Project description:Staphylococcus aureus can infect a wide range of animals and pose as a serious threat to public health by transferring via animals or animal-derived food stuff. Even more importantly, multiple drug resistance development in the bacteria has resulted in therapeutic failure of a number of antibiotics. Therefore by realizing the need of time, this study was designed to investigate the underlying mechanisms of virulence and resistance in S. aureus. After screening through in vivo and in vitro virulence assays and susceptibility test, a highly virulent and multidrug resistant MRSA strain was selected for differential analysis by RNA-seq technology and gene expression results were verified by RT-qPCR. Up-regulation of crucial regulators like sarA and KdpDE seemed to play role in decreased expression of many exotoxin genes while enhanced the adhesion and cell wall protein expression, leading to strong biofilm production in the presence of inactivated agr system. In addition to resistance genes like blaZ, ermC and femA, up-regulation of vraS and multidrug ABC transporter genes contributed to the multidrug resistance in MRSA. Fluoroquinolone resistance was attributed to mutational changes in gyrA and parC genes. Our findings suggested that many virulence and resistance determinants in S. aureus are controlled by complex network of various regulators, and sarA is the most important of those as it adds to pathogenicity of the bacteria and ensures its survival in diverse environment. Further investigations are required to unveil these mechanisms in S. aureus. Four samples were analysed including 2 MRSA1679a test strain and 2 reference strain ATCC1 samples with two replicates of each.

Project description:The rise of antibiotic resistance in many bacterial pathogens has been driven by the spread of a few successful strains, suggesting that some bacteria are genetically pre-disposed to evolving resistance. We tested this hypothesis by challenging a diverse set of 222 strains of Staphylococcus aureus with the antibiotic ciprofloxacin in a large-scale evolution experiment. Surprisingly, we found that a single efflux pump, norA, causes widespread variation in evolvability across the diversity of S. aureus. In most lineages of S. aureus, elevated norA expression potentiated evolution by increasing the fitness benefit provided by resistance mutations in DNA topoisomerase under ciprofloxacin treatment. Amplification of norA provided a further mechanism of rapid evolution, but this was restricted to strains from CC398. Crucially, chemically inhibiting NorA effectively prevented the evolution of resistance across the diversity of S. aureus. Our study shows that the underlying genetic diversity of pathogenic bacteria plays a key role in shaping resistance evolution. Understanding this link makes it possible to predict which strains are likely to evolve resistance and to optimize inhibitor use to prevent this outcome.

Project description:Drug discovery for novel anti-infectives is essential to meet the global health threat of antibiotic resistant bacterial infections, including those caused by Staphylococcus aureus1,2. Because ~90% of S. aureus infections involve skin and soft tissues (SSTIs)3,4, we hypothesized that developing anti-virulence therapeutics5,6 for SSTIs could minimize pressure on resistance development while sparing conventional antibiotics for control of systemic infections. We identified a small molecule inhibitor that disrupted signaling by a quorum sensing operon, agr, associated with human SSTIs7,8 without affecting agr-independent growth.

Project description:<p>Pathogenic bacteria's metabolic adaptation for survival and proliferation within hosts is a crucial aspect of bacterial pathogenesis. Here, we demonstrate that citrate, the first intermediate of the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle, plays a key role as a regulator of gene expression in Staphylococcus aureus. We show that citrate activates the transcriptional regulator CcpE and thus modulates the expression of numerous genes involved in key cellular pathways such as central carbon metabolism, iron uptake and the synthesis and export of virulence factors. Citrate can also suppress the transcriptional regulatory activity of ferric uptake regulator. Moreover, we determined that accumulated intracellular citrate, partly through the activation of CcpE, decreases the pathogenic potential of S. aureus in animal infection models. Therefore, citrate plays a pivotal role in coordinating carbon metabolism, iron homeostasis and bacterial pathogenicity at the transcriptional level in S. aureus, going beyond its established role as a TCA cycle intermediate.</p>

Project description:Antimicrobial resistance is a global health threat, and alternative therapeutic interventions to replace failing antibiotics are urgently needed. Vaccines are effective tools to combat bacterial infection and mitigate multi-drug resistance, however, the selection of bacterial antigens as vaccine candidates remains challenging. Here we use immunopeptidomics to mine for CD4 T-cell vaccine targets in methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus - a clinically significant, antibiotic-resistant bacterium that is susceptible to T cell meditated control. We identified a novel, highly conserved, immunodominant CD4 T cell epitope in S. aureus that is derived from the core DNA binding protein Hu (Hup). This epitope is shared across a range of clinically relevant bacteria and cross-species reactive Hup specific CD4 T cells are found in both mice and humans. Immunisation with the Hup epitope resulted in the development of broadly protective CD4 T cell immunity capable of limiting disease severity following infection with different bacterial species, including S. aureus and Streptococcus pneumoniae. A vaccine incorporating antigenic targets derived from conserved core genes that are shared across bacterial species, can confer broad spectrum protection against a range of clinically significant bacteria, including antibiotic-resistant strains.

Project description:Staphylococcus aureus is a major human pathogen and resistant to numerous clinically used antibiotics. The first antibiotic developed for S. aureus infections was the nonribosomal petide secondary metabolite penicillin. We discovered cryptic nonribosomal peptide secondary metabolites, the aureusimines, made by S. aureus itself that are not antibiotics, but function as small molecule regulators of virulence factor expression. Using established rules and codes for nonribosomal peptide assembly we predicted these nonribosomal peptides, and used these predictions to identify them from S. aureus culture broths. Functional studies using global microarray and mouse bacteremia models established that the aureusimines control virulence factor expression and are necessary for productive infections. This is the first report of the aureusimines and has important implications for the treatment of drug resistant S. aureus. Targeting aureusimine synthesis may provide novel anti-infectives.

Abstract:
A genome-scale metabolic model of the Gram-positive,
facultative anaerobic opportunistic pathogen Staphylococcus
aureus N315 was constructed based on current genomic data,
literature, and physiological information. The model comprises
774 metabolic processes representing approximately 23% of all
protein-coding regions. The model was extensively validated
against experimental observations and it correctly predicted
main physiological properties of the wild-type strain, such as
aerobic and anaerobic respiration and fermentation. Due to the
frequent involvement of S. aureus in hospital-acquired
bacterial infections combined with its increasing antibiotic
resistance, we also investigated the clinically relevant
phenotype of small colony variants and found that the model
predictions agreed with recent findings of proteome analyses.
This indicates that the model is useful in assisting future
experiments to elucidate the interrelationship of bacterial
metabolism and resistance. To help directing future studies for
novel chemotherapeutic targets, we conducted a large-scale in
silico gene deletion study that identified 158 essential
intracellular reactions. A more detailed analysis showed that
the biosynthesis of glycans and lipids is rather rigid with
respect to circumventing gene deletions, which should make
these areas particularly interesting for antibiotic
development. The combination of this stoichiometric model with
transcriptomic and proteomic data should allow a new quality in
the analysis of clinically relevant organisms and a more
rationalized system-level search for novel drug targets.

Project description:Emerging known and unknown pathogens create profound threats to public health. Platforms for rapid detection and characterization of microbial agents are critically needed to prevent and respond to disease outbreaks. Available detection technologies cannot provide broad functional information about known and novel organisms. As a step toward developing such a system, we have produced and tested a series of high-density functional gene arrays to detect elements of virulence and antibiotic resistance mechanisms. Our first generation array targets genes from Escherichia coli strains K12 and CFT073, Enterococcus faecalis and Staphylococcus aureus. We determined optimal probe design parameters for gene family detection and discrimination. When tested with organisms at varying phylogenetic distances from the four target strains, the array detected orthologs for the majority of targeted gene families present in bacteria belonging to the same taxonomic family. In combination with whole-genome amplification, the array detects femtogram concentrations of purified DNA, either spiked in to an aerosol sample background, or in combinations from one or more of the four target organisms. This is the first report of a high density NimbleGen microarray system targeting microbial antibiotic resistance and virulence mechanisms. By targeting virulence gene families as well as genes unique to specific biothreat agents, these arrays will provide important data about the pathogenic potential and drug resistance profiles of unknown organisms in environmental samples.
