Project description:Antibiotic resistance is exacerbated by the exchange of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) between microbes from diverse habitats. Plasmids are important ARGs mobile elements and are spread by horizontal gene transfer (HGT). In this study, we demonstrated the presence of multi-resistant plasmids from inhalable particulate matter (PM) and its effect on gene horizontal transfer. Three transferable multi-resistant plasmids were identified from PM in a hospital, using conjugative mating assays and nanopore sequencing. pTAir-3 contained 26 horizontal transfer elements and 10 ARGs. Importantly pTAir-5 harbored carbapenem resistance gene (blaOXA) which shows homology to plasmids from human and pig commensal bacteria, thus indicating that PM is a media for antibiotic resistant plasmid spread. In addition, 125 μg/mL PM2.5 and PM10 significantly increased the conjugative transfer rate by 110% and 30%, respectively, and augmented reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels. Underlying mechanisms were revealed by identifying the upregulated expressional levels of genes related to ROS, SOS, cell membranes, pilus generation, and transposition via genome-wide RNA sequencing. The study highlights the airborne spread of multi-resistant plasmids and the impact of inhalable PM on the horizontal transfer of antibiotic resistance.

Project description:Rhizobia are gram-negative bacteria able to establish a symbiotic interaction with leguminous plants. Due to their nitrogen fixing capacity, the study of these microorganisms has acquired great relevance for the agriculture. Rhizobia usually harbor many plasmids in their genome which can be transferred to other organisms by conjugation. Two main mechanisms of regulation of rhizobial plasmid transfer have been described: Quorum sensing (QS) and rctA/rctB system. Nevertheless, new genes and molecules that modulate conjugative transfer have been recently described, demonstrating that new actors can tightly regulate the process. In this work, by means of bioinformatics tools and molecular biology approaches, two hypothetical genes are identified as playing key roles in conjugative transfer. These genes are located between conjugative genes of plasmid pLPU83a from Rhizobium favelukesii LPU83, a plasmid that showed a conjugative transfer behavior depending on the genomic background. One of the two mentioned genes, rcgA, is essential for conjugation, while the other, rcgR, acts as an inhibitor of the process. In addition to introducing this new regulatory mechanism, we show evidence of the functions of these genes in different genomic backgrounds, and confirmed that homologous proteins from non-closely related organisms play the same function. These findings set up a cornerstone for a new molecular circuit of conjugative transfer of plasmids.

Project description:Integrative and conjugative elements (ICEs), a.k.a., conjugative transposons, are mobile genetic elements involved in many biological processes, including the spread of antibiotic resistance. Unlike conjugative plasmids that are extra-chromosomal and replicate autonomously, ICEs are integrated in the chromosome and replicate passively during chromosomal replication. It is generally thought that ICEs do not replicate autonomously. We found that when induced, Bacillus subtilis ICEBs1 replicates as a plasmid. The ICEBs1 origin of transfer (oriT) served as the origin of replication and the conjugal DNA relaxase served as the replication initiation protein. Autonomous replication of ICEBs1 conferred genetic stability to the excised element, but was not required for mating. The B. subtilis helicase PcrA that mediates unwinding and replication of Gram-positive rolling circle replicating plasmids was required for ICEBs1 replication and mating. Nicking of oriT by the relaxase and unwinding by PcrA likely directs transfer of a single-strand of ICEBs1 into recipient cells. This SuperSeries is composed of the SubSeries listed below.

Project description:For most chemicals, environmental toxicity is only investigated for a single generation. In this study we investigate the effect of the fungicide prochloraz across generations in Daphnia magna. The study design included two exposure scenarios; one where all three generations were continuously exposed to prochloraz (100 ug/L) and one where only the first generation (F0) was exposed. We studied effects at different levels of biological organization combining key phenotypic effects, such as growth and reproduction, CYP enzyme activity, metabolomics and for generation F2 also transcriptomics

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:This study researched the combined effects of hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) concentration and antibiotics on the ARGs of Bacillus cereus SH-1. As the Cr(VI) concentration increased, it triggered Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) oxidative stress in SH-1, increased antioxidant enzyme activity, enhanced plasmid conjugative transfer and reduced the removal efficiency of Cr(VI) by SH-1. Meanwhile, antibiotic resistance varied with TET (Tetracycline) and AMC (Amoxicillin) MICs (minimum inhibitory concentration) rising and AZM (Azithromycin) and CL (Chloramphenicol) MICs decreasing with Cr(VI) induction. Overexpression of eight genes of the HAE-1 family efflux pumps was detected through metagenomics and proteomics. Co-contamination of Cr(VI) and antibiotics led to the emergence and spread of antibiotics resistant bacteria (ARBs).

Project description:Commercial probiotic bacteria must be tested for acquired antibiotic resistance elements to avoid potential transfer to pathogens. The European Food Safety Authority recommends testing resistance using microdilution culture techniques previously used to establish inhibitory thresholds for the Bifidobacterium genus. Many Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis strains exhibit increased resistance to tetracycline, historically attributed to the ribosomal protection gene tet(W). However, some strains that harbor genetically identical tet(W) genes show various inhibition levels suggesting that other genetic elements also contribute to observed differences. Here, we adapted several molecular assays to confirm the inhibition of B. animalis subsp. lactis strains Bl-04 and HN019, and employed RNA-seq to assess the transcriptional differences related to genomic polymorphisms. We detected specific stress responses to the antibiotic by correlating ATP concentration to viable genome copies from droplet digital PCR, and found that the bacteria were still metabolically active in high drug concentrations. Transcriptional analyses revealed that several polymorphic regions, particularly a novel multi-drug efflux transporter, were differentially expressed between the strains in each experimental condition, likely having phenotypic effects. We also found that the tet(W) gene was up-regulated only during sub-inhibitory tetracycline concentrations, while two novel tetracycline resistance genes were up-regulated at high concentrations. Furthermore, many genes involved in amino acid metabolism and transporter function were up-regulated while genes for complex carbohydrate utilization, protein metabolism, and CRISPR-Cas systems were down-regulated. These results provide high-throughput means for assessing antibiotic resistance and determine the genetic network that contributes to the global tetracycline response between two highly related probiotic strains.
