Project description:Biomaterial infections are an increasingly alarming problem, and because of their intrinsic recalcitrance to conventional therapy, a new class of antifungal drugs must be explored. 10b, a 2-aminotetralin derivate, was synthesized as a novel chemical structural antifungal agent and exibited strong anti-biofilm activity. To further investigate the action mechanism, we used microarray analysis to investigate the genes expression profiles of C. albicans biofilms treated or untreated with 10b and found 150 genes were differentially expressed. Of them, 69 showed a decrease in expression and 81 showed an increase in expression -10 differentially expressed genes related to biofilm formation, Filamentous or hypha growth. A gene related to specifically hydrolyzing β-1, 3 glucan was significantly increased. 10 down-regulated genes were involved in glycolysis, fermentation and active oxygen scavenging. 15 overexpressed genes were related to the lipid metabolic process. Of them, 13 genes were directly linked to ergosterol biosynthesis including ERG2, ERG6 and ERG11. 10 genes related to translation were over-expressed. Among them, 2 genes involved in negative regulation of transcription were significantly up-regulated. Total RNA from the control SC5314 biofilms and 10b-treated SC5314 biofilms were used to generate target cDNA, and then hybridized to 8k Candida albicans Genome Array Genechips, representing about 7925 characterized Candida albicans genes. Two independent experiments were conducted. Reference strain was control SC5314 biofilms and test strain was SC5314 biofilms treated with 10b.

Project description:Bacteria in biofilms have higher antibiotic tolerance than their planktonic counterparts. A major outstanding question is the degree to which the biofilm-specific cellular state and its constituent genetic determinants contribute to this hyper-tolerant phenotype. Here, using genome-wide functional profiling of a complex, heterogeneous mutant population of Pseudomonas aeruginosa MPAO1, we identified large sets of mutations that contribute to antibiotic tolerance predominantly in the biofilm or planktonic setting only. Our mixed population-based experimental design recapitulated the complexity of natural biofilms and, unlike previous studies, revealed clinically observed behaviors including the emergence of quorum sensing-deficient mutants. Our study revealed a substantial contribution of the cellular state to the antibiotic tolerance of biofilms, providing a rational foundation for the development of novel therapeutics against P. aeruginosa biofilm-associated infections. This dataset compares the expression of SAH108, a strain with enhanced antibiotic tolerance in the biofilm state, to expression in wild-type strains.

Project description:To explain enhanced biofilm formation and increased dissemination of S. epidermidis in mixed-species biofilms, microarrays were used to explore differential gene expression of S. epidermidis in mixed-species biofilms. One sample from single species biofilm (S1) and mixed-species biofilm (SC2) were excluded from analyses for outliers. We observed upregulation (2.7%) and down regulation (6%) of S. epidermidis genes in mixed-species biofilms. Autolysis repressors lrgA and lrgB were down regulated 36-fold and 27-fold respectively and was associated with increased eDNA possibly due to enhanced autolysis in mixed-species biofilms. These data suggest that bacterial autolysis and release of eDNA in the biofilm matrix may be responsible for enhancement and dissemination of mixed-species biofilms of S. epidermidis and C. albicans. Staphylococcal gene expression in mixed-species biofilms with Candida and in single species biofilms of S. epidermidis were analyzed. The experiment was repeated thrice on 3 different days (3 biological replicates each for single species biofilms of S. epidermidis and mixed-species biofilms). Only 2 biological replicates were analyzed and one biological replicate was not analyzed (S1 and SC1 - raw data files are provided on the Series record). Single species biofilms of S. epidermidis (strain 1457) and C. albicans (strain 32354) and mixed-species biofilms were formed on 6-well tissue culture plates. Five ml of organism suspensions (O.D. 0.3, S. epidermidis 107 CFU/ml or C. albicans 105 CFU/ml) or 2.5 ml each for mixed-species biofilms for 24 hr. RNA was harvested from single species and mixed-species biofilms.

We compared the expression of two biological replicates from strain SAH108 to samples from three wild-type, reference strains. All samples were collected from exponentially-growing planktonic cultures.

Project description:In nature, bacteria reside in biofilms - multicellular differentiated communities held together by extracellular matrix. In this work, we identified a novel subpopulation essential for biofilm formation – mineral-forming cells in Bacillus subtilis biofilms. This subpopulation contains an intracellular calcium-accumulating niche, in which the formation of a calcium carbonate mineral is initiated. As the biofilm colony develops, this mineral grows in a controlled manner, forming a functional macrostructure that serves the entire community. Consistently, biofilm development is prevented by inhibition of calcium uptake. Taken together, our results provide a clear demonstration of the orchestrated production of calcite exoskeleton, critical to morphogenesis in simple prokaryotes. We expect future research exploring this newly discovered process to shed further light on mechanisms of bacterial development.

Project description:Streptococcus pneumoniae is a Gram positive bacterium that causes severe invasive infection such as pneumonia, septicemia, meningitis and otitis media especially in children, the elderly and immune-compromised patients. Pneumococcal colonization and disease is often associated with biofilm formation. Bacteria in biofilms exhibit elevated resistance both to antibiotics and to host defense systems, which often results in persistent and difficult-to-treat infections. Therefore, the ongoing treat to human health posed by pneumococcal biofilms has prompted extensive research aimed to identify alternative targets and new antimicrobial agents that are effective against bacteria biofilms. The effective anti-biofilm strategies should include inhibition of microbial adhesion to the surface and of colonization, interference with the signal molecules modulating biofilm development and the disaggregation of the biofilm matrix. In this study, we examine the effect of DAM inhibitor small molecule pyrimidine-diones on streptococcus pneumoniae D-39 strain growth (planktonic and biofilm) and evaluate the changes in global gene expression using c-DNA microarray. The microarray analysis was performed on total RNA extracted from biofilms grown in 24-well microtiter plate with 7µm/ml pyrimidine-diones small molecule and control biofilms (biofilms grown without pyrimidine-diones small molecule). To validate the results of microarray, real-time RT-PCR was performed on 12 differentially expressed genes from six different functional groups. cDNA-microarray analysis detected a total of 259 genes that were significantly differentially expressed in biofilm growth with pyrimidine-diones small molecule. 204 genes were significantly down expressed and 55 genes were significantly up expressed in biofilms grown with 7µm/ml pyrimidine-diones small molecule. Among the 204 down expressed genes, 45 were hypothetical protein encoding gene and 159 were functional protein encoding genes. Of 55 up-regulated genes 21 were hypothetical genes and 34 were functional protein encoding genes. The functional annotation showed that gene involve in fatty acid metabolism, cell division, cell cycles, DNA metabolism, cell assembly were significantly down regulated and galactose metabolism related gene were up-expressed in biofilm grown with pyrimidine-diones small molecule.

Project description:Biofilms serve as a protective mechanism for bacteria to cope with environmental stress. Whilst ordinarily a fastidious organism, it has been long suggested that C. jejuni is able to utilise this mode of growth as a way to transmit infection from the avian host to humans. Herein, we undertook a combinatorial approach to examine differential expression of C. jejuni genes and protein abundance during biofilm formation. RNA sequencing and proteomics via quantitative liquid chromatography – tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) revealed biofilm growth induced a substantial rearrangement of the C. jejuni transcriptome and proteome, with ~600 genes differentially expressed in biofilms compared to planktonic cells. Biofilm-induced genes / proteins were those involved in iron metabolism and acquisition, cell division, glycan production and attachment, while those repressed were associated with metabolism, amino acid uptake and utilisation, and large tracts of the chemotaxis pathway.

Project description:A recent study reported that daptomycin-resistant MRSA (DAPR) strain biofilm is more resistant to daptomycin and vancomycin, as compared to the WT strain biofilm. This pose a great danger since DAPR MRSA is prevalent in clinics and they often form biofilms in medical devices. In this study, we investigate the anti-biofilm activity of elasnin against DAPR MRSA biofilms, and we observed that elasnin is not only effective to eradicate the biofilm of the DAPR strain, but it shows a superior activity compared to the susceptible WT strain. Using proteomics, we compared the proteome profile of the DAPR and the WT strain biofilm cells under elasnin treatment to reveal why elasin is superior against the DAPR strain. Besides, we also employed adaptive laboratory evolution (ALE) experiment by repetitively treating MRSA culture with high dose of elasnin, and generated evolved MRSA strain with increased elasnin tolerance. Using quantitative proteomics, we compared the proteome differences in the elasnin-susceptible WT MRSA and elasnin-tolerant evolved strain.
