Project description:Bacteriophage (phage) are viruses that can kill bacteria, but also mediate gene transfer for bacterial evolution. The telomere phages are a curious form using telomere-like structures to replicate their genomes as linear extrachromosomal elements. Here we find that telomere phages are widely distributed in bacteria, being highly prevalent in Klebsiella species. We established a model system to investigate telomere phage biology and find only a small set of phage proteins are expressed in phage-host cells, including a toxin – telocin - that kills other Klebsiella strains. We identify and validate other telocins in the genomes of other, widespread Klebsiella telomere phages. Thus, telomere phages are widespread elements encoding diverse antibacterial weapons and we discuss the prospect of using telocins for precision editing of microbial populations.

Project description:Klebsiella pneumoniae has risen to prominence as a major threat to human health, with hypervirulent and drug-resistant lineages spreading globally. Given their antimicrobial resistant phenotypes, new therapies are required for the treatment of these infections, and bacteriophages (phages) that kill Klebsiella are being identified for use in phage therapy. In order to circumvent the evolution of phage-resistance taking hold the way that drug-resistance has, clear and considered actions are needed in selecting the phages that would be used in therapeutic cocktails. It is known that annotation of phage genomes is poor, potentially obscuring those phages with the most therapeutic potential. Here we show that phages isolated from infrequently sampled environments have features of therapeutic potential and developed a computational tool called STEP3 to understand the evolutionary features that distinguish the component parts of diverse phages, features that proved particularly suitable to detection of virion proteins with only distantly related homologies. These features were integrated into an ensemble framework to achieve a stable and robust prediction performance by STEP3. Proteomics-based analysis of two phages validated the prediction accuracy of STEP3 and revealed the virions contain component parts that include DNA-binding factors, otherwise unrecognizable capsule degradation enzymes and membrane translocation factors.

Project description:In this study, mRNA expression profiles of 113 primary untreated human neuroblastoma samples were compared with the aim to identify prognostic exon and gene sets as well as parameters associated with alternative exon use. The primary neuroblastoma specimens were from tumor banks in Cologne or Essen, Germany, Ghent, Belgium and Valencia, Spain. All patients were diagnosed between 1998 and 2007 and treated according to the German Neuroblastoma trials NB97, NB 2004 or the SIOPEN protocol.

Project description:Antibiotic use can lead to expansion of multi-drug resistant pathobionts within the gut microbiome that can cause life-threatening infections. Selective alternatives to conventional antibiotics are in dire need. Here, we describe a Klebsiella PhageBank that enables the rapid design of antimicrobial bacteriophage cocktails to treat multi-drug resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae. Using a transposon library in carbapenem-resistant K. pneumoniae, we identified host factors required for phage infection in major Klebsiella phage families. Leveraging the diversity of the PhageBank and experimental evolution strategies, we formulated combinations of phages that minimize the occurrence of phage resistance in vitro. Optimized bacteriophage cocktails selectively suppressed the burden of multi-drug resistant K. pneumoniae in the mouse gut microbiome and drove bacterial populations to lose key virulence factors that act as phage receptors. Further, phage-mediated diversification of bacterial populations in the gut enabled co-evolution of phage variants with higher virulence and a broader host range. Altogether, the Klebsiella PhageBank represents a roadmap for both phage researchers and clinicians to enable phage therapy against a critical multidrug-resistant human pathogen.

Project description:The aim of this study is to identify the specific bacteria that are responsible for pathological bacterial translocation and subsequent Th17 priming in the liver in primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC). To clarify the mechanism of how microbiota interacts with the intestinal epithelial barrier, monolayered human intestinal organoids were cultured with the specific bacteria. Gene expression analysis using RNA sequencing in epithelial cells cultured with Klebsiella pneumoniae derived from a PSC patient (KP-P1) or commercially obtained Klebsiella pneumoniae strain (KP JCM1662) was performed in this study.

Project description:We report SARS-CoV-2 KP.1, KP.1.1, KP.2 and KP.3 neutralizing antibody titers. They displayed increased immune evasion compared to JN.1, especially KP.1 and KP.3, for participants who experienced BF.7/BA.5.2 breakthrough infection or received bivalent (delta/BA.5) vaccine boosting. Second XBB sub-variants breakthrough infection enhanced the neutralization responses. HK.3-JN.1 RBD-heterodimer induced balanced and potent neutralizing responses against recently-circulating SARS-CoV-2 sub-variants in mice, supporting to replace the COVID-19 antigen containing JN.1 or its sub-variants.
