Project description:Marine pathogenic bacteria are able to form biofilms on many surfaces, such as mollusc shells, and they can wait for the appropriate opportunity to induce their virulence. Vibrio tapetis can develop such biofilms on the inner surface of shells of the Ruditapes philippinarum clam, leading to the formation of a brown conchiolin deposit in the form of a ring, hence the name of the disease: Brown Ring Disease. The virulence of V. tapetis is presumed to be related to its capacity to form biofilms, but the link has never been clearly established at the physiological or genetic level. In the present study, we used RNA-seq analysis to identify biofilm- and virulence-related genes displaying altered expression in biofilms compared to the planktonic condition. A flow cell system was employed to grow biofilms to obtain both structural and transcriptomic views of the biofilms. We found that 3615 genes were differentially expressed, confirming that biofilm and planktonic lifestyles are very different. As expected, the differentially expressed genes included those involved in biofilm formation, such as motility- and polysaccharide synthesis-related genes. The data show that quorum sensing is probably mediated by the AI-2/LuxO system in V. tapetis biofilms. The expression of genes encoding the Type VI Secretion System and associated exported proteins are strongly induced, suggesting that V. tapetis activates this virulence factor when living in biofilm.

Project description:Beneficial microbial symbionts are often horizontally acquired by their animal hosts from environmental sources, requiring the symbionts to complete a lifestyle transition from free-living in the environment to association with host tissues. In the model symbiosis between the Hawaiian bobtail squid and its microbial symbiont Vibrio fischeri, one mechanism used to make this transition during host colonization is the formation of biofilm-like aggregates on host mucosa. Extensive work has previously been conducted to isolate the critical factors controlling V. fischeri biofilm formation, yet much remains unknown regarding the full breadth of the biofilm-associated regulon. Here, we probed in vitro models of biofilm formation using transcriptomics, to identify novel regulatory pathways active within biofilms of the V. fischeri type strain ES114. Through comparing the gene-sets which became differentially regulated in multiple biofilm models, we discovered a shared set of 232 genes which demonstrated similar patterns in expression relative to uninduced controls. These genes contained representatives of multiple exopolysaccharide loci, genes involved in flagellar motility, and a diverse collection of other genes. Follow-up analysis suggested that these transcriptomic changes reflected true phenotypic effects, including changes in motility and cyclic-di-GMP production in biofilm-induced backgrounds. Beyond characterizing the shared biofilm response, we additionally profiled the regulatory activity of the sensor kinase RscS. This sensor kinase has previously been characterized to function as a phospho-donor within an established biofilm-inducing phospho-relay, yet our data suggests that RscS moonlights in at least one other phospho-relay that integrates downstream signaling from a homolog of the Vibrio cholerae response regulator VpsR, without a need for its established signaling partners. Overall, this study adds to our understanding of the genes involved in V. fischeri biofilm regulation, while revealing new regulatory pathways branching from previously characterized signaling networks.

Project description:Members of the genus Vibrio include many pathogens of humans and marine animals that share genetic information via horizontal gene transfer. Hence, the Vibrio pan-genome carries the potential to establish new pathogenic strains by sharing virulence determinants, many of which have yet to be characterized. Here, we investigated the virulence properties of Vibrio proteolyticus, a Gram-negative marine bacterium previously identified as part of the Vibrio consortium isolated from diseased corals. We found that V. proteolyticus causes actin cytoskeleton rearrangements followed by cell lysis in HeLa cells in a contact independent manner. In search of the responsible virulence factor involved, we determined the V. proteolyticus secretome. This proteomics approach revealed various putative virulence factors, including active type VI secretion systems and effectors with virulence toxin domains; however, these type VI secretion systems were not responsible for the observed cytotoxic effects. Further examination of the V. proteolyticus secretome led us to hypothesize and subsequently demonstrate that a secreted hemolysin, belonging to a previously uncharacterized clan of the leukocidin superfamily, was the toxin responsible for the V. proteolyticus-mediated cytotoxicity in both HeLa cells and macrophages. Clearly, there remains an armory of yet-to-be discovered virulence factors in the Vibrio pan-genome that will undoubtedly provide a wealth of knowledge on how a pathogen can manipulate host cells.

Project description:Here, we define the VanT-QS regulon and explore the diversity and trajectory of traits under QS regulation in the fish pathogen Vibrio anguillarum through comparative transcriptomics of two wildtype strains and their corresponding mutants artificially locked in QS-on (ΔvanO) or QS-off (ΔvanT) states. We reveal that populations of one strain primarily employ a QS-off response, while the other strain mainly maneuvers within the QS-on spectrum. Further examination of our V. anguillarum collection revealed that ~15 % of the strains were QS-negative and measurements of a total of 9 QS-positive strains suggested diverse QS responses, which underlines an extensive diversity of QS delegations. We show that QS control a plethora of genes involved in processes such as central metabolism, biofilm, competence, T6SS and virulence in V. anguillarum. Interestingly, the low QS response strain had an enlarged QS regulon compared to the high QS response strain, suggesting a potential trade-off between engagement in QS and output of the commitment. Moreover, the combination of present and previous virulence trials coupled with QS response measurements indicate that the QS state is an important driver of virulence toward fish larvae in V. anguillarum. We propose that infections by mixed-strain communities spanning diverse QS strategies might utilize the animal host more efficiently. Furthermore, we emphasize the importance of applying whole-cell spike-in normalization to study gene expression of cell populations with differential total RNA content per cell.

Project description:Biofilm-associated infection by the leading nosocomial pathogen Staphylococcus epidermidis is a major problem for the public health system. Here we used an especially discriminatory, two-step screen to discover key biofilm factors. We identified the transcriptional regulator and SarA paralog SarZ as a novel important determinant of biofilm formation and biofilm-associated infection by S. epidermidis. Notably, a sarZ mutant strain exhibited significantly reduced survival in two different models of biofilm-associated infection. Further, in addition to its significant influence on the transcription of the biosynthetic operon for S. epidermidis biofilm exopolysaccharide, sarZ impacted the expression of a series of virulence factors, including lipases and proteases. As a likely consequence of the regulated proteolytic activity, we observed increased resistance to an important human antimicrobial peptide, indicating a role for sarZ in the regulation of immune evasion. Interestingly, sarZ deficiency led to a hemolytic phenotype, a feature not commonly observed in S. epidermidis. Thus, our study indicates a key role for the SarZ regulator in maintaining the typical S. epidermidis phenotype, which is characterized by pronounced biofilm formation, immune evasion, and suppressed acute virulence, a likely reason for the success of S. epidermidis as a colonizer and pathogen in chronic, biofilm-associated infection.

Project description:Honey has been widely used against bacterial infection for centuries. Previous studies suggested that honeys in high concentrations inhibited bacterial growth due to the presence of anti-microbial compounds, such as methylglyoxal, hydrogen peroxide, and peptides. In this study, we found that three honeys (acacia, clover, and polyfloral) in a low concentration as below as 0.5% (v/v) significantly suppress virulence and biofilm formation in enterohemorrhagic E. coli O157:H7 affecting the growth of planktonic cells while these honeys do not harm commensal E. coli K-12 biofilm formation. Transcriptome analyses show that honeys (0.5%) markedly repress quorum sensing genes (e.g., AI-2 import and indole biosynthesis), virulence genes (e.g., LEE genes), and curli genes (csgBAC). We found that glucose and fructose in honeys are key compounds to reduce the biofilm formation of E. coli O157:H7 via suppressing curli production, but not that of E. coli K-12. Additionally, we observed the temperature-dependent response of honeys and glucose on commensal E. coli K-12 biofilm formation; honey and glucose increase E. coli K-12 biofilm formation at 37°C, while they decrease E. coli K-12 biofilm formation at 26°C. These results suggest that honey can be a practical tool for reducing virulence and colonization of the pathogenic E. coli O157:H7, while honeys do not harm commensal E. coli community in the human.
