Effect of luxS gene mutation on Streptococcus pneumonaie biofilm gene expression


ABSTRACT: Streptococcus pneumoniae is opportunistic bacteria cause’s acute otitis media (AOM) in children. It colonizes the nasopharynx in the form of biofilms, and these biofilms act as reservoir, and are vital for pneumococcal infections. The pneumococcal biofilms are regulated by LuxS/AI-2 media quorum sensing. In this study, we confirmed the role of LuxS/AI-2 for in vitro formation of biofilms, assessed the effects of the absence of LuxS/AI-2 signaling, for pneumococcal middle ear infection and identified global genes regulated by LuxS/AI-2 during formation of pneumococcal biofilms. In the cDNA-microarray analysis, 117 genes were differentially expressed in D39 luxS mutant when compared with D39 wild type. Among the 66 genes encoding putative proteins and previously characterized proteins, 60 were significantly down-regulated and 6 were significantly up-regulated. The functional annotation revealed that genes involve in DNA replication and repair, ATP synthesis, capsule biosynthesis, cell division and cell cycle, signal transduction, transcription regulation, competence, virulence, and carbohydrate metabolism were down-regulated in the absence of LuxS/AI-2.
