Project description:Incomplete antibiotic removal in pharmaceutical wastewater treatment plants (PWWTPs) could lead to the development and spread of antibiotic-resistant bacteria (ARBs) and genes (ARGs) in the environment, posing a growing public health threat. In this study, two multiantibiotic-resistant bacteria, Ochrobactrum intermedium (N1) and Stenotrophomonas acidaminiphila (N2), were isolated from the sludge of a PWWTP in Guangzhou, China. The N1 strain was highly resistant to ampicillin, cefazolin, chloramphenicol, tetracycline, and norfloxacin, while the N2 strain exhibited high resistance to ampicillin, chloramphenicol, and cefazolin. Whole-genome sequencing revealed that N1 and N2 had genome sizes of 0.52 Mb and 0.37 Mb, respectively, and harbored 33 and 24 ARGs, respectively. The main resistance mechanism in the identified ARGs included efflux pumps, enzymatic degradation, and target bypass, with the N1 strain possessing more multidrug-resistant efflux pumps than the N2 strain (22 vs 12). This also accounts for the broader resistance spectrum of N1 than of N2 in antimicrobial susceptibility tests. Additionally, both genomes contain numerous mobile genetic elements (89 and 21 genes, respectively) and virulence factors (276 and 250 factors, respectively), suggesting their potential for horizontal transfer and pathogenicity. Overall, this research provides insights into the potential risks posed by ARBs in pharmaceutical wastewater and emphasizes the need for further studies on their impact and mitigation strategies.

Project description:With the global increase in the use of carbapenems, several gram-negative bacteria have acquired carbapenem resistance, thereby limiting treatment options. Klebsiella pneumoniae is one of such notorious pathogen that is being widely studied to find novel resistance mechanisms and drug targets. These antibiotic-resistant clinical isolates generally harbor many genetic alterations, and identification of causal mutations will provide insights into the molecular mechanisms of antibiotic resistance. We propose a method to prioritize mutated genes responsible for antibiotic resistance, in which mutated genes that also show significant expression changes among their functionally coupled genes become more likely candidates. For network-based analyses, we developed a genome-scale co-functional network of K. pneumoniae genes, KlebNet (www.inetbio.org/klebnet). Using KlebNet, we could reconstruct functional modules for antibiotic-resistance, and virulence, and retrieved functional association between them. With complementation assays with top candidate genes, we could validate a gene for negative regulation of meropenem resistance and four genes for positive regulation of virulence in Galleria mellonella larvae. Therefore, our study demonstrated the feasibility of network-based identification of genes required for antimicrobial resistance and virulence of human pathogenic bacteria with genomic and transcriptomic profiles from antibiotic-resistant clinical isolates.

Project description:Bacteria often evolve antibiotic resistance through mutagenesis. However, the processes causing the mutagenesis have not been fully resolved. Here we found that a broad range of ribosome-targeting antibiotics caused mutations through an underexplored pathway. Focusing on the clinically important aminoglycoside gentamicin, we found that the translation inhibitor caused genome-wide premature stalling of RNA polymerase (RNAP) in a loci-dependent manner. Further analysis showed that the stalling was caused by disruption of transcription-translation coupling. Anti-intuitively, the stalled RNAPs subsequently induced lesions to the DNA via transcription-coupled repair. While most of the bacteria were killed by genotoxicity, a small subpopulation acquired mutations via SOS-induced mutagenesis. Given that these processes were triggered shortly after antibiotic addition, resistance rapidly emerged in the population. Our work revealed a new mechanism of action of ribosomal antibiotics, illustrates the importance of dissecting the complex interplay between multiple molecular processes in understanding antibiotic efficacy, and suggests new strategies for countering the development of resistance.

Project description:The spread of antibiotic resistance has developed to all known antibiotics. Extended spectrum β-lactamase-producing bacteria are particularly problematic, as they are resistant to a wide range of commonly used antibiotics. Resistance to β-lactams is known to be multifactorial, although the underlying mechanisms generally are poorly understood but critical factors for effective therapy against infections, especially for multi-resistant pathogenic bacteria. In the present study, a plasmid-based homologous recombination system was used to target and delete specific β-lactamase genes (i.e., the blaOXA-1, blaTEM-1 or the ESBL blaCTX-M15) of the clinical strain ESBL Escherichia coli CCUG 73778, generating three “knock-out” clone variants, each one lacking only one of the β-lactamases. The objective was to determine the genotypic impacts of each gene loss on the phenotypic antibiotic resistance and proteome of the bacterium. Quantitative proteomic analyses performed on the three clone variants and the original strain, using tandem mass tags (TMT) and bottom-up liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS), after exposure to different concentrations of cefadroxil. Variation of the proteome in each clone variant was determined, to establish the relative importance of each resistance gene and better understand the genetic and proteomic responses and mechanisms of the resistance phenotypes. The knockout of blaCTX-M-15 was observed to have the greatest impact in protein expression, with the knockout of blaOXA-1 also effecting a marked but lower degree of changes. Proteins known to be associated with antibiotic resistance, cell membrane integrity, cellular stress, gene expression and hypothetical/unknown function proteins, among others, demonstrated distinct differences in expression levels (Fold change >1-5 or <-1.5), that may be related to aspects of compensation for the mutant resistance phenotypes. The present study provides a framework to study the impacts of targeted loss of antibiotic resistance genes in clinically relevant strains for understanding the mechanisms of phenotypic antibiotic resistance.
