Project description:Although drinking water disinfection has proved to be an effective strategy to eliminate most waterborne pathogens, bacterial pathogens can still show disinfection tolerance in drinking water distribution systems (DWDSs), posing a great threat to drinking water safety and human health. Despite stress signals such as starvation and low temperature were reported to increase disinfection tolerance of E. coli, it is unclear whether the stress-induced disinfection tolerance was conserved in different bacterial species.

Project description:Candida auris is an enigmatic fungal pathogen, recently elevated to the Critical Priority group of fungal pathogens by the World Health Organisation. Of key concern is its ability to cause outbreaks within intensive and chronic care units, which is facilitated through biofilm formation. We investigated the susceptibility of phenotypically-diverse C. auris isolates to sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) disinfection, and the subsequent role of biofilms in surviving disinfection using a dry-surface biofilm (DSB) model and transcriptomic profiling. Planktonic cells were tested for susceptibility to NaOCl using minimum inhibitory concentration and disinfection protocols. Biofilm formation using the DSB model consisted of consecutive 48 hr cycles with/without media across a 12-day period, assessed using viable counts, biomass assays, and microscopy. Disinfection efficacy was assessed using clinically relevant protocols of 500-1000 ppm for 1-5 min. RNA-sequencing was performed on untreated DSBs in comparison to planktonic cells. Isolates were found to be sensitive to NaOCl planktonically at concentrations ≤62.5 ppm, and grew robust biofilms using the DSB protocol. Biofilms developed tolerance to all NaOCl treatment parameters, with 2-4 log10-reductions in viable cells observed at highest concentrations. Transcriptomics identified ABC transporters and iron acquisition pathways as strongly upregulated in DSBs relative to planktonic cells. We have optimised a DSB protocol in which C. auris biofilms can mediate tolerance to adverse conditions such as NaOCl disinfection, suggesting a lifestyle through which this problematic yeast can environmentally persist and transmit. Mechanistically, the upregulation of small-molecule and iron transport pathways have been identified as potential facilitators of survival.

Project description:Biofilm formation is an important mechanism of survival and persistence for many bacterial pathogens. These multicellular communities contain subpopulations of cells that display vast metabolic and transcriptional diversity along with high recalcitrance to antibiotics and host immune defenses. Investigating the complex heterogeneity within biofilm has been hindered by the lack of a sensitive and high-throughput method to assess stochastic transcriptional activity and regulation between bacterial subpopulations, which requires single-cell resolution. We have developed an optimized bacterial single-cell RNA sequencing method, BaSSSh-seq, to study Staphylococcus aureus diversity during biofilm growth and transcriptional adaptations following immune cell exposure.

Project description:Full title: Environmental transcriptome analysis of LfeRT32a in its natural microbial community comparing the biofilm and planktonic modes of life. Extreme acidic environments are characterized among other features by the high metal content and the lack of nutrients (oligotrophy). Macroscopic biofilms and filaments usually grow on the water-air interface or under the stream attached to solid substrates (streamers). In the Tinto River (Spain), brown filaments develop under the water stream where the Gram-negative iron-oxidizing bacteria Leptospirillum ferrooxidans and Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans are abundant. Both microorganisms play a critical role in bioleaching processes for industrial (biominery) and environmental applications (acid mine drainage, bioremediation). The aim of this study was to investigate the physiological differences between the free living (planktonic) and the sessile (biofilm associated) lifestyles of L. ferrooxidans as part of a natural extremely acidophilic community.

Project description:Multispecies biofilms are the predominant form of bacterial growth in natural and human-associated environments. Although the pathways involved in monospecies biofilm have been well characterized, less is known about the metabolic pathways and emergent traits of a multispecies biofilm community. Here, we performed a transcriptome survey of the developmental stages of a 3-species biofilm community and combined it with quantitative imaging and growth experiments. We report the remodelling of central metabolism of two of the three species in this community. Specifically, we observed an increase in the expression of genes associated with glycolysis and pentose phosphate pathways in K. pneumoniae. Similarly, a decrease in the expression of the same pathways in P. protegens was observed along with an increase in expression of glyoxalate cycle genes when grown as a mixed species biofilm, suggesting reorganisation of metabolic pathways and metabolite sharing for the community biofilms. To test the possibility of cross-feeding for the community, planktonic growth experiments revealed that both the Pseudomonads grew well in TCA cycle intermediates, while K. pneumoniae grew poorly when given those carbon sources. Despite this poor growth in mono-culture, K. pneumoniae was still the dominant species in mixed species biofilms cultivated in TCA intermediates as the sole source of carbon. The biofilm growth data, combined with the transcriptomics data, suggests there is reorganisation of metabolism for the community members and may allow for cross-feeding that allows K. pneumoniae to dominate the community. We also demonstrated that sdsA1 of P. aeruginosa was induced upon exposure to the surfactant SDS and that this gene was essential in protecting mono and mixed species biofilms from surfactant stress. This also suggests that the community members can share defence mechanisms. Overall, this study describes a comprehensive transcriptomics level investigation of shared resources, metabolites and stress defence that may underpin the emergent properties of mixed species biofilm communities.
