Project description:We studied the effects of three classes of antibiotics (amoxicillin, chlortetracycline and enrofloxacin ) on P. multocida transcriptome using custom oligonucleotide microarrays from Nimblegen systems. All the 2015 genes of Pm70 were spotted on the array and hybridizations were carried out with RNA isolated from three independent cultures of Pm70 grown in the presence or absence of sub-minimum inhibitory (sub-MIC) doses of antibiotics. Differentially expressed genes were identified by ANOVA and Dunnett’s test. Biological modeling of the differentially expressed genes (DE) was carried out based on Clusters of Orthologous (COG) groups and network analysis in Pathway Studio. Keywords: Response to sub-MIC antibiotics The experimental design included three biological replicate cultures of P. multocida grown in the absence or presence of sub-MIC antibiotics. Effects of antibiotics on the transcriptome with each antibiotic were determined by comparing the growth in the presence of antibiotic (treatment) to growth in the absence of antibiotic (control).

Project description:The production of endogenous hydrogen sulfide (H2S) has been shown to confer antibiotic tolerance in all bacteria studied to date. Therefore, this mediator has been speculated to be a universal defense mechanism against antibiotics in bacteria. This is assuming that all bacteria produce endogenous H2S. In this study, we established that the pathogenic bacteria Acinetobacter baumannii does not produce endogenous H2S, giving us the opportunity to test the effect of exogenous H2S on antibiotic tolerance in a bacterium that does not produce it. By using a H2S-releasing compound to modulate the sulfide content in A. baumannii, we demonstrated that instead of conferring antibiotic tolerance, exogenous H2S sensitized A. baumannii to multiple antibiotic classes, and was able to revert acquired resistance to gentamicin. Exogenous H2S triggered a perturbation of redox and energy homeostasis that translated into hypersensitivity to antibiotic killing. We propose that H2S could be used as an antibiotic-potentiator and resistance-reversion agent in bacteria that do not produce it.

Project description:Cefiderocol (CFDC) is a novel chlorocatechol-substituted siderophore approved to treat complicated urinary tract infections and for hospital-acquired and ventilator-acquired pneumonia. In previous work, human fluids, were shown to increase the minimum inhibitory concentration (MICs) of Acinetobacter baumannii against CFDC and reduce the expression of genes related to iron uptake systems, which could explain the need for higher concentrations of CFDC to exert inhibitory action. Herein, we analyzed the impact of human urine (HU), which contains low albumin concentrations, on the expression of iron-uptake related genes and MIC values of two carbapenem-resistant A. baumannii. Levels of resistance to CFDC were not modified by HU in strain AMA40 but were reduced in the case of strain AB5075. Testing other carbapenem-resistant A. baumannii isolates showed that the CFDC MICs were unmodified or reduced in the presence of HU. The expression of piuA, pirA, bauA, and bfnH determined by qRT-PCR was enhanced in both strains when HU was present in the culture medium. All four tested genes are involved in recognizing ferric siderophore complexes or internalization into the cell’s cytosol. In contrast, the effect of HU on genes associated with resistance to β-lactams, antibiotics commonly used to treat urinary tract infections caused by A. baumannii, was variable; the transcriptional analysis of pbp1, pbp3, blaOXA-51-like, blaADC, and blaNDM-1 showed significant variation. In summary, HU, probably due to the albumin and free iron content, does not adversely impact or slightly improves the activity of CFDC when tested against A. baumannii in urine in contrast to other human bodily fluids.

Project description:In this study the transcriptomic changes occurring in A. baumannii ATCC 17978 in response to shock treament using the biocide chlorhexdine were determined. A. baumannii ATCC 17978 cells were grown at 37°C with shaking (200rpm) in 35mL cultures in MH broth to OD600=0.75, at which time they were split into 15mL cultures. One 15mL sample was treated with 4µg/mL chlorhexidine (0.5x MIC), whereas the other was not treated and used as a reference. Cultures were allowed to grow for a further 30 mins (to an average final OD600= ~1.35 for untreated cells and 1.25 for chlorhexidine treated samples), when cells were harvested by centrifugation and immediately suspended in Trizol reagent (Invitrogen). Total RNA was extracted using the PureLinkTM Micro-to-Midi Total RNA Purification kit (Invitrogen), incorporating an on-column DNAseI (Invitrogen) digestion. The experiment included using four grids of a custom Agilent 8 x 15000 spot microarray. Three biological replicates and one flip dye experiment.

Project description:Acinetobacter baumannii is a nosocomial Gram-negative pathogen that often displays multidrug-resistance due to its robust outer membrane and its ability to acquire and retain extracellular DNA. Moreover, it can survive for prolonged durations on surfaces and is resistant to desiccation. Discovering new antibiotics against A. baumannii has proven challenging through conventional screening approaches. Fortunately, machine learning methods allow for the rapid exploration of chemical space, increasing the probability of discovering new chemical matter with antibacterial activity against this burdensome pathogen. Here, we screened ~7,500 molecules for those that inhibited the growth of A. baumannii in vitro. We trained a deep neural network with this growth inhibition dataset and performed predictions on the Drug Repurposing Hub for structurally novel molecules with activity against A. baumannii. Through this approach, we discovered abaucin, an antibacterial compound with narrow-spectrum activity against A. baumannii, which could overcome intrinsic and acquired resistance mechanisms in clinical isolates. Further investigations revealed that abaucin perturbs lipoprotein trafficking through a mechanism involving LolE, a functionally conserved protein that contributes to shuttling lipoproteins from the inner membrane to the outer membrane. Moreover, abaucin was able to control an A. baumannii infection in a murine wound model. Together, this work highlights the utility of machine learning in discovering new antibiotics and describes a promising lead with narrow-spectrum activity against a challenging Gram-negative pathogen.

Project description:Desiccation tolerance has been implicated as an important characteristic that potentiates the spread of the bacterial pathogen Acinetobacter baumannii through hospitals on dry surfaces. Despite the potential importance of this stress response, scarce information is available describing the underlying mechanisms of A. baumannii desiccation tolerance. Here we characterize the factors influencing desiccation survival of A. baumannii. At the macroscale level, we find that desiccation tolerance is influenced by cell density, growth phase, and desiccation medium. Our transcriptome analysis indicates that desiccation represents a unique state for A. baumannii compared to commonly studied growth conditions and strongly influences pathways responsible for proteostasis. Remarkably, we find that an increase in total cellular protein aggregates, which is often considered deleterious, correlates positively with the ability of A. baumannii to survive desiccation. We show that artificially inducing protein aggregate formation increases desiccation survival, and more importantly, that proteins incorporated into cellular aggregates can retain activity. Our results suggest that protein aggregates may promote desiccation tolerance in A. baumannii through preserving and protecting proteins from damage during desiccation until rehydration occurs.
