Project description:Tan2012 - Antibiotic Treatment, Inoculum Effect
The efficacy of many antibiotics decreases with increasing bacterial density, a phenomenon called the ‘inoculum effect’ (IE). This study reveals that, for ribosome-targeting antibiotics, IE is due to bistable inhibition of bacterial growth, which reduces the efficacy of certain treatment frequencies.

Abstract:
The inoculum effect (IE) refers to the decreasing efficacy of an antibiotic with increasing bacterial density. It represents a unique strategy of antibiotic tolerance and it can complicate design of effective antibiotic treatment of bacterial infections. To gain insight into this phenomenon, we have analyzed responses of a lab strain of Escherichia coli to antibiotics that target the ribosome. We show that the IE can be explained by bistable inhibition of bacterial growth. A critical requirement for this bistability is sufficiently fast degradation of ribosomes, which can result from antibiotic-induced heat-shock response. Furthermore, antibiotics that elicit the IE can lead to 'band-pass' response of bacterial growth to periodic antibiotic treatment: the treatment efficacy drastically diminishes at intermediate frequencies of treatment. Our proposed mechanism for the IE may be generally applicable to other bacterial species treated with antibiotics targeting the ribosomes.

Project description:Myeloid progenitors derived from antibiotic-treated mice have cell-intrinsic functional defects. In this microarray dataset, the transcriptomes of bone marrow myeloid progenitors from antibiotic-treated and control mice are compared. Myeloid progenitors from antibiotic-treated mice have a reduced interferon gene expression signature. These data suggest that tonic interferon signaling is sensed by myeloid progenitors and such signals are reduced in antibiotic-treated mice.
Project description:To study the effect of alterations in microbial density on the host, conventional C57Bl6 mice were treated with polymyxin B, ciprofloxacin, vancomycin, clindamycin, or ampicillin for 4 weeks. These antibiotic regimens result in a differential reduction in fecal microbial density. RNA-seq of whole tissue from the proximal colon was performed on the antibiotic treated mice, germ free controls, and non-antibiotic treated controls to interrogate transcriptional changes in the host.
