Escherichia coli global gene expression due ciprofloxacin challenge in human whole blood

ABSTRACT: Treatment failures of antibiotic therapy are of major concern and can be caused by a misalignment of the antibiotic susceptibility determined in vitro with the behaviour of the pathogen in the patient. The aim of this study was to investigate the transcriptomic response of the uropathogenic strain E. coli CFT073 to antibiotic treatment in blood stream infection (BSI) models in order to understand and avoid antibiotic therapy failures in urosepsis treatments. Blood stream infection models were established by growing E. coli CFT073 in pooled human blood with and without ciprofloxacin. The antibiotic challenge was introduced at mid-logarithmic phase of growth of the organism to depict a clinical scenario. The responses were quantified by comparing to the responses at a given time point without the challenge. Global gene expression profiling of these conditions was examined using commercial DNA microarrays. The organism’s metabolic genes appeared to be regulated differently in each medium, this indicated that the bacterial growth regulation were different between the models. Bacterial growth in human serum mainly involved regulations of amino acid synthesis/utilisation such as glycine, arginine, thiamine, regulations of fimbrial proteins and bacteriophage genes. When comparing the responses to antibiotic challenge, bacteria grown in the respective medium displayed specific responses to the antibiotic challenge which were not seen in the other media. The common functions of genes that responded to the ciprofloxacin challenge were SOS response, DNA repair, DNA replication, fimbrial genes and bacteriophage initiation. A subset of the bacteriophage genes showed similar responses between the three models. From genes that were differentially regulated, responses observed in the serum model appeared to have the highest fold changes. In this study we established new models to investigate blood stream infections. They have been used to identify previously unknown differences in the molecular response to antibiotic treatment by the uropathogenic E. coli CFT073 depending on the media. These unique responses will help to unravel the complexity of bloodstream infection and can help to improve the antibiotic therapy that is used.

Project description:Background: Antibiotic resistance is an urgent threat to public health. Prior to the evolution of antibiotic resistance, bacteria frequently undergo response and tend to develop a state of adaption to the antibiotic. Ciprofloxacin is a broad-spectrum antibiotic by damaging DNA. With the widespread clinical application, the resistance of bacteria to ciprofloxacin continues to increase. This study aimed to investigate the transcriptome changes under the action of high concentration of ciprofloxacin in Escherichia coli. Results: We identified 773 up-regulated differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and 645 down-regulated DEGs in ciprofloxacin treated cells. Enriched biological pathways reflected the up-regulation of biological process such as DNA damage and repair system, toxin/antitoxin systems, formaldehyde detoxification system, peptide biosynthetic process and cellular protein metabolic process. With KEGG pathway analysis, up-regulated DEGs of kdsA and waa operon were associated with “LPS biosynthesis”. rfbABC operon was related to “streptomycin biosynthesis” and “polyketide sugar unit biosynthesis ”. Down-regulated DEGs of thrABC and fliL operons were associated with “flagellum-dependent cell motility” and “bacterial-type flagellum” in GO terms, and enriched into “biosynthesis of amino acids” and “flagellar assembly” in KEGG pathways. After treatment of ciprofloxacin, bacterial lipopolysacchride (LPS) release was increased by two times, and the mRNA expression level of LPS synthesis genes, waaB, waaP and waaG were elevated (P < 0.05). Conclusions: Characterization of the gene clusters by RNA-seq showed high dose of ciprofloxacin not only lead to damage of bacterial macromolecules and components, but also induce protective response against antibiotic action by up-regulating the SOS system, toxin/antitoxin system and formaldehyde detoxification system. Moreover, genes related to biosynthesis of LPS were also upregulated by the treatment indicating that ciprofloxacin can enhance the production of endotoxin on the level of transcription. These results demonstrated that transient exposure of high dose ciprofloxacin is double edged. Cautions should be taken when administering the high dose antibiotic treatment for infectious diseases.
