Project description:The Sfh protein is encoded by self-transmissible plasmids involved in human typhoid and is closely related to the global regulator H-NS. We have found that Sfh provides a stealth function that allows the plasmids to be transmitted to new bacterial hosts with minimal effects on their fitness. Introducing the plasmid without the sfh gene imposes a mild H-NS- phenotype and a severe loss of fitness due to titration of the cellular pool of H-NS by the A+T-rich plasmid. This stealth strategy seems to be used widely to aid horizontal DNA transmission and has important implications for bacterial evolution.

Project description:Unknown are the mechanisms of tolerance and persistence associated to several compounds in A.baumannii clinical isolates. Using transcriptomical and microbiological studies, we found a link between bacterial tolerance mechanisms to clorhexidine as well as the development of persistence in presence of imipenem in an A.baumannii strain belonging to ST-2 clinical clone (carbapenem-resistant with OXA-24 ß-lactamase and AbkAB TA system by plasmid). Interestingly, in A.baumannii ATCC17978 strain (carbapenem-susceptible isolate which carries AbkAB TA system by plasmid) showed persistence in presence of imipenem.

Project description:Plasmid maintenance costs to bacterial hosts is closely linked to the mechanisms that underlie plasmid fitness and how these costs are resolved. Herein, we performed multiple (63) serial passage to explore the compensatory mechanisms of co-evolution of multidrug-resistant IncHI2 plasmid pJXP9 and S. Typhimurium strain ATCC 14028 with or without antibiotic selection. pJXP9 could be maintained at for hundreds of generations even without drug exposure. Decreased lag times and higher competitive advantages were observed in end-point evolved strains bearing pJXP9 compared to ancestral strains. Genomic and transcriptomic analyses revealed that the fitness costs of pJXP9 in ATCC 14028 were derived from not only specific plasmid genes, particularly the multidrug-resistant region and conjugation transfer region I, but also the conflicts resulting from chromosomal gene interactions. Correspondingly, plasmid-borne deletions of these regions could compensate the fitness cost due to the presence of the plasmid. Furthermore, mutations and mRNA alterations in chromosomal genes involved in physiological functions were also adaptative. These functions included decreased flagellar motility, oxidative stress resistance and fumaric acid synthesis, and increased Cu resistance. Our findings suggest that plasmid maintenance through plasmid-bacteria co-evolution is a trade-off between increasing plasmid vertical transmission and impairing its horizontal transmission and bacterial physiological phenotypes.

Project description:Plasmids are extrachromosomal genetic elements commonly found in bacteria. Plasmids are known to fuel bacterial evolution through horizontal gene transfer (HGT), but recent analyses indicate that they can also promote intragenomic adaptations. However, the role of plasmids as catalysts of bacterial evolution beyond HGT remains poorly explored. In this study, we investigate the impact of a widespread conjugative plasmid, pOXA-48, on the evolution of various multidrug-resistant clinical enterobacteria. Combining experimental and within-patient evolution analyses, we unveil that plasmid pOXA-48 promotes bacterial evolution through the transposition of plasmid-encoded IS1 elements. Specifically, IS1-mediated gene inactivations expedite the adaptation rate of clinical strains in vitro and foster within-patient adaptation in the gut. We decipher the mechanism underlying the plasmid-mediated surge in IS1 transposition, revealing a negative feedback loop regulated by the genomic copy number of IS1. Given the overrepresentation of IS elements in bacterial plasmids, our findings propose that plasmid-mediated IS transposition represents a crucial mechanism for swift bacterial adaptation.

Project description:Biofilm formation is an important mechanism of survival and persistence for many bacterial pathogens. These multicellular communities contain subpopulations of cells that display vast metabolic and transcriptional diversity along with high recalcitrance to antibiotics and host immune defenses. Investigating the complex heterogeneity within biofilm has been hindered by the lack of a sensitive and high-throughput method to assess stochastic transcriptional activity and regulation between bacterial subpopulations, which requires single-cell resolution. We have developed an optimized bacterial single-cell RNA sequencing method, BaSSSh-seq, to study Staphylococcus aureus diversity during biofilm growth and transcriptional adaptations following immune cell exposure.

Project description:Plasmid fitness is directed by two orthogonal processes—vertical transfer through cell division and horizontal transfer through conjugation. When considered individually, improvements in either mode of transfer can promote how well a plasmid spreads and persists. Together, however, the metabolic cost of conjugation could create a tradeoff that constrains plasmid evolution. Here we present evidence for the presence, consequences, and molecular basis of a conjugation-growth tradeoff across 40 plasmids derived from clinical E. coli pathogens. We discover that most plasmids operate below a conjugation efficiency threshold for major growth effects, indicating strong natural selection for vertical transfer. Below this threshold, E. coli demonstrates a remarkable growth tolerance to over four orders of magnitude change in conjugation efficiency. This tolerance fades as nutrients become scarce and horizontal transfer attracts a greater share of host resources. Our results provide insight into evolutionary constraints directing plasmid fitness and strategies to combat the spread of antibiotic resistance.

Project description:Biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs) encoding the production of bacteriocins are widespread amongst bacterial isolates and are important genetic determinants of competitive fitness among bacterial lineages within a given habitat. Staphylococci produce a tremendous diversity of compounds and the corresponding gene clusters (Staphylococcal Antibiosis Islands - SAbIs) are frequently associated with mobile genetic elements, suggesting acquisition and loss of biosynthetic capacity. Pharmaceutical biology has shown that compound production in heterologous hosts is often challenged by the lack of optimal precursor supplies. Accordingly, many recipients produce low compound amounts or show reduced growth rates. To assess whether transfer of SAbIs between closely related S. aureus strains has similar effects, we used as model the SAbI encoding the ribosomally synthesized and post-translationally modified peptide (RiPP) Micrococcin P1 (MP1). We found that acquisition of the SAbI by S. aureus RN4220 did allow immediate MP1 production but also imposed a metabolic burden. Adaptive evolution selected for strains with increased TCA-cycle activity, which enhanced metabolic fitness and levels of compound production. Metabolome analysis showed that the adaptive mutation increased the levels of central metabolites including citrate and α-ketoglutarate, and the increased availability of citrate turned out to be essential to overcome SAbI associated growth defects. Our results indicate that acquisition of SAbIs represents a blessing for the recipient strain as long as its genetic and metabolic predispositions allow integration of bacteriocin production into the cellular metabolism. This in turn may be crucial to ensure the competitive fitness of SAbI recipients within natural bacterial communities.

Project description:As part of a broader study to identify genes that contribute to fitness of the human pathobiont Streptococcus agalacitae (group B Streptococcus), we identified a GntR-class transcription factor, named mrvR, which contributes to bacterial persistence in human amniotic fluid and multipe virulence phenotypes. In order to understand the transcriptome of mrvR, whole-genome transcriptomic analysis was performed with wild type group B Streptococcus and an mrvR deletion mutant at three growth phases.

Project description:The diverse bacterial communities that colonize the gastrointestinal tract play an essential role in maintaining immune homeostasis through the production of critical metabolites such as short chain fatty acids (SCFA), and this can be disrupted by antibiotic use. However, few studies have addressed the effects of specific antibiotics longitudinally on the microbiome and immunity. We evaluated the effects of four specific antibiotics; enrofloxacin, cephalexin, paromomycin, and clindamycin; in healthy female rhesus macaques. All antibiotics disrupted the microbiome, including reduced abundances of fermentative bacteria and increased abundances of potentially pathogenic bacteria, including Enterobacteriaceae in stool, and decreased Helicobacteraceae in the colon. This was associated with decreased SCFAs, indicating altered bacterial metabolism. Importantly, antibiotic use also substantially altered local immune responses, including increased neutrophils and Th17 cells in the colon. Furthermore, we observed increased soluble-CD14 in plasma, indicating microbial translocation. These data provide a longitudinal evaluation of antibiotic-induced changes to the composition and function of colonic bacterial communities, associated with specific alterations in mucosal and systemic immunity.
