Project description:Staphylococcus haemolyticus is a skin commensal emerging as an opportunistic pathogen. Nosocomial isolates of S. haemolyticus are the most antibiotic resistant members of the coagulase negative staphylococci (CoNS), but information about other S.haemolyticus virulence factors is scarce. Bacterial virulence is mediated by membrane vesicles (MVs) which enable secretion and long distance delivery of bacterial effector molecules while protecting the cargo from proteolytic degradation from the environment. We wanted to determine if the MV protein cargo of S.haemolyticus is strain specific and enriched in certain MV associated proteins compared to the totalsecretome. The present study shows that both clinical and commensal S. haemolyticus isolates produce membrane vesicles. The MV cargo of both strains was enriched in proteins involved in adhesion and in acquisition of iron. The MV cargo of the clinical strain was further enriched in antimicrobial resistance proteins.

Abstract:
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a major life-threatening
opportunistic pathogen that commonly infects immunocompromised
patients. This bacterium owes its success as a pathogen largely
to its metabolic versatility and flexibility. A thorough
understanding of P. aeruginosa's metabolism is thus pivotal for
the design of effective intervention strategies. Here we aim to
provide, through systems analysis, a basis for the
characterization of the genome-scale properties of this
pathogen's versatile metabolic network. To this end, we
reconstructed a genome-scale metabolic network of Pseudomonas
aeruginosa PAO1. This reconstruction accounts for 1,056 genes
(19% of the genome), 1,030 proteins, and 883 reactions. Flux
balance analysis was used to identify key features of P.
aeruginosa metabolism, such as growth yield, under defined
conditions and with defined knowledge gaps within the network.
BIOLOG substrate oxidation data were used in model expansion,
and a genome-scale transposon knockout set was compared against
in silico knockout predictions to validate the model.
Ultimately, this genome-scale model provides a basic modeling
framework with which to explore the metabolism of P. aeruginosa
in the context of its environmental and genetic constraints,
thereby contributing to a more thorough understanding of the
genotype-phenotype relationships in this resourceful and
dangerous pathogen.

Project description:Escherichia coli is the most widely studied strains, which has irreplaceable position in medicine and biology research. Pseudomonas aeruginosa, an opportunistic human pathogen, tends to cause potentially lethal acute or chronic infections in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF), immunocompromised individuals and burn victims. However, it is little know about the effect of the special secondary structure rG4 (G-quadruplex) in the mRNA on virulence regulation. Here, we aim to reveal the new and important post-transcriptional regulatory roles of rG4 in bacterial pathogenicity and metabolic pathways.

Project description:Candida albicans is an opportunistic yeast pathogen that causes a wide range of infections especially amongst immunocompromised patients. Aureobasidin A (AbA) has been shown to inhibit inositolphosphoryl ceramide synthase (IPCS), a key enzyme responsible for sphingolipid biosynthesis. There are limited studies exploring IPCS as a target molecule for antifungal treatment. It is hypothesized that the mechanism of AbA inhibition involves alteration of C. albicans phospholipid and sphingolipid profiles. The profiling of C. albicans phospholipid and sphingolipid upon exposure to 0.5-4 µg/ml of AbA were determined using Liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS).
