Project description:Carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAb) is an urgent public health threat, according to the CDC. This pathogen has few treatment options and causes severe nosocomial infections with >50% fatality rate. Although previous studies have examined the proteome of CRAb, there have been no focused analyses of dynamic changes to β-lactamase expression that may occur due to drug exposure. Here, we present our initial proteomic study of variation in β-lactamase expression that occurs in CRAb with different β-lactam antibiotics. Briefly, drug resistance to Ab (ATCC 19606) was induced by the administration of various classes of β-lactam antibiotics, and the cell-free supernatant was isolated, concentrated, separated by SDS-PAGE, digested with trypsin, and identified by label-free LC-MS-based quantitative proteomics. Thirteen proteins were identified and evaluated using a 1789 sequence database of Ab β-lactamases from UniProt, the majority of which were Class C β-lactamases (≥80%). Importantly, different antibiotics, even those of the same class (e.g. penicillin and amoxicillin), induced non-equivalent responses comprising various isoforms of Class C and D serine-β-lactamases, resulting in unique resistomes. These results open the door to a new approach of analyzing and studying the problem of multi-drug resistance in bacteria that rely strongly on β-lactamase expression.

Project description:We performed RNA-seq experiments to compare the gene expression profiles of cells expressing TEM-1 beta-lactamase with single-codon substitutions in the absence of beta-lactam antibiotics. Mutations with deleterious fitness effects in the absense of antibiotics also caused significant changes in gene expression, primarily in the induction of specific outer envelope stress response pathways and, in some cases, the mild-induction of a few genes in the heat-shock response pathway.

Project description:While ESBL and AmpC beta-lactamases barely degrade carbapenems, they are able to bind them and prevent them from interacting with penicillin binding proteins thereby preventing their effect. When these beta-lactamases are expressed at a high level and combined with a decreased influx of carbapenems due to a decrease in membrane permeability, Enterobacterales can become resistant to carbapenems. In this study we developed a LC-MS/MS assay for the detection of the E. coli porins OmpC and OmpF, it’s chromosomal AmpC beta-lactamase and the plasmid-mediated CMY-2 beta-lactamase. Subsequently, we cultured CMY-2 positive E. coli isolates in the presence of meropenem and analyzed mutants that showed increased resistance to meropenem using our developed assay and western blot. In all five selected strains, a decrease in OmpC and/or OmpF was the first event towards an increase in meropenem minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs). Subsequently, in four of the five isolate series, MICs increased further after an increase in CMY-2-like production.
