Project description:The success of community-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (CA-MRSA) as pathogens is due to a combination of antibiotic resistance with high virulence. However, evolution of the exceptional virulence potential of CA-MRSA is not understood. Our previous study indicated that differential gene expression contributes substantially to this process. Thus, we here investigated the role of the pivotal virulence gene regulatory system agr in the most prevalent CA-MRSA strain USA300. Using a mouse subcutaneous infection model, we show that agr is essential for the development of CA-MRSA skin infections, the most frequent manifestation of disease caused by CA-MRSA. Furthermore, genome-wide analysis of gene expression revealed significant differences in agr-dependent virulence gene regulation between CA-MRSA, HA-MRSA, and laboratory strains. Our findings demonstrate that agr functionality is critical for CA-MRSA disease and indicate that an adaptation of the agr regulon to optimize expression of a broad set of virulence determinants may have contributed to the evolution of exceptionally pronounced virulence of CA-MRSA strains. Keywords: wild type vs mutant

Project description:Previous studies have documented the diversity of genetic background of methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) strains associated with healthcare (HA-MRSA), community (CA-MRSA) and livestock (LA-MRSA). The accessory and core-variable genome content of those strains remain largely unknown. To compare the composition of accessory and core-variable genome of Belgian MRSA strains according to host, population setting and genetic background, representative strains of HA- (n=21), CA- (n = 13) and ST398 LA-MRSA (n = 18) were characterized by a DNA-microarray (StaphVar Array) composed of oligonucleotide probes targeting ~400 resistance, adhesion and virulence associated genes.ST398 strains displayed very homogenous hybridization profiles (>94% gene content homology) irrespective of their host origin. This “ST398-specific” genomic profile was not distantly demarked from those of certain human-associated lineages but lacked several virulence- and colonization-associated genes harbored by strains of human origin, such as genes encoding proteases, haemolysins or adhesins. No enterotoxin gene was found among ST398 strains. In conclusion, our findings are consistent with a non-human origin of this ST398 lineage but suggest that it might have the potential to adapt further to the human host.

Project description:S. aureus ATCC 25923 is performance standard for antimicrobial susceptibility testing. S. aureus ATCC 33591 showed resistance against erytrhromycin, penicillin, and streptomycin. We used microarray to compare RNA expression between sensitive and resistant strain of S. aureus as a preliminary research for MRSA inhibition.

Project description:We present a method that employs two genetically encoded substrate phage display libraries coupled with next generation sequencing (SPD-NGS) that allows up to 10,000-fold deeper sequence coverage of the typical 6 to 8 residue protease cleavage sites compared to state-of-the-art synthetic peptide libraries or proteomics. We applied SPD-NGS to two classes of proteases, the intracellular caspases 2, 3, 6, 7 and 8, and the ectodomains of the membrane sheddases, ADAMs 10 and 17. The first library (Lib 10AA) was used to determine substrate cleavage motifs. Lib 10AA contains a highly diverse randomized 10-mer substrate peptide sequences (10^9 unique members) that was displayed mono-valently on filamentous phage and bound to magnetic beads via an N-terminal biotin. The protease was allowed to cleave the SPD beads, and the released phage subjected to up to three total rounds of positive selection followed by next generation sequencing (NGS). This allowed us to identify from 10^4 to 10^5 unique cleavage sites over a broad dynamic range of NGS counts (ranging from 3-5000), and produced consensus and optimal cleavage motifs based positional sequencing scoring matrices and state-of the-art machine learning algorithm that closely matched synthetic peptide data. A second SPD-NGS library (Lib hP) was constructed that allowed us to identify candidate human proteome sequences. Lib hP displayed virtually the entire human proteome tiled in contiguous 49AA sequences with 25AA overlaps (nearly 1 million members). After three rounds of positive selection we identified up to 10^4 natural linear cut sites depending on the protease and captured most of the examples previously identified by proteomics (ranging from 30 to 1000) and predicted 10 to 100-fold more.

Project description:A leading cause of morbidity and mortality during influenza infection is the development of a secondary bacterial pneumonia, which is appropriately treated with antibiotics. In the absence of a bacterial superinfection, prescribing antibiotics is not indicated but has nevertheless become a common clinical practice for those presenting with a respiratory viral illness. We found that antibiotic use during an antecedent influenza infection impaired the lung innate immunologic defenses toward a secondary challenge with methicillin-resistantStaphylococcus aureus(MRSA). The antibiotics perturbed the gut microbiome causing a fungal dysbiosis that drives an increase in lung eosinophils. We also demonstrate eosinophils, through the release of major basic protein, impair macrophage ability to clear MRSA. Moreover, we provide clinical evidence that eosinophils positively correlate with antibiotic use and worsened outcomes in patients hospitalized for viral infections. Altogether, our work establishes a counterproductive effect of antibiotic treatment during influenza infection that have negative immunologic consequences in the lungs thereby increasing the risk of developing a secondary bacterial infection.

We used microarray to compare RNA expression between sensitive and resistant strain of S. aureus as a preliminary research for MRSA inhibition. S. aureus strains were cultivated in tryptic soy broth at 37℃ for 18hrs and harvested for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays.
