Vaginal Lactobacillus fatty acid response mechanisms reveal a metabolite-targeted strategy for bacterial vaginosis treatment

Project description:Bacterial vaginosis (BV), a common syndrome characterized by Lactobacillus-deficient vaginal microbiota, is associated with adverse health outcomes. BV often recurs after standard antibiotic therapy in part because antibiotics promote microbiota dominance by Lactobacillus iners instead of Lactobacillus crispatus, which has more beneficial health associations. Strategies to promote L. crispatus and inhibit L. iners are thus needed. We show that oleic acid (OA) and similar long-chain fatty acids simultaneously inhibit L. iners and enhance L. crispatus growth. These phenotypes require OA-inducible genes conserved in L. crispatus and related lactobacilli, including an oleate hydratase (ohyA) and putative fatty acid efflux pump (farE). FarE mediates OA resistance, while OhyA is robustly active in the vaginal microbiota and enhances bacterial fitness by biochemically sequestering OA in a derivative form only ohyA-harboring organisms can exploit. OA promotes L. crispatus dominance more effectively than antibiotics in an in vitro BV model, suggesting a metabolite-based treatment approach.

Transcriptomic analysis of bacterial vaginosis-associated bacteria living in single or multispecies biofilms

Project description:Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is the most common cause of vaginal discharge among women worldwide. BV is characterized by an imbalance in the vaginal microbiota with depletion of protective Lactobacillus species and overgrowth of facultative and strictly anaerobic bacteria. Although the development of a polymicrobial biofilm on the vaginal epithelium is a hallmark of BV, interactions between key BV-associated bacteria (BVAB) [i.e. Gardnerella vaginalis, Fannyhessea vaginae, and Prevotella bivia] present in the biofilm are still not completely understood. In this study, we aimed to analyse the transcriptome of single and triple-species biofilms growing in the rich medium, New York City III (NYCIII). A previous analysis of triple-species biofilms composition by qPCR showed that the biofilms were mainly composed of G. vaginalis, followed by F. vaginae and P. bivia. The transcriptomic analysis revealed a total of 431 (34 upregulated and 397 downregulated), 126 (36 upregulated and 90 downregulated), and 39 (31 upregulated and 8 downregulated) differentially expressed genes for G. vaginalis, F. vaginae, and P. bivia, respectively. Gene ontology only detected enrichment for the downregulated genes of G. vaginalis and 47 GO terms were associated with molecular functions, cellular components and biological processes, mainly metabolism. Hence, this work showed the adaptation of 3 BVAB when growing in a triple-species biofilm, with several genes being differentially expressed in all the species growing in a polymicrobial biofilm.

The Microbial Ecology of Bacterial Vaginosis: A Fine Scale Resolution Metagenomic Analysis

Project description:<p>Archived self-collected vaginal swabs were utilized from a pilot study of vaginal douching cessation (NIH/NIAID R03-AI061131). Thirty-nine non-pregnant, reproductive-age women who reported the use of vaginal douche products in the two months prior to screening were enrolled. Thirty-three of these successfully completed the 16-week longitudinal study. Participants self-collected vaginal swabs and smears twice weekly. We report sequences based on the analysis of 16S rRNA gene sequences amplified from whole genomic DNA isolated from the swabs. Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is defined by Gram's stain of vaginal fluid (Nugent's score ≥7).</p> <p>The large body of information generated will facilitate understanding of vaginal microbial community dynamics, the etiology of BV, and drive the development of better diagnostic tools for BV. Furthermore, it is hoped that the information will enable a more personalized treatment of BV and ultimately, prevent adverse sequelae associated with BV.</p>

Effect of bacterial vaginosis, Lactobacillus and Premarin estrogen replacement therapy on vaginal gene expression changes.

Project description:The aim of the study was to investigate gene expression profiles of post-menopausal women receiving Premarin estrogen replacement therapy (ERT), compared to controls and to examine any correlations between the bacterial vaginosis (BV) status of the stubjects. This is the first study to use gene arrays to correlate changes in host expression to ERT and BV.

Organisms associated with bacterial vaginosis in Nigerian women as determined by PCR-DGGE and 16S rRNA gene sequence.

Project description:BACKGROUND: Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is a condition with diverse etiology. This condition predisposes women to increased susceptibility to sexually transmitted diseases, including human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infections and preterm birth. The diagnostic methods currently adopted in the evaluation of patient samples for BV are arguably Amsel criteria, and Nugent score that require microscopy and expert interpretation. These two methods are still subjective. OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to determine the organisms present in the vagina of 34 HIV negative Nigerian women diagnosed as having bacterial vaginosis by using molecular techniques. METHODS: The vaginal samples were subjected to DNA extraction, and amplified with eubacterial primers via PCR. The PCR products were separated using denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE). Bands were excised, re-amplified, purified and sequenced. Sequence identification was performed using the BLAST algorithm and Genbank data base. RESULTS: Mycoplasma hominis (12/34; 35%) was the most common isolate and 9 (26%) contained one of two clones of an unusual Rainbow Trout intestinal bacterium, while unculturable Streptococcus sp, and other bacteria made up the remaining isolates. CONCLUSIONS: The findings indicate further diversity in the etiological agents associated with BV, and raise the question as to whether diagnosis and management of this condition needs to be re-evaluated in countries like Nigeria. There is some controversy over the clinical importance of BV, as it was once regarded as a disease caused by Gardnerella and presenting as an odourous discharge condition, but is now diagnosed without necessarily the presence of these organisms or signs. With the incidence of BV aligned to an increased risk of HIV in a country ravaged by this virus, the effective eradication of BV can only be achieved if appropriate therapies are delivered.

Use of species-directed 16S rRNA gene PCR primers for detection of Atopobium vaginae in patients with bacterial vaginosis.

Project description:Recent studies suggest that the association between a metronidazole-resistant anaerobe, Atopobium vaginae, and bacterial vaginosis (BV) warrants further investigation. In the present study, specific primers enhanced detection of A. vaginae and provided additional evidence that this bacterium is prevalent among patients with BV but absent among patients with normal vaginal flora.

Differences in vaginal microbiota, host transcriptome and proteins in women with bacterial vaginosis are associated with metronidazole treatment response

Project description:Bacterial vaginosis (BV) treatment failures or recurrences are common. To identify features associated with treatment response, we compared vaginal microbiota and host ectocervical transcriptome before and after oral metronidazole therapy. Response to metronidazole is characterized by significant changes in chemokines and related transcripts suggesting that strategies to promote these pathways may prove beneficial.
