Project description:Zoonotic pathogens that can be transmitted via food to humans have a high potential for large-scale emergencies, comprising severe effects on public health, critical infrastructures, and the economy. In this context, the development of laboratory methods to rapidly detect zoonotic bacteria in the food supply chain, including high-resolution mass spectrometry are needed. In this work, an optimized sample preparation method for liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) based proteome profiling was established for Francisella isolates and a cluster analysis, as well as a phylogenetic tree, was calculated to shed light on evolutionary relationships. Furthermore, this method was applied to tissues of infected hare carcasses from Germany. Even though the non-informative data outnumbered by a manifold the information of the zoonotic pathogen in the resulting proteome profiles, the standardized evaluation of MS data within an established automated analysis pipeline identified F. tularensis and thus is in principle an applicable method to monitor food supply chains.

Project description:Aiming to reduce food spoilage, the present study developed novel highly active food-grade preservatives affecting a wide range of bacteria. For this purpose, storage proteins were extracted from food plants. After enzymatic hydrolysis by the digestive protease chymotrypsin, the peptide profiles were analyzed by ultrahigh-performance micro-liquid chromatography–triple quadrupole time-of-flight tandem mass spectrometry. Virtual screening identified 21 potential antimicrobial peptides in chickpea legumin. Among those, the peptides Leg1 (RIKTVTSFDLPALRFLKL) and Leg2 (RIKTVTSFDLPALRWLKL) exhibited antimicrobial activity against 16 different bacteria, including pathogens, spoilage-causing bacteria and two antibiotic-resistant strains. Minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) down to 15.6 µM indicated 10–1,000-fold higher activity of the novel antimicrobial peptides compared to conventional food preservatives. Moreover, Leg1 and Leg2 showed bactericidal activity in bacterial suspension and during the storage of raw pork meat.

Project description:Antimicrobials have been shown to select for changes in biofilm formation and multidrug susceptibility in common human pathogens. We investigated whether common food preservatives selected for these changes in the food pathogen Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium. Bacteria were exposed to four food preservatives in either planktonic cultures or biofilms grown on stainless steel beads. Cultures were passaged into fresh media supplemented with the food preservative every 72 hours. Following approximately 1000 generations of continuous preservative exposure, populations were sequenced to determine the single nucleotide polymorphisms that were selected for over evolutionary time.

Project description:Background: The food-borne pathogen Campylobacter is one of the most important zoonotic pathogens. Compared to other zoonotic bacteria, Campylobacter species are quite susceptible to environmental or technological stressors. This might be due to the lack of many stress response mechanisms described in other bacteria. Nevertheless, Campylobacter is able to survive in the environment and food products. Although some aspects of the heat stress response in Campylobacter (C.) jejuni are already known, information about the heat stress response in the related species C. coli and C. lari are still unknown. Results: The stress response to elevated temperatures (46°C) was investigated by survival assays and whole transcriptome analyses for the strain C. jejuni NCTC11168, C. coli RM2228 and C. lari RM2100. While C. jejuni showed highest thermotolerance followed by C. lari and C. coli, none of the strains survived at this temperature for more than 24 hours. Transcriptomic analyses revealed that only 3 % of the genes in C. jejuni and approx. 20 % of the genes of C. coli and C. lari were differentially expressed after heat stress, respectively. The transcriptomic profiles showed enhanced gene expression of several chaperones like dnaK, groES, groEL and clpB in all strains, but differences in the gene expression of transcriptional regulators like hspR, perR as well as for genes involved in metabolic pathways, translation processes and membrane components. However, the function of many of the differentially expressed gene is unknown so far. Conclusion: We could demonstrate differences in the ability to survive at elevated temperatures for C. jejuni, C. coli and C. lari and showed for the first time transcriptomic analyses of the heat stress response of C. coli and C. lari. Our data suggest that the heat stress response of C. coli and C. lari are more similar to each other compared to C. jejuni, even though on genetic level a higher homology exists between C. jejuni and C. coli. This indicates that stress response mechanisms described for C. jejuni might be unique for this species and not necessarily transferable to other Campylobacter species.

Project description:The aim of this experiment was to determine if the development of resistance to antibiotics can be driven by the concentration and speciation of Cu. Experimental setup was designed to investigate two hypotheses for which two strains of Gram- bacteria have been selected: - Do TE enhance AR in resistant bacteria? Resistant strain: Bioluminescent Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1 (Xen41, Tetracycline resistant) - Do TE induce AR in sensitive bacteria? Sensitive strain: Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1 (Wild Type)
