LC-MS/MS metabolomics unravels the resistant phenotype of carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae

ABSTRACT:

Introduction: The degree of antimicrobial resistance demonstrated by carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (CPE) represents a growing public health challenge. Conventional methods for detecting CPE involve culture-based techniques with lengthy incubation steps. There is a need to develop rapid and accurate methods for the detection of resistance, for implementation into clinical diagnostics.

Objectives: With cellular phenotype closely linked to the metabolome, the acquisition of resistance should result in detectable differences in microbial metabolism. Accordingly, we sought to profile the metabolome of Enterobacteriaceae isolates belonging to both CPE and non-CPE groups to identify metabolites linked to CPE.

Methods: We used liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry to profile the endo- and exometabolome of 32 Klebsiella pneumoniae and Escherichia coli isolates to identify metabolites which could predict CPE in antibiotic-free conditions after 6 h of growth.

Results: Using supervised machine learning and multivariate analysis algorithms (partial least squares-discriminant analysis, k-nearest neighbour and random forest), we identified 21 metabolite biomarkers which displayed high performance metrics for the prediction of CPE (AUROCs ≥ 0.845). Results revealed a range of alterations between the metabolomes of CPE and non-CPE isolates. Pathway analysis revealed enrichment of microbial pathways including arginine metabolism, ATP-binding cassette transporters, purine metabolism, biotin metabolism, nucleotide metabolism, and biofilm formation, providing mechanistic insight into the resistance phenotype of CPE.

Conclusion: Our models demonstrates the ability to distinguish CPE from non-CPE in under 7 h using metabolite biomarkers, showing potential for the development of a targeted diagnostic assay.

Project description:Fusarium oxysporum is one of the most common species causing soybean root rot and seedling blight in the U.S. In a recent study, significant variation in aggressiveness was observed among isolates of F. oxysporum collected from roots in Iowa, ranging from highly pathogenic to weakly or non-pathogenic isolates. In the present work, a RNA-seq-based analysis was used for the first time to investigate the molecular aspect of the interaction of a partially resistant soybean genotype with non-pathogenic/pathogenic isolates of F. oxysporum at 72 and 96 hours post inoculation (hpi). Markedly different gene expression profiles were observed in compatible and incompatible host-pathogen combinations. A peak of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) was observed at 72 hpi in soybean roots in response to both isolates, although the number of DEGs was about eight times higher for the pathogenic isolate compared to the non-pathogenic one (1,659 vs. 203 DEGs, respectively). Furthermore, not only the number of genes, but also the magnitude of induction was much greater in response to the pathogenic isolate. This response included a stronger activation of many well-known defense-related genes, and several genes involved in ethylene biosynthesis and signalling, transcription factors, secondary and sugar metabolism. In addition, 1130 fungal genes were differentially expressed between the F. oxysporum isolates in planta during the infection process. Interestingly, 10% of these genes encode plant cell-wall degrading enzymes, reactive oxygen species-related enzymes and fungal proteins involved in primary metabolic pathways. Such information may be useful in the development of new methods of broadening resistance of soybean to F. oxysporum, including the silencing of important fungal genes, and also to understand the molecular basis of soybean-F. oxysporum interactions. Soybean seedlings mRNA profiles inoculated with a non-pathogenic and pathogenic isolates of F. oxysporum and collected at 72 and 96 hpi, were generated using Illumina HiSeq 2500. Control seedlings were also included for each time of inoculation. Three biological replicates were considered for each condition, 18 samples in total.
