Project description:Clostridioides difficile is one of the most common nosocomial pathogens and a global public health threat. Upon colonization of the gastrointestinal tract, C. difficile is exposed to a rapidly changing polymicrobial environment and a dynamic metabolic milieu. Despite the link between the gut microbiota and susceptibility to C. difficile, the impact of synergistic interactions between the microbiota and pathogens on the outcome of infection is largely unknown. Here, we show that microbial cooperation between C. difficile and Enterococcus has a profound impact on the growth, metabolism, and pathogenesis of C. difficile.. Through a process of nutrient restriction and metabolite cross-feeding, E. faecalis shapes the metabolic environment in the gut to enhance C. difficile fitness and increase toxin production. These findings demonstrate that members of the microbiota, such as Enterococcus, have a previously unappreciated impact on C. difficile behavior and virulence.

Project description:The intestines house a diverse microbiota that must compete for nutrients to survive, but the specific limiting nutrients that control pathogen colonization are not clearly defined. Clostridioides difficile colonization typically requires prior disruption of the microbiota, suggesting that outcompeting commensals for resources is key in establishing C. difficile infection (CDI). The immune protein calprotectin (CP) is released into the gut lumen during CDI to chelate zinc (Zn) and other essential nutrient metals. Yet, the impact of Zn limitation on C. difficile colonization is unknown. To define C. difficile responses to Zn limitation, we performed RNA sequencing on C. difficile exposed to CP. In media with CP, C. difficile upregulated genes involved in metal homeostasis and amino acid metabolism.

Project description:Purpose: to determine the differentially expressed genes in the phase-variable rough and smooth colony isolates of C. difficile Methods: C. difficile R20291 was grown on BHIS agar to obtain distinct colonies. Individual rough and smooth colonies were chosen for propagation on BHIS-agar for 24 hours as described in Garrett, et al., PLoS Biology, 2019. Growth was collected from n = 2 biological replicates. RNA was purified using TriSure and chloroform, beadbeating, and isopropanol/ethanol precipitation. Quality was verified with Bioanalyzer Assay. Samples were submitted to Genewiz for depletion of rRNA using the TruSeq RiboZero Gold Kit, library preparation, and single-end sequencing on the Illumina HiSeq 2500 platform. RNA sequencing analysis was done using CLC Genomic Workbench v20. Reads were mapped to C. difficile R20291 genome using the software's default menalties for mismatch, deletion, and insertion differences from the reference genome. Transcript reads were normalized as RPKM. Results: 88 genes were differentially expressed between bacteria from rough versus smooth colonies, with equal to or greater than a 2-fold change and p < 0.05 with FDR correction.

Project description:The Clostridioides difficile toxins TcdA and TcdB are responsible for diarrhea and colitis. The aim of this project was to explore the effects of the toxins on epithelial barrier function and the molecular mechanisms for diarrhea and inflammation. RNA-seq of toxin-treated intestinal cell monolayers was performed to describe the C. difficile-mediated effects. mRNA profiles from intestinale epithelial cells were generated by deep sequencing using Illumina NovaSeq 6000. This data provide the basis for subsequent upstream regulator analysis.

Project description:We illustrate how metabolically distinct species of Clostridia can protect against or worsen Clostridioides difficile infection, modulating the pathogen's colonization, growth, and virulence to impact host survival. Gnotobiotic mice colonized with the amino acid fermenter Paraclostridium bifermentans survived infection while mice colonized with the butyrate-producer, Clostridium sardiniense, more rapidly succumbed. Systematic in vivo analyses revealed how each commensal altered the gut nutrient environment, modulating the pathogen's metabolism, regulatory networks, and toxin production. Oral administration of P. bifermentans rescued conventional mice from lethal C. difficile infection via mechanisms identified in specifically colonized mice. Our findings lay the foundation for mechanistically informed therapies to counter C. difficile disease using systems biologic approaches to define host-commensal-pathogen interactions in vivo.

Project description:The response to iron limitation of several bacteria is regulated by the ferric uptake regulator (Fur). The Fur-regulated transcriptional, translational and metabolic networks of the Gram-positive, pathogen Clostridioides difficile were investigated by a combined RNA sequencing, proteomic, metabolomic and electron microscopy approach. At high iron conditions (760 g/l) the C. difficile fur mutant displayed a growth deficiency compared to wild type C. difficile cells. Several iron transporters were found induced by Fur regulation during low iron (11 g/l) conditions. The major adaptation to low iron conditions was observed for the central energy metabolism. Most ferredoxin-dependent amino acid fermentations were found significantly down regulated (had, etf, acd, grd, trx, bdc, hbd). The substrates of these pathways phenylalanine, leucine, glycine and some initial intermediates (phenylpyruvate, oxo-isocaproate, 3-hydroxy-butanoyl-CoA, crotonyl-CoA) were found accumulated, while some end product like isocaproate and butanoate were found reduced. Flavodoxin (fldX) formation and riboflavin biosynthesis (rib) were found enhanced, most likely to replace the missing ferredoxins. Proline reductase (prd), the corresponding ion pumping RNF complex (rnf) and the reaction product 5-aminovalerate were significantly enhanced. An ATP forming ATPase (atpCDGAHFEB,) of the F0F1-type was found induced while the formation of a V-type, mostly proton-pumping, ATP-consuming ATPase (atpDBAFCEKI, was decreased. The [Fe-S] enzyme-dependent pyruvate formate lyase (pfl), formate dehydrogenase (fdh) and hydrogenase (hyd) branch of glucose utilization and glycogen biosynthesis (glg) were significantly reduced, leading to an accumulation of glucose and pyruvate. The formation of [Fe-S] enzyme carbon monoxide dehydrogenase (coo) was inhibited. An intensive remodeling of the cell wall was observed most likely to increase antibiotic resistance. Polyamine biosynthesis (spe) was found induced leading to an accumulation of spermine, spermidine and putrescine. The fur mutant lost most of its flagella. Finally, the CRISPR/Cas and a prophage encoding operon were downregulated. Fur binding sites were found upstream of 20 of the regulated genes. Overall, adaptation to low iron conditions in C. difficile focused on an increase of iron import, significant decrease in metabolic iron utilization and protection during the complex transition.
