Project description:To determine if significant genomic changes are associated with the development of vancomycin intermediate Staphylococcus aureus, genomic DNA microarrays were performed to compare the initial vancomycin susceptible Staphylococcus aureus (VSSA) and a related vancomycin intermediate Staphylococcus aureus (VISA) isolate from five unique patients (five isolate pairs). Keywords: comparative genomic hybridization

Project description:Staphylococcus aureus is an adaptable human pathogen causing life-threatening endocarditis and bacteraemia. Methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) is alarmingly common, and treatment is confined to last-line antibiotics. Vancomycin is the treatment of choice for MRSA bacteraemia and vancomycin treatment failure is often associated with vancomycin-intermediate S. aureus strains termed VISA. The regulatory 3’ UTR of vigR mRNA contributes to vancomycin tolerance in the clinical VISA isolate JKD6008 and upregulates the lytic transglycosylase IsaA. Using MS2-affinity purification coupled with RNA sequencing (MAPS), we find that the vigR 3' UTR also interacts with mRNAs involved in carbon metabolism, amino acid biogenesis, cell wall biogenesis, and virulence. The vigR 3' UTR was found to repress dapE, a succinyl-diaminopimelate desuccinylase required for lysine and cell wall peptidoglycan synthesis, suggesting a broader role in controlling cell wall metabolism and vancomycin tolerance. Deletion of the vigR 3' UTR increased VISA virulence in a wax moth larvae model, and we find that an isaA mutant is completely attenuated in the larvae model. Sequence and structural analysis of the vigR 3' UTR indicates that the UTR has expanded through the acquisition of Staphylococcus aureus repeat insertions (STAR repeats) that partly contribute sequence for the isaA interaction seed and may functionalise the 3’ UTR. Our findings reveal an extended regulatory network for vigR, uncovering a novel mechanism of regulation of cell wall metabolism and virulence in a clinical S. aureus isolate.

Project description:Staphylococcus aureus has been recognized as an important cause of human disease for more than 100 years. Resistance to multiple classes of antibiotics is becoming an increasingly difficult problem in the management of methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) and vancomycin-intermediate resistant S. aureus (VISA) infections. One approach to the MRSA and VISA problem, involves the discovery and development of new natural antimicrobials. The antimicrobial properties of essential oils of plant origin have been recognized for many years. In this study 0.1% of commercial cold pressed terpeneless Valencia orange oil (CPV) showed inhibitory and lytic activity against MRSA and VISA. To identify the mechanisms of action of CPV genomic response of CPV treated MRSA was analyzed by transcriptional profiling. Results showed alteration in the expression of cell wall peptidoglycan biosynthesis associated genes in the CPV treated cells. Transmission electron microscopic observation of CPV treated MRSA cells exhibited cell wall damage and cell lysis. Overall results of this study suggest that CPV may be a potential anti-staphylococcal agent for MRSA.

Project description:Coordinated protein-coding sequence transcriptional responses of Staphylococcus aureus to antimicrobial exposure are well described but little is known of the role of bacterial non-coding, small RNAs (sRNAs) in these responses. Here we used RNAseq to investigate the sRNA response of the epidemic multiresistant hospital ST239 S. Aureus strain JKD6009 and its vancomycin-intermediate clinical derivative, JKD6008, after exposure to four antibiotics representing the major classes of antimicrobials used to treat methicillin-resistant S. Aureus infections. These agents included vancomycin, linezolid, ceftobiprole, and tigecycline. We identified 410 potential sRNAs (sRNAs) and then compared global sRNA and mRNA expression profiles at 2 and 6 hours, without antibiotic exposure, and after exposure to 0.5 x MIC for each antibiotic, for both JKD6009 (VSSA), and JKD6008 (VISA).

Project description:Vancomycin-intermediate Staphylococcus aureus (VISA) evolve in a strain-specific manner and acquire mutations that lead to alterations in cell wall metabolism that reduce susceptibility to vancomycin. We had earlier isolated several VISA mutant strains of the clinical hVISA strain MM66. This study is aimed at analyzing the metabolome of these mutants in comparison to the parent strain.

Project description:Complete reconstitution of the vancomycin-intermediate Staphylococcus aureus (VISA) phenotype of Mu50 was achieved by sequentially introducing mutations into five genes of a vancomycin-susceptible S. aureus (VSSA) strain ∆IP. Introduction of mutation Ser329Leu into vraS encoding the sensor histidine kinase of vraSR two-component regulatory (TCR) system and another mutation Glu146Lys into msrR, encoding putative methionine sulfoxide reductase regulator, raised vancomycin resistance to the level of heterogeneously vancomycin-intermediate S. aureus (hVISA) strain Mu3. Introduction of two more mutations, graR (Asn197Ser) of graSR TCR system and rpoB(His481Tyr) encoding ß subunit of RNA polymerase, converted the hVISA strain into a VISA strain having the level of vancomycin resistance of Mu50. Surprisingly, however, the constructed quadruple mutant strain did not have thickened cell wall, a cardinal feature of VISA phenotype. Subsequent study showed that cell-wall thickening was an inducible phenotype with the mutant strain as opposed to that of Mu50, which is a constitutive one. Finally, introduction of mutation Ala297Val into the orf SAV2309 of the mutant strain converted the inducible cell-wall thickening into a constitutive one. SAV2309 encodes a putative formate dehydrogenase (designated Fdh2). Though not a transcription regulator, the mutation of the fdh2 caused a significant change in transcriptome. Thus, all of the five mutated genes required for VISA phenotype acquisition were directly or indirectly involved in the regulation of cell physiology. VISA seemed to be achieved through multiple genetic events accompanying drastic changes in cell physiology.
