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:Traditional vaccines are difficult to deploy against the diverse antibiotic-resistant, nosocomial pathogens that cause Hospital Acquired Infections (HAIs). We developed a unique, protein-free vaccine to present antibiotic-resistant HAIs. This vaccine protected mice from invasive infections caused by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecalis, multidrug resistant Acinetobacter baumannii, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Rhizopus delemar, and Candida albicans. Protection persisted even in neutropenic mice infected with A. baumannii or R. delemar. Protection was already apparent after 24 hours and lasted for up to 21 days after a single dose, with a second dose restoring efficacy. Protection persisted without lymphocytes but was abrogated with macrophages depletion. This vaccine induced trained immunity by altering the macrophage epigenetic landscape and the inflammatory response to infection.

Project description:Isoprenoids are vital to all organisms in supporting core functions of life, like respiration and membrane stability. IspH, an enzyme in the methyl erythritol phosphate pathway of isoprenoid synthesis, is essential to gram-negative bacteria, mycobacteria and apicomplexans. The IspH substrate, HMBPP, is not produced in humans and other metazoans and activates cytotoxic T-cells in humans and primates at extremely low concentrations. We describe novel IspH inhibitors and through structure-guided analog design, refine their potency to nanomolar levels. We have modified these into prodrugs for delivery into bacteria and report that they kill clinical isolates of several multidrug resistant bacterial species such as Acinetobacter, Pseudomonas, Klebsiella, Enterobacter, Vibrio, Shigella, Salmonella, Yersinia, Mycobacterium and Bacillus, while being relatively non-toxic to mammalian cells. Proteomic analysis reveals that bacteria treated with prodrugs resemble those with conditional IspH knockdown. Notably, these prodrugs also cause expansion and activation of human T-cells in a humanized mouse model of bacterial infection. These IspH prodrugs synergize direct antibiotic killing with a simultaneous rapid immune response by cytotoxic T-cells, thus inhibiting the rise of antibiotic resistant bacterial populations.

Project description:Polymyxins are increasingly used as the critical last-resort therapeutic options for multidrug-resistant gram-negative bacteria. Unfortunately, polymyxin resistance has increased gradually for the last few years. Although studies on mechanisms of polymyxin are expanding, system-wide analyses of the underlying mechanism for polymyxin resistance and stress response are still lacking. To understand how Klebsiella pneumoniae adapt to colistin (polymyxin E) pressure, we carried out proteomic analysis of Klebsiella pneumoniae strain cultured with different concentrations of colistin. Our results showed that the proteomic responses to colistin treatment in Klebsiella pneumoniae involving several pathways, including (i) gluconeogenesis and TCA cycle; (ii) arginine biosynthesis; (iii) porphyrin and chlorophyll metabolism; and (iv) enterobactin biosynthesis. Interestingly, decreased abundance of class A β-lactamases including TEM, SHV-11, SHV-4 were observed in cells treated with colistin. Moreover, we also present comprehensive proteome atlases of paired polymyxin-susceptible and -resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae strains. The polymyxin-resistant strain Ci, a mutant of Klebsiella pneumoniae ATCC BAA 2146, showed missense mutation in crrB. The crrB mutant Ci, which displayed lipid A modification with 4-amino-4-deoxy-L-arabinose (L-Ara4N) and palmitoylation, showed striking increases of CrrAB, PmrAB, PhoPQ, ArnBCADT and PagP. We hypothesize that crrB mutations induce elevated expression of the arnBCADTEF operon and pagP via PmrAB and PhoPQ. Moreover, multidrug efflux pump KexD, which was induced by crrB mutation, also contributed to colistin resistance. Overall, our results demonstrated proteomic responses to colistin treatment and the mechanism of CrrB-mediate colistin resistance, which may further offer valuable information to manage polymyxin resistance.

Project description:The spread of antimicrobial resistance (AMR), coupled with the decline in antibiotic development, has become a major public health concern. Recent studies estimate that around 700,000 people die each year from infections caused by multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria. This led the WHO to publish the ESKAPEE list of high priority pathogens for AMR, namely Enterococcus faecium, Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Acinetobacter baumannii, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Enterobacter spp. and Escherichia coli. Among these, Gram-negative bacteria (K. pneumoniae, A. baumannii, P. aeruginosa, Enterobacter spp., and E. coli) are particularly overrepresented. This is mainly due to their high propensity to develop multiple resistance mechanisms, in addition to their intrinsic resistance to many antimicrobials, which is due to their membrane composition and the expression of broad-spectrum efflux pumps. One strategy to combat such AMR is the use of drug enhancers that are able to restore the antibacterial activity of poorly active antibiotics. In this context, we demonstrated that the polyamino-isoprenyl enhancer, NV716, efficiently potentiates the antibacterial activity of two families of multi-target Ser/Cys-based enzyme inhibitors, namely the oxadiazolone derivatives (OX) and the Cyclipostins and Cyclophostin analogs (CyC), against Enterobacter cloacae, while remaining inactive against other Gram-negative bacteria. We confirmed that NV716 potentiates some OX & CyC compounds by permeabilizing the outer membrane and thus by increasing the inhibitor accumulation as shown by fluorescence confocal microscopy. By using bio-orthogonal click-chemistry activity-based protein profiling (CC-ABPP) approach coupled to proteomic analysis, we also identified the target proteins of the best OX & CyC inhibitors from E. cloacae lysate, thereby confirming their multi-target nature. Interestingly, 6 of the latter proteins were also captured via CC-ABPP in P. aeruginosa lysate, and are highly conserved in all Gram-negative bacteria. These results provide proof of concept that both OX & CyC, if successfully potentiated, could be used against a wide range of ESKAPEE Gram-negative bacteria.
