Gene expression analysis of Staphyloccoccus aureus USA300 vs USA300 agr knockout.

Project description:The study aims to compare gene expression patterns of Staphyloccoccus aureus USA300 wild type (reference) vs USA300 agr knockout(query). The agr quorum sensing system is an important regulator of density dependent gene expression. To determine the role of agr in USA300 virulence a agr mutant was constructed and differential gene expression compared to the parental wildtype.

Single-cell approach dissecting agr quorum sensing dynamics in Staphylococcus aureus

Project description:RNAseq of exponentially growing cultures of the four agr prototype strains used in the study to investigate if differential expression of regulators interacting with the agr system could explain the differences in AIP sensitivity. Abstract Staphylococcus aureus both colonizes humans and causes severe virulent infections. Virulence is regulated by the agr quorum sensing system and its autoinducing peptide (AIP), with dynamics at the single-cell level across four agr-types – each defined by distinct AIP sequences and capable of cross-inhibition – remaining elusive. Employing microfluidics, time-lapse microscopy, and deep-learning image analysis, we uncovered significant differences in AIP sensitivity among agr-types. We observed bimodal agr activation, attributed to intergenerational phenotypic stability and influenced by AIP concentration. Upon AIP stimulation, agr III showed AIP insensitivity, while agr II exhibited increased sensitivity and prolonged generation time. Beyond expected cross-inhibition of agr I by heterologous AIP II and III, the presumably cross-activating AIP IV also inhibited agr I. Community interactions across different agr-type pairings revealed four main patterns: stable or switched dominance, and delayed or stable dual activation, influenced by community characteristics. These insights underscore the potential of personalized treatment strategies considering virulence and genetic diversity.

Pharmacologic disruption of agr quorum sensing in Staphylococcus aureus promotes host defense against skin and soft tissue infections

Project description:Drug discovery for novel anti-infectives is essential to meet the global health threat of antibiotic resistant bacterial infections, including those caused by Staphylococcus aureus1,2. Because ~90% of S. aureus infections involve skin and soft tissues (SSTIs)3,4, we hypothesized that developing anti-virulence therapeutics5,6 for SSTIs could minimize pressure on resistance development while sparing conventional antibiotics for control of systemic infections. We identified a small molecule inhibitor that disrupted signaling by a quorum sensing operon, agr, associated with human SSTIs7,8 without affecting agr-independent growth.

The ubiquitous human skin commensal Staphylococcus hominis protects against opportunistic pathogens

Project description:Staphylococcus hominis is frequently isolated from human skin and we hypothesize that it may protect the cutaneous barrier from opportunistic pathogens. We determined that S. hominis makes six unique auto inducing peptide (AIP) signals that inhibit the major virulence factor accessory gene regulator (agr) quorum sensing system of Staphylococcus aureus. We solved and confirmed the structures of three novel AIP signals in conditioned media by mass spectrometry, then validated synthetic AIP activity against all S. aureus agr classes. Synthetic AIPs also inhibited the conserved agr system in a related species, Staphylococcus epidermidis. We determined the distribution of S. hominis agr types on healthy human skin and found S. hominis agr-I and agr-II were highly represented across subjects. Further, synthetic AIP-II was protective in vivo against S. aureus-associated dermonecrotic or epicutaneous injury. Together, these findings demonstrate that a ubiquitous colonizer of human skin has a fundamentally protective role against opportunistic damage.

Linoleic Acid Stimulation of WT Staphylococcus aureus USA300 NRS384

Project description:Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infections result in more than 200,000 hospitalizations and 10,000 deaths in the United States each year and remain an important medical challenge. A key factor of S. aureus pathogenesis is the production of virulence proteins that are secreted into the extracellular matrix damaging host tissues and forming abscesses that may serve as replicative niches for the bacteria. We recently discovered that host-derived cis-unsaturated fatty acids activate the transcription and translation of EsxA, a protein that plays a central role in abscess formation in clinically relevant MRSA strains. Additionally, we discovered that fatty acid stimulation of EsxA is dependent on fakA, a gene that encodes a protein responsible for the incorporation of exogenous fatty acids into the S. aureus phospholipid membrane. In order to gain a comprehensive understanding of host-fatty-acid-sensing in S. aureus, we performed RNA-Seq analysis on WT Staphylococcus aureus USA300 NRS384, a community-acquired MRSA strain, in the presence and absence of 10μM linoleic acid.

The quorum-sensing agr system protects Staphylococcus aureus from oxidative stress (overnight growth)

Project description:The agr quorum-sensing system clearly links Staphylococcus aureus metabolism to virulence, but little is known about how agr alters metabolism to affect cell survival during severe stress. Recently, we reported that agr activity increases survival of bacteria during treatment with lethal concentrations of H2O2, a crucial host defense against S. aureus. Here we report that protection by agr extends to growth resumption during the exit from stationary phase. The data indicate that the agr functionality of a cell’s ancestor affects stress-resiliency after resuming growth. Protection against killing by H2O2 depended on the agr effector molecule RNAIII and Rot, a transcription factor targeted by RNAIII. Expression data revealed that Δagr strains shift to fermentation, suggesting that agr promotes aerobic respiration. Epistasis between mutation of agr and sortase, which anchors surface proteins to the cell wall, suggested that reduced killing by H2O2 of wild-type agr strains acts through down-regulation of surface proteins that perturb respiration. Respiration generates reactive oxygen species (ROS), moderate amounts of which can protect from subsequent challenge by lethal concentrations, explaining agr-mediated protection against subsequent lethal H2O2 doses. Increased survival of wild-type agr cells in response to H2O2 required sodA, which dismutates O2- to H2O2, suggesting that sodA helps induce the low, protective levels of ROS triggered by agr. Additionally, detrimental effects of the Δagr mutation require ahpC, which functions to decrease the intracellular level of H2O2. Deletion of ahpC or sortase attenuated neutrophil-mediated killing of Δagr strains, demonstrating the importance of priming in anticipation of impending immune attack.
