targets. However, the effect of phage on bacterial gene expression and metabolism is still poorly understood. In this study, we tracked phage–host interactions by combining transcriptomic and metabolomic analyses in Pseudomonas aeruginosa infected with a lytic bacteriophage, PaP1. Compared with the uninfected host, 7.1% (399/5655) of the genes of the phage-infected host were differentially expressed genes (DEGs); of those, 354 DEGs were downregulated at the late infection phase. Many of the downregulated DEGs were found in amino acid and energy metabolism pathways. Using metabolomics approach, we then analyzed the changes in metabolite levels in the PaP1-infected host compared to un-infected controls. Thymidine was significantly increased in the host after PaP1 infection, results that were further supported by increased expression of a PaP1-encoded thymidylate synthase gene. Furthermore, the intracellular betaine concentration was drastically reduced, whereas choline increased, presumably due to downregulation of the choline–glycine betaine pathway. Interestingly, the choline–glycine betaine pathway is a potential antimicrobial target; previous studies have shown that betB inhibition results in the depletion of betaine and the accumulation of betaine aldehyde, the combination of which is toxic to P. aeruginosa. These results present a detailed description of an example of phage-directed metabolism in P. aeruginosa. Both phage-encoded auxiliary metabolic genes and phage-directed host gene expression may contribute to the metabolic changes observed in the host.

Project description:Bacteriophages are potent therapeutics against biohazardous bacteria that are rapidly acquiring multidrug resistance. However, routine administration of bacteriophage therapy is currently impeded by a lack of safe phage production methodologies and insufficient phage characterization. We thus developed a versatile cell-free platform for host-independent production of phages targeting gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. A few microliters of a one-pot reaction produces effective doses of phages against potentially antibiotic-resistant bacteria such as enterohemorrhagic E. coli (EAEC) and Yersinia pestis, which also possibly pose threats as biological warfare agents. We also introduce a method for transient, non-genomic phage engineering to safely confer additional functions, such as a purification tag or bioluminescence for host detection, for only one replication cycle. Using high-resolution and time-resolved mass spectrometry, we validated the expression of 40 hypothetical proteins from two different phages (T7 and CLB-P3) and identified genes in the genome of phage T7 that express exceptionally late during phage replication. Our comprehensive methodology thus allows for accelerated reverse and forward phage engineering as well as for safe and customized production of clinical-grade therapeutic bacteriophages.

Project description:Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteriophage PhiKZ is the type representative of the M-bM-^@M-^XgiantM-bM-^@M-^Y phage genus with unusually large virions and genomes. By unraveling the transcriptional map of the 280 kb genome to single-nucleotide resolution, we show that it encodes 369 genes organized in 134 operons, 20% more than originally annotated. Early transcription is initiated from 28 highly conserved AT-rich promoters distributed over the PhiKZ genome, all located on the same strand. Transcription of middle and late genes is dependent on protein synthesis and mediated by very poorly conserved middle (6) and late (16) promoters. As a result of massive PhiKZ transcription, halfway through infection only 1.5% of all mRNAs in the infected cell remain bacterial. Unique to PhiKZ is its ability to complete its infection in complete absence of bacterial RNA polymerase (RNAP) enzyme activity. Its transcription is performed by the consecutive action of two PhiKZ-encoded, non-canonical RNAPs, one of which is packed within the virion. This unique, rifampicin-resistant transcriptional machinery is conserved among giant viruses, seems to function without auxiliary factors and might have its origin preceding the split between Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. Construction of transcription maps for the PhiKZ phage and analysis of differential expression of host and phage genes using RNA-Seq data from samples taken in duplicate at 0, 5, 10, 15, and 35 minutes into infection.

Project description:We observed the expression profile of the total mRNA in crp (TTHA1437) deletion mutant strain of Thermus thermophilus HB8 during infection of bacteriophage ϕYS40. Keywords: time course, bacteriophage, infection, CRP, cAMP receptor protein, deletion mutant Three crp (TTHA1437) delection mutant strain of T. thermophilus HB8 were pre-cultured at 70 C for 16 h in 3 ml of TT medium containing 0.8% polypeptone, 0.4% yeast extract, 0.2% NaCl, 0.4 mM CaCl2, and 0.4 mM MgCl2, which was adjusted to pH 7.2 with NaOH. The cells (2 ml) were inoculated into 1 liter of the same medium and then cultivated at 70°C until A600 value being ~0.8 (1.7 108 cells/ml) that corresponds to logarithmic growth phase. Then the FYS40 phage was infected to the medium at multiplicity of infection (m.o.i.) being ~1, and continued cultivation. Cells were collected after 0, 75 and 100 min infection, and then crude RNA was extracted. The expression of each mRNA at each time point was analyzed on a GeneChip as described under Sample Description Sheet of each sample.

Project description:Bacteriophages are highly abundant viruses of bacteria. The major role of phages in shaping bacterial communities and their emerging medical potential as antibacterial agents has trig-gered a rebirth of phage research. To understand the molecular mechanisms by which phages hijack their host, omics technologies can provide novel insights into the organization of tran-scriptional and translational events occurring during the infection process. In this study, we ap-ply transcriptomics and proteomics to characterize the temporal patterns of transcription and protein synthesis during T4 phage infection of E. coli. We investigated the stability of E. coli-originated transcripts and proteins in the course of infection, identifying degradation of E. coli transcripts and preservation of the host proteome. Moreover, the correlation of the phage transcriptome and proteome reveals specific T4 phage mRNAs and proteins that are temporally decoupled, suggesting post-transcriptional and translational regulation mechanisms. This study provides the first comprehensive insights into the molecular takeover of E. coli by bacteriophage T4. This data set represents a valuable resource for future studies seeking to study molecular and regulatory events during infection. We created a user-friendly online tool, POTATO4, available to the scientific community to access gene expression patterns for E. coli and T4 genes.
