Project description:Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa are the most prevalent pathogens that colonize structurally abnormal airways such as those in Cystic Fibrosis (CF) and other chronic obstructive lung diseases. Although these bacteria seem to succeed one another, CF patients acquire coinciding P. aeruginosa and S. aureus pulmonary infections, being co-infection usually associated with decreased lung function and increased frequency of pulmonary exacerbations. In addition, P. aeruginosa and S. aureus pathogens adopt a biofilm mode of growth, which contributes to high tolerance to antibiotic treatment and the recalcitrant nature of these chronic coinfections, leading to significant patient morbidity and mortality. Interactions between P. aeruginosa and S. aureus have been widely studied and it is commonly admitted that P. aeruginosa outcompetes S. aureus, perhaps outcompeting S. aureus for limited nutrients or producing anti-staphylococcal compounds, having S. aureus a minimal contribution to the overall course of the infection. However, the molecular mechanisms behind these interactions are largely unknown. Herein, we decided to characterize the full transcriptome of these dual-species biofilms, to unveil important molecular interactions that can occur between these two bacterial species that are relevant for the pathogenesis of the entire consortia. Our data provide novel insights into the role of interspecies interactions in the pathogenesis of P. aeruginosa and S. aureus co-infections and will contribute to future studies by the research community.

Project description:The transcription factor Anr regulates the response to low oxygen in P. aeruginosa and is inhibited by oxygen. We used microarrys to compare gene expression in P. aeruginosa PAO1 wild-type with an isogenic anr mutant in order to determine which transcripts are affected by Anr. We grew P. aeruginosa cells as biofilms on CFBE cells in order to model cystic fibrosis airways infections.

Project description:We examined the differential gene expression of Staphylococcus epidermidis and Staphylococcus epidermidis in dual species biofilms. Therefore, we performed RNA-Seq on single and dual species biofilms and we compared the gene expression levels in dual species biofilms to those in single species biofilms.

Project description:The goals of this dual-seq experiment were to 1) identify transcriptional changes between mono-species and dual-species biofilms of Candida albicans and Pseudomonas aeruginosa and 2) identify transcriptional changes within mono- or dual-species P. aeruginosa biofilm cells in response to meropenem treatment.

Project description:Chronic airway infection with P. aeruginosa (PA) is a hallmark of cystic fibrosis (CF) disease. The mechanisms producing PA persistence in CF therapies remain poorly understood. To gain insight on PA physiology in patient airways and better understand how in vivo bacterial functioning differs from in vitro conditions, we investigated the in vivo proteomes of PA in 35 sputum samples from 11 CF patients. We developed a novel bacterial-enrichment method enabling improved identification of PA proteome with CF sputum samples. The in vivo PA proteomes were compared with the proteomes of ex vivo-grown PA populations from the same patient sample. We detected 1528 PA proteins (encoded by 1458 core genes and 70 accessory genes) that were expressed in CF airways, of which 1178 proteins were commonly identified with the ex vivo-grown PA populations. Label-free quantitation and proteome comparison revealed the in vivo up-regulation of siderophore TonB-dependent receptors, remodeling in central carbon metabolism including glyoxylate cycle and lactate utilization, and alginate overproduction. Knowledge of these in vivo proteome differences or others derived using the presented methodology could lead to future treatment strategies aimed at altering PA physiology in vivo to compromise infectivity or improve antibiotic efficacy.

Project description:Polymicrobial biofilms are of large medical importance, but little is known about their physiology and the underlying interspecies interactions. Here we studied two human pathogens, the opportunistic fungus Candida albicans and the caries promoting bacterium Streptococcus mutans. Both species formed biofilms in monoculture, with C. albicans growing mainly in the virulence-associated hyphae form, and S. mutans forming a thick layer of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS). Biofilm growth was enhanced in dual-species biofilms, which reached twice the biomass of monospecies biofilms and higher cell numbers of both S. mutans and C. albicans. EPS production by S. mutans was strongly suppressed in dual-species biofilms. Virulence traits of S. mutans, e.g. genetic competence, biofilm formation and bacteriocin synthesis are controlled by quorum sensing through activation of the alternative sigma factor SigX. SigX is induced by the pheromones CSP (competence stimulating factor) or XIP (sigX inducing peptide). Strong induction of sigX was observed in dual species biofilms indicated by fluorescence of a reporter strain for the sigX promoter, S. mutans PcomX-gfp, as well as by qRT-PCR of comX. The peak of sigX expression occurred after 10 h of biofilm growth. Conditioned media from mixed biofilms but not from C. albicans or S. mutans cultivated alone activated sigX in the reporter strain. Deletion mutants for the comC and comS genes encoding the precursors of CSP and XIP, respectively, were constructed. Conditioned media from mixed biofilms with S. mutans DcomS were unable to induce sigX in the reporter strain, while deletion of comC had no effect. These data show that synthesis of XIP was induced in S. mutans by coculture with C. albicans. Transcriptome analysis of S. mutans in single and mixed biofilms confirmed strong induction of comS, sigX, and the downstream late competence genes in dual-species biofilms. Among the late competence genes, fratricins were discovered for the first time. The comCDE operon and bacteriocin related genes were also induced, but much weaker. Genes related to oxidative stress, chaperones and glycosyltransferase genes required for EPS synthesis from sucrose were down-regulated, while glycogen synthesis genes were up-regulated, indicating that S. mutans was protected from oxidative stress and provided with excess sugar for storage polymer synthesis in mixed biofilms. The data show that in dual-species biofilms, C. albicans improves growth of S. mutans, suppresses its EPS formation and induces the complete quorum sensing signalling system, thus fundamentally changing the virulence properties of the caries pathogen, including its potential interactions with other members of the polymicrobial dental plaque community. Dual-species biofilms of S. mutans and C. albicans and single-species biofilms of S. mutans were cultivated in 24-well microtitre plates in YNBB medium. Transcriptional profiles of S. mutans in single- and dual-species biofilms were analysed at early (6 h) and late (10 h) logarithmic phase of the biofilm growth, as well as after 24 h when biofilms entered stationary phase. Transcriptional profiles of S. mutans grown in the dual-species biofilms were compared to profiles obtained for single-species biofilm from the same time point. Three biological and one to two technical replicas were used in the microarray study. RNA samples were labeled with Cy3 or Cy5 using the ULS fluorescent labeling kit (Kreatech, Germany). Seven hundred nanograms of Cy3 or Cy5 labeled RNA after fragmentation were hybridized to the microarray at 65M-BM-0C for 17 h using the Agilent hybridization chamber according to the manufacturer's instructions. The arrays were scanned using the Agilent DNA microarray scanner and the raw data were extracted using Agilent Feature Extraction software (v. 10.7).

Project description:We performed comparative analysis of transcriptomes of S. mutans in single biofilms and in mixed-biofilms with A. actinomycetemcomitans. We also compared the transcriptomic profiles of A. actinomycetemcomitans in single biofilms and A. actinomycetemcomitans in mixed biofilms with S. mutans. Finally we looked at the changes in gene expression in both organisms in time.
