Project description:Shotgun metagenomic sequencing of nasopharyngeal (NP) samples, from children enrolled in a PCV13-vaccinated South African birth cohort was used to explore strain-level pneumococcal colonization patterns and transmission dynamics, and associated antimicrobial-resistance determinants. NP swabs were collected at two-week intervals from birth through the first year of life from 137 infants. Pneumococcal isolates were serotyped and tested for phenotypic antimicrobial resistance. 196 NP samples from a subset of 23 infants were then selected based on changes in serotype or antimicrobial resistance. DNA was extracted directly from the enriched NP samples and shotgun metagenomic sequencing performed. Reads were assembled and aligned against reference pneumococcal genomes. in silico pneumococcal capsular, multilocus sequence typing, and resistome analyses were performed.

Project description:Candida auris, listed as the “urgent antimicrobial resistance threat” by the CDC in 2023, is an emerging human fungal pathogen. It has resulted in several outbreaks in hospitals and other healthcare facilities which are associated with high mortality rates, ranging from 30 to 60% due to its extensive multidrug resistance to all three classes of antifungal agents (azoles, polyenes, and echinocandins). However, there is limited evidence on its virulence, pathogenicity determinants, and complex host-pathogen interactions4. Understanding the pathogenic mechanism is an important step toward rapidly addressing the new threats posed by C. auris. Here we performed a global transcriptomic analyses in the context of 32 stress conditions to explore the stress-response of C. auris. C. albicans was used for comparison.

Project description:<p>The study of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in infectious diarrhea has generally been limited to cultivation, antimicrobial susceptibility testing and targeted PCR assays. When individual strains of significance are identified, whole genome shotgun (WGS) sequencing of important clones and clades is performed. Genes that encode resistance to antibiotics have been detected in environmental, insect, human and animal metagenomes and are known as "resistomes". While metagenomic datasets have been mined to characterize the healthy human gut resistome in the Human Microbiome Project and MetaHIT and in a Yanomani Amerindian cohort, directed metagenomic sequencing has not been used to examine the epidemiology of AMR. Especially in developing countries where sanitation is poor, diarrhea and enteric pathogens likely serve to disseminate antibiotic resistance elements of clinical significance. Unregulated use of antibiotics further exacerbates the problem by selection for acquisition of resistance. This is exemplified by recent reports of multiple antibiotic resistance in Shigella strains in India, in Escherichia coli in India and Pakistan, and in nontyphoidal Salmonella (NTS) in South-East Asia. We propose to use deep metagenomic sequencing and genome level assembly to study the epidemiology of AMR in stools of children suffering from diarrhea. Here the epidemiology component will be surveillance and analysis of the microbial composition (to the bacterial species/strain level where possible) and its constituent antimicrobial resistance genetic elements (such as plasmids, integrons, transposons and other mobile genetic elements, or MGEs) in samples from a cohort where diarrhea is prevalent and antibiotic exposure is endemic. The goal will be to assess whether consortia of specific mobile antimicrobial resistance elements associate with species/strains and whether their presence is enhanced or amplified in diarrheal microbiomes and in the presence of antibiotic exposure. This work could potentially identify clonal complexes of organisms and MGEs with enhanced resistance and the potential to transfer this resistance to other enteric pathogens.</p> <p>We have performed WGS, metagenomic assembly and gene/protein mapping to examine and characterize the types of AMR genes and transfer elements (transposons, integrons, bacteriophage, plasmids) and their distribution in bacterial species and strains assembled from DNA isolated from diarrheal and non-diarrheal stools. The samples were acquired from a cohort of pediatric patients and controls from Colombia, South America where antibiotic use is prevalent. As a control, the distribution and abundance of AMR genes can be compared to published studies where resistome gene lists from healthy cohort sequences were compiled. Our approach is more epidemiologic in nature, as we plan to identify and catalogue antimicrobial elements on MGEs capable of spread through a local population and further we will, where possible, link mobile antimicrobial resistance elements with specific strains within the population.</p>

Project description:Sulfonamides are traditional synthetic antimicrobial agents used in clinical and veterinary medical settings. Their long-term excessive overuse has resulted in widespread microbial resistance, limiting their application for medical interventions. Resistance to sulfonamides is primarily conferred by the alternative genes sul1, sul2, and sul3 encoding dihydropteroate synthase in bacteria. Studying the potential fitness cost of these sul genes is crucial for understanding the evolution and transmission of sulfonamide-resistant bacteria. In vitro studies have been conducted on the fitness cost of sul genes in bacteria. In this study, we provide critical insights into bacterial adaptation and transmission using an in vivo approach.

Project description:Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is associated with increased morbidity, mortality, and substantial healthcare costs. Peripheral insulin resistance, involving interconnected dysregulation of multiple organs, is considered a major driver of T2D. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are suggested as mediators of this dysregulation based on their properties in intercellular communication. Given the role of skeletal muscle in glucose metabolism, the content of skeletal muscle-derived EVs may provide insights into mechanisms of T2D. To examine this, myotubes from severely obese female T2D donors and matched women with normal glucose tolerance (NGT) were cultured. Small EVs (sEVs) were isolated by differential centrifugation and filter columns and characterized by nanoparticle tracking analysis, flow cytometry, and transmission electron microscopy. The micro-RNA (miR) content of sEV was analyzed via Affymetrix GeneChip miRNA 4.0, while proteins were detected by LC-MS/MS.
