Project description:The epidemic character of community-associated methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (CA-MRSA), especially the geographically widespread clone USA300, is poorly understood. USA300 isolates carry a type IV staphylococcal chromosomal cassette mec (SCCmec) element conferring -lactam antibiotic class resistance and a putative pathogenicity island, ACME (arginine catabolic mobile element). Physical linkage between SCCmec and ACME suggests that selection for antibiotic resistance and for pathogenicity may be interconnected. We constructed isogenic mutants containing deletions of SCCmec and ACME in a USA300 clinical isolate to determine the role of these elements in a rabbit model of bacteremia. We found that deletion of type IV SCCmec did not affect competitive fitness, whereas deletion of ACME significantly attenuated pathogenicity or fitness of USA300. These data are consistent with a model in which ACME enhances growth and survival of USA300, allowing for genetic "hitchhiking" of SCCmec. SCCmec in turn protects against exposure to β -lactams.

Project description:Using Nanopore sequencing, our study has revealed a close correlation between genomic methylation levels and antibiotic resistance rates in Acinetobacter Baumannii. Specifically, the combined genome-wide DNA methylome and transcriptome analysis revealed the first epigenetic-based antibiotic-resistance mechanism in A. baumannii. Our findings suggest that the precise location of methylation sites along the chromosome could provide new diagnostic markers and drug targets to improve the management of multidrug-resistant A. baumannii infections.

Project description:We used a DNA microarray chip covering 369 resistance types to investigate the relation of antibiotic resistance gene diversity with humans’ age. Metagenomic DNA from fecal samples of 123 healthy volunteers of four different age groups, i.e. pre-school Children (CH), School Children (SC), High School Students (HSS) and Adults (AD) were used for hybridization. The results showed that 80 different gene types were recovered from the 123 individuals gut microbiota, among which 25 were present in CH, 37 in SC, 58 in HSS and 72 in AD. Further analysis indicated that antibiotic resistance genes in groups of CH, SC and AD can be independently clustered, and those ones in group HSS are more divergent. The detailed analysis of antibiotic resistance genes in human gut is further described in the paper DNA microarray analysis reveals the antibiotic resistance gene diversity in human gut microbiota is age-related submitted to Sentific Reports

Project description:In a given bacterial population, antibiotic treatment kills a large portion of the population, while a small, tolerant subpopulation survives. Tolerant cells disrupt the efficacy of antibiotic treatment and increase the likelihood that a population gains antibiotic resistance. Antibiotic tolerance is different from resistance because tolerant cells cannot grow and replicate in the presence of the antibiotic, but when the antibiotic is removed, they begin to propagate. When a population becomes resistant, the antibiotic becomes ineffective, which is a major health concern. Since antibiotic tolerance often leads to antibiotic resistance, we have taken a systems biology approach to examine how regulatory networks respond to antibiotic stress so that cells can survive and recover after antibiotic treatment. We have compared gene expression with and without ampicillin in E. coli.

Project description:Cationic antimicrobial peptides (CAPs) are promising novel alternatives to conventional antibacterial agents, but the overlap in resistance mechanisms between small-molecule antibiotics and CAPs is unknown. Does evolution of antibiotic resistance decrease (cross-resistance) or increase (collateral sensitivity) susceptibility to CAPs? We systematically addressed this issue by studying the susceptibilities of a comprehensive set of antibiotic resistant Escherichia coli strains towards 24 antimicrobial peptides. Strikingly, antibiotic resistant bacteria frequently showed collateral sensitivity to CAPs, while cross-resistance was relatively rare. We identified clinically relevant multidrug resistance mutations that simultaneously elevate susceptibility to certain CAPs. Transcriptome and chemogenomic analysis revealed that such mutations frequently alter the lipopolysaccharide composition of the outer cell membrane and thereby increase the killing efficiency of membrane-interacting antimicrobial peptides. Furthermore, we identified CAP-antibiotic combinations that rescue the activity of existing antibiotics and slow down the evolution of resistance to antibiotics. Our work provides a proof of principle for the development of peptide based antibiotic adjuvants that enhance antibiotic action and block evolution of resistance.

Project description:Novel therapeutic approaches for addressing pneumonia caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae, which exhibit resistance to standard-of-care antibiotics are greatly needed. One viable approach involves precisely stimulating innate immune defenses within the lungs. Using murine models of pneumococcal pneumonia, prior studies demonstrated that intranasal administration of the Toll-like receptor 5 agonist, flagellin, results in a 100-fold decrease in lung infection compared to sole antibiotic therapy, when used as an adjunct treatment to the antibiotic. To promote the transfer of this immunotherapy to clinics and mitigate unwanted systemic inflammation, this project assessed whether the direct delivery of flagellin to the airways through nebulization stimulates respiratory defenses against bacterial infection. Similarly to intranasal administration, nebulized flagellin induced a transient activation of lung innate immunity. In contrast, inhalation by nebulization resulted in an attenuated activation of systemic immune responses. We conclude that flagellin aerosol therapy represents a secure and promising approach in addressing bacterial pneumonia within the context of antimicrobial resistance.
