Project description:Environmental conditions, including nutrient composition and temperature, influence biofilm formation and antibiotic resistance in Escherichia coli. Understanding how specific metabolites modulate these processes is critical for improving antimicrobial strategies. Here, we investigated the growth and composition of Escherichia coli in both planktonic and biofilm states under the influence of L-arabinose, with and without exposure to the fluoroquinolone antibiotic levofloxacin, at two temperatures: 28 °C, optimal for biofilm development, and 37 °C, representative of human physiological conditions. L-arabinose increased the growth rate of planktonic E. coli but resulted in less total planktonic growth overall; L-arabinose addition also enhanced biofilm growth at 37 °C. L-arabinose reduced the efficacy of the fluoroquinolone levofloxacin and promoted growth in sub-minimum inhibitory concentrations of the antibiotic. We conducted transcriptomic analyses at both temperatures to gain insight into the molecular basis of arabinose-mediated reduced susceptibility of E. coli to levofloxacin. We found that L-arabinose had a temperature- and state-dependent impact on the transcriptome. Using gene ontology overrepresentation analyses, we found that L-arabinose modulated the expression of many critical antibiotic resistance genes, including efflux pumps, transporters, and biofilm-related genes for external structures like pili and curli. This study demonstrates a previously uncharacterized role for L-arabinose in modulating antibiotic resistance and biofilm-associated gene expression in E. coli and provides a foundation for additional exploration of sugar-mediated antibiotic sensitivity in bacterial biofilms.

Project description:Drug resistance and tolerance eliminate the therapeutic potential of antibiotics against pathogens. Antibiotic tolerance by bacterial biofilms often leads to persistent infections, but its mechanisms are unclear. To uncover antibiotic tolerance mechanisms in biofilms, we applied stable isotope labeling with amino acids (SILAC) proteomics to selectively label and compare proteomes of sensitive and tolerant subpopulations of biofilms formed by Pseudomonas aeruginosa towards colistin, a 'last-resort' antibiotic against multidrug-resistant Gram-negative pathogens. Migration was essential in forming colistin-tolerant biofilm subpopulations, as colistin-tolerant cell-aggregates migrated with type IV pili, onto the top of killed biofilm. The colistin-tolerant cell-aggregates employed quorum sensing (QS) to initiate the formation of fresh colistin-tolerant subpopulations, highlighting multicellular behavior in antibiotic tolerance development. Erythromycin treatment which inhibits motility and QS, boosted biofilm eradication by colistin. This novel ‘-omics’ strategy to study antibiotic tolerant cells provides key insights for designing novel treatments against infections unsuppressed by conventional antimicrobials.

Project description:Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) strains are important human pathogens and a significant health hazard for hospitals and the food industry. They are resistant to β-lactam antibiotics including methicillin and extremely difficult to treat. In this study, we show that the Staphylococcus aureus COL (MRSA) strain, with a known complete genome, can easily survive and grow under acidic and alkaline conditions (pH 5 and pH9, respectively), both planktonically and as a biofilm. Α microarray-based analysis of both planktonic and biofilm cells was performed under acidic and alkaline conditions showing that several genes are up- or down-regulated under different environmental conditions and growth modes. These genes were coding for transcription regulators, ion transporters, cell wall biosynthetic enzymes, autolytic enzymes, adhesion proteins and antibiotic resistance factors, most of which are associated with biofilm formation. These results will facilitate a better understanding of the physiological adjustments occurring in biofilm-associated S. aureus COL cells growing in acidic or alkaline environments, which will enable the development of new efficient treatment or disinfection strategies. We used microarrays to detail the global programme of gene expression underlying growth of S. aureus COL growing under acidic and alkaline conditions in biofilm or planktonic mode and identified distinct classes of up-regulated genes during this process.

Project description:Non-typeable Haemophilus influenzae (NTHi) is a common acute otitis media pathogen, with an incidence that is increased by previous antibiotic treatment. NTHi is also an emerging causative agent of other chronic infections in humans, some linked to morbidity, and all of which impose substantial treatment costs. In this study we explore the possibility that antibiotic exposure may stimulate biofilm formation by NTHi bacteria. We discovered that sub-inhibitory concentrations of beta-lactam antibiotic (i.e., amounts that partially inhibit bacterial growth) stimulated the biofilm-forming ability of NTHi strains, an effect that was strain and antibiotic dependent. When exposed to sub-inhibitory concentrations of beta-lactam antibiotics NTHi strains produced tightly packed biofilms with decreased numbers of culturable bacteria but increased biomass. The ratio of protein per unit weight of biofilm decreased as a result of antibiotic exposure. Antibiotic-stimulated biofilms had altered ultrastructure, and genes involved in glycogen production and transporter function were up regulated in response to antibiotic exposure. Down-regulated genes were linked to multiple metabolic processes but not those involved in stress response. Antibiotic-stimulated biofilm bacteria were more resistant to a lethal dose (10M-BM-5g/mL) of cefuroxime. Our results suggest that beta-lactam antibiotic exposure may act as a signaling molecule that promotes transformation into the biofilm phenotype. Loss of viable bacteria, increase in biofilm biomass and decreased protein production coupled with a concomitant up-regulation of genes involved with glycogen production might result in a biofilm of sessile, metabolically inactive bacteria sustained by stored glycogen. These biofilms may protect surviving bacteria from subsequent antibiotic challenges, and act as a reservoir of viable bacteria once antibiotic exposure has ended. 12 samples

Project description:A short-term microcosm experiment was conducted to evaluate the impact of wastewater discharge on coastal microbial communities. Coastal seawater was exposed to two types of treated wastewater: (i) unfiltered wastewater, containing nutrients, pollutants, and allochthonous microbes, and (ii) filtered wastewater, which retained only nutrients and pollutants while removing microbial components. Metaproteomic samples were collected from the coastal seawater prior to the experiment and from each experimental flask at the late exponential growth phase to assess microbial functional responses to wastewater exposure.

Project description:Incomplete antibiotic removal in pharmaceutical wastewater treatment plants (PWWTPs) could lead to the development and spread of antibiotic-resistant bacteria (ARBs) and genes (ARGs) in the environment, posing a growing public health threat. In this study, two multiantibiotic-resistant bacteria, Ochrobactrum intermedium (N1) and Stenotrophomonas acidaminiphila (N2), were isolated from the sludge of a PWWTP in Guangzhou, China. The N1 strain was highly resistant to ampicillin, cefazolin, chloramphenicol, tetracycline, and norfloxacin, while the N2 strain exhibited high resistance to ampicillin, chloramphenicol, and cefazolin. Whole-genome sequencing revealed that N1 and N2 had genome sizes of 0.52 Mb and 0.37 Mb, respectively, and harbored 33 and 24 ARGs, respectively. The main resistance mechanism in the identified ARGs included efflux pumps, enzymatic degradation, and target bypass, with the N1 strain possessing more multidrug-resistant efflux pumps than the N2 strain (22 vs 12). This also accounts for the broader resistance spectrum of N1 than of N2 in antimicrobial susceptibility tests. Additionally, both genomes contain numerous mobile genetic elements (89 and 21 genes, respectively) and virulence factors (276 and 250 factors, respectively), suggesting their potential for horizontal transfer and pathogenicity. Overall, this research provides insights into the potential risks posed by ARBs in pharmaceutical wastewater and emphasizes the need for further studies on their impact and mitigation strategies.
