Project description:Multidrug resistance pathogen that causes nosocomial infections

Project description:Acinetobacter baumannii is an emerging nosocomial pathogen that causes severe infections such as pneumonia or blood stream infections. As the incidence of multidrug-resistant A. baumannii infections in intensive care units increases, the pathogen is considered of greater clinical concern. Little is known about the molecular interaction of A. baumannii with its host yet. In order to study the host cell response upon A. baumannii infection, a complexome analysis was performed. For this, we identified a virulent ( A. baumannii 2778) and a non virulent (A. baumannii 1372) clinical isolate of genetic similarity > 95 % (both isolates from IC 2 harboring OXA 23). HUVECs were infected with each strain and enriched mitochondrial fraction was used for complexome profiling. Complexome analysis identified dramatic reduction of mitochondrial protein complexes in the strain of greater virulence.

Project description:This study aims to determine the epidemiology of Enterobacteriaceae resistant to antibiotics of last resort in pregnant women in labour at a tertiary hospital, Pretoria, South Africa. Rectal swabs shall be used to screen for colonisation with CRE and colistin-resistant Enterobacteriales in pregnant women during labour. Carbapenem and colistin-resistant Enterobacterales can cause the following infections: bacteraemia; nosocomial pneumonia; urinary tract infections, and intra-abdominal infections. Due to limited treatment options, infections caused by these multidrug-resistant organisms are associated with a mortality rate of 40-50%. Screening for colonisation of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) and colistin-resistant Enterobacteriaceae will help implement infection and prevention measures to limit the spread of these multidrug-resistant organisms.

Project description:Invasive fungal infections are important healthcare associated disease worldwide especially in intensive care units More recently, Candida auris a multidrug and potentially pan-resistant species has globally emerged as a new nosocomial pathogen, which has been already reported from at least 50 countries on six continents. Clinical studies showed that previously well-defined phylogenetic C. auris clades display significant differences regarding their pathogenicity, virulence, metabolism and susceptibility profile to traditional antifungal therapies. Based on epidemiological data, isolates belonging to the South Asian clade show the highest ratio of resistance to fluconazole (97%), amphotericin B (47%) and this clade involves the highest number of multidrug resistant isolates (45%), which compromise the efficacy of applied antifungal therapy. In the past decade, a new broad-spectrum antifungal drug, isavuconazole (ISA), has been introduced into clinical practice. ISA is primarily approved for the treatment of invasive aspergillosis and mucormycosis, and currently, there are no available recommendations for the therapy of invasive Candida infections. In our previous study, we reported different ISA susceptibility profiles between isolates belonging to South Asian lineage. However, the global transcriptional - even isolate specific - response remained unresolved. Therefore, our study aimed to reveal those molecular events, which are associated with ISA exposure using high throughput RNA sequencing (RNAseq).

Project description:The nosocomial pathogen Acinetobacter baumannii is a frequent cause of hospital acquired infections worldwide, and a challenge for treatment due to its evolved resistance to antibiotics, including carbapenems. To gain insight on A. baumannii antibiotic resistance mechanisms, we analyzed the protein interaction network of a multidrug-resistant A. baumannii clinical strain Ab5075. Using in vivo chemical cross-linking and mass spectrometry, we identified 2,068 non-redundant cross-linked peptide pairs containing 245 intra- and 398 inter- molecular interactions. Outer membrane proteins OmpA and YiaD, and carbapenemase Oxa-23 are hubs of the identified interaction network. Eighteen novel interactors of Oxa-23 were identified. Interactions of Oxa-23 with outer membrane porins OmpA and CarO were verified with co-immunoprecipitation analysis. Furthermore, transposon mutagenesis of oxa-23 or interactors of Oxa-23 demonstrated changes in meropenem or imipenem sensitivity in Ab5075. These results provide the first view of a porin-localized toxin inactivation model and increase understanding of bacterial antibiotic resistance mechanisms.

Project description:Stenotrophomonas maltophilia is an emerging opportunistic multidrug-resistant pathogen frequently co-isolated with other relevant nosocomial pathogens in respiratory tract infections. S. maltophilia uses the endogenous DSF quorum sensing (QS) system to regulate virulence processes but can also respond to exogenous AHL signals produced by neighboring bacteria. A whole-transcriptome sequencing analysis was performed for S. maltophilia strain K279a in the exponential and stationary phases and in exponential cultures after a treatment with exogenous DSF or AHLs. Among the common top upregulated genes, the putative TetR-like regulator Smlt2053 was selected for functional characterization. This regulator was found to sense long-chain fatty acids, including the QS signal DSF, and activate a β-oxidation catabolic pathway.

Project description:Using Nanopore sequencing, our study has revealed a close correlation between genomic methylation levels and antibiotic resistance rates in Acinetobacter Baumannii. Specifically, the combined genome-wide DNA methylome and transcriptome analysis revealed the first epigenetic-based antibiotic-resistance mechanism in A. baumannii. Our findings suggest that the precise location of methylation sites along the chromosome could provide new diagnostic markers and drug targets to improve the management of multidrug-resistant A. baumannii infections.

Project description:Traditional vaccines are difficult to deploy against the diverse antibiotic-resistant, nosocomial pathogens that cause Hospital Acquired Infections (HAIs). We developed a unique, protein-free vaccine to present antibiotic-resistant HAIs. This vaccine protected mice from invasive infections caused by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecalis, multidrug resistant Acinetobacter baumannii, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Rhizopus delemar, and Candida albicans. Protection persisted even in neutropenic mice infected with A. baumannii or R. delemar. Protection was already apparent after 24 hours and lasted for up to 21 days after a single dose, with a second dose restoring efficacy. Protection persisted without lymphocytes but was abrogated with macrophages depletion. This vaccine induced trained immunity by altering the macrophage epigenetic landscape and the inflammatory response to infection.

Project description:Klebsiella pneumoniae is a bacterial pathogen that causes nosocomial infection in humans and is acquiring antibiotic resistance at an alarming rate. This study investigates the effect of zinc limitation on the phosphoproteome of K. pneumoniae using quantitative mass spectrometry to provide insight into the cell signaling methods used to respond to nutrient limited conditions like those experienced when colonizing a host.
