Project description:The antibiotic fosfomycin is widely recognized for treatment of lower urinary tract infections caused by Escherichia coli and lately gained importance as a therapeutic option to combat multidrug resistant bacteria. Still, resistance to fosfomycin frequently develops through mutations reducing its uptake. Whereas the inner membrane transport of fosfomycin has been extensively studied in E. coli, its outer membrane (OM) transport remains insufficiently understood. While evaluating minimal inhibitory concentrations in OM porin-deficient mutants, we observed that the E. coli ΔompCΔompF strain is five times more resistant to fosfomycin than the wild type and the respective single mutants. Continuous monitoring of cell lysis of porin-deficient strains in response to fosfomycin additionally indicated the relevance of LamB. Furthermore, the physiological relevance of OmpF, OmpC and LamB for fosfomycin uptake was confirmed by electrophysiological and transcriptional analysis. This study expands the knowledge of how fosfomycin crosses the OM of E. coli.

Project description:Conjugative plasmids are the main vehicle for the horizontal spread of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Although AMR plasmids provide advantages to their hosts under antibiotic pressure, they can also disrupt the cell’s regulatory network, impacting the fitness of their hosts. Despite the importance of plasmid-bacteria interactions on the evolution of AMR, the effects of plasmid carriage on host physiology has remained underexplored, and most studies have focused on model bacteria and plasmids that lack clinical relevance. Here, we analyzed the transcriptional response of 11 clinical enterobacterial strains (2 Escherichia coli, 1 Citrobacter freundii and 8 Klebsiella spp.) and the laboratory-adapted E. coli MG1655 to carriage of pOXA-48, one of the most widely spread carbapenem-resistance plasmids. Our analyses revealed that pOXA-48 produces variable responses on their hosts, but commonly affects processes related to metabolism, transport, response to stimulus, cellular organization and motility. More notably, the presence of pOXA-48 caused an increase in the expression of a small chromosomal operon of unknown function in Klebsiella spp. and C. freundii, which is not present in E. coli. Phylogenetic analysis suggested that this operon has been horizontally mobilized across different Proteobacteria species. We demonstrate that a pOXA-48-encoded LysR transcriptional regulator controls the expression of the operon in Klebsiella spp. and C. freundii. In summary, our results highlight a crosstalk between pOXA-48 and the chromosome of its natural hosts.

Project description:<p>Traveler's diarrhea (TD) is caused by enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC), other pathogenic gram-negative pathogens, norovirus and some parasites. Nevertheless, standard diagnostic methods fail to identify pathogens in more than 30% of TD patients, so it is predicted that new pathogens or groups of pathogens may be causative agents of disease. A comprehensive metagenomic study of the fecal microbiomes from 23 TD patients and seven healthy travelers was performed, all of which tested negative for the known etiologic agents of TD in standard tests. Metagenomic reads were assembled and the resulting contigs were subjected to semi-manual binning to assemble independent genomes from metagenomic pools. Taxonomic and functional annotations were conducted to assist identification of putative pathogens. We extracted 560 draft genomes, 320 of which were complete enough to be enough characterized as cellular genomes and 160 of which were bacteriophage genomes. We made predictions of the etiology of disease in individual subjects based on the properties and features of the recovered cellular genomes. Three subtypes of samples were observed. First were four patients with low diversity metagenomes that were predominated by one or more pathogenic E. coli strains. Annotation allowed prediction of pathogenic type in most cases. Second, five patients were co-infected with E. coli and other members of the Enterobacteriaceae, including antibiotic resistant Enterobacter, Klebsiella, and Citrobacter. Finally, several samples contained genomes that represented dark matter. In one of these samples we identified a TM7 genome that phylogenetically clustered with a strain isolated from wastewater and carries genes encoding potential virulence factors. We also observed a very high proportion of bacteriophage reads in some samples. The relative abundance of phage was significantly higher in healthy travelers when compared to TD patients. Our results highlight that assembly-based analysis revealed that diarrhea is often polymicrobial and includes members of the Enterobacteriaceae not normally associated with TD and have implicated a new member of the TM7 phylum as a potential player in diarrheal disease. </p>
