Project description:Cefiderocol (CFDC) is a novel chlorocatechol-substituted siderophore approved to treat complicated urinary tract infections and for hospital-acquired and ventilator-acquired pneumonia. In previous work, human fluids, were shown to increase the minimum inhibitory concentration (MICs) of Acinetobacter baumannii against CFDC and reduce the expression of genes related to iron uptake systems, which could explain the need for higher concentrations of CFDC to exert inhibitory action. Herein, we analyzed the impact of human urine (HU), which contains low albumin concentrations, on the expression of iron-uptake related genes and MIC values of two carbapenem-resistant A. baumannii. Levels of resistance to CFDC were not modified by HU in strain AMA40 but were reduced in the case of strain AB5075. Testing other carbapenem-resistant A. baumannii isolates showed that the CFDC MICs were unmodified or reduced in the presence of HU. The expression of piuA, pirA, bauA, and bfnH determined by qRT-PCR was enhanced in both strains when HU was present in the culture medium. All four tested genes are involved in recognizing ferric siderophore complexes or internalization into the cell’s cytosol. In contrast, the effect of HU on genes associated with resistance to β-lactams, antibiotics commonly used to treat urinary tract infections caused by A. baumannii, was variable; the transcriptional analysis of pbp1, pbp3, blaOXA-51-like, blaADC, and blaNDM-1 showed significant variation. In summary, HU, probably due to the albumin and free iron content, does not adversely impact or slightly improves the activity of CFDC when tested against A. baumannii in urine in contrast to other human bodily fluids.

Project description:Objectives: Carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAB) are one of the most difficult pathogen to treat. The only drug recently approved by the FDA that is active against CRAB is cefiderocol. However, recent studies have shown higher all-cause mortality rate in the group of patients treated with cefiderocol, that may be due to heteroresistance, a phenotype characterized by the survival of a small proportion of cells in a population seemingly isogenic. Previous studies showed that adding human fluids to CRAB cultures can lead to CFDC heteroresistance. To better understand the nature of this phenomenon, we carried out molecular and phenotypic analyses of CRAB heteroresistant bacterial subpopulations. Methods: The CRAB strain AMA40 was cultured in the presence of cefiderocol and human pleural fluid (HPF) to isolate heteroresistant variants. Two of them, AMA40 IHC_1 and IHC_2, were subjected to whole genome sequencing and transcriptomic analysis to identify the mutations and transcriptomic changes responsible for the development of cefiderocol resistance. The impact of mutations on the pharmacodynamic activity of cefiderocol was assessed by susceptibility testing, EDTA and Boronic acid inhibition analysis, biofilm formation, and static time-kill assays. Results: Variants AMA40 IHC_1 and IHC_2 had 53 mutations, forty of which were common to both heteroresistant strains. None of the mutations are located inside genes associated with iron-uptake systems or β-lactam resistance. However, pipA, a gene associated with iron homeostasis in other species, was mutated in heteroresistant strains. Transcriptomic analyses revealed modifications in levels of expression of genes associated with antibiotic resistance. The blaNDM-1, blaADC-2, pbp3, and pbp1 were expressed at higher levels. At the same time, the carO and ompA genes’ expression was reduced. Collateral resistance to amikacin was observed in the heteroresistant variants. Static time-kill assays showed that when CA-MHB was supplemented with human serum albumin, the main protein component of HPF, cefiderocol killing activity was considerably reduced in all three strains. Conclusions: We conclude that heteroresistance to cefiderocol in CRAB, when exposed to fluids containing high HSA, is caused by mutations and modifications in the expression of genes associated with resistance to β-lactams.

Project description:Cefiderocol (CFDC) is a novel chlorocatechol-substituted siderophore antibiotic approved to treat complicated urinary tract infections (cUTI) and hospital-acquired and ventilator-acquired pneumonia (HAP/VAP). Previous work determined that albumin-rich human fluids increase the minimum inhibitory concentration (MICs) of Acinetobacter baumannii against CFDC and reduce the expression of genes related to iron uptake systems. This latter effect may contribute to the need for higher concentrations of CFDC to inhibit growth. The presence of human urine (HU), which contains low albumin concentrations, did not modify MIC values of two carbapenem-resistant A. baumannii. Levels of resistance to CFDC were not modified by HU in strain AMA40 but were reduced in strain AB5075. Expanding the studies to other carbapenem-resistant A. baumannii isolates showed that the presence of HU resulted in unmodified or reduced MIC of CDFC values. The expression of piuA, pirA, bauA, and bfnH determined by qRT-PCR was enhanced in A. baumannii AMA40 and AB5075 by the presence of HU in the culture medium. All four tested genes code for functions related to recognition and transport of ferric-siderophore complexes. The effect of HU on expression of pbp1, pbp3, blaOXA-51-like, blaADC, and blaNDM-1, genes associated with resistance to β-lactams, as well as genes coding for efflux pumps and porins was variable, showing dependence with the strain analyzed. We conclude that the lack of significant concentrations of albumin and free iron in HU makes this fluid behave differently from others we tested. Unlike other albumin rich fluids, the presence of HU does not impact the antibacterial activity of CFDC when tested against A. baumannii.

Project description:A major reservoir for spread of the emerging pathogen Acinetobacter baumannii is hopsital surfaces, where bacteria persist in a desiccated state. To identify gene products influencing desiccation survival, a transposon sequencing (Tn-seq) screen was performed. Using this approach, we identified genes both positively and negatively impacting the desiccation tolerance of A. baumannii.

Project description:Desiccation tolerance has been implicated as an important characteristic that potentiates the spread of the bacterial pathogen Acinetobacter baumannii through hospitals on dry surfaces. Despite the potential importance of this stress response, scarce information is available describing the underlying mechanisms of A. baumannii desiccation tolerance. Here we characterize the factors influencing desiccation survival of A. baumannii. At the macroscale level, we find that desiccation tolerance is influenced by cell density, growth phase, and desiccation medium. Our transcriptome analysis indicates that desiccation represents a unique state for A. baumannii compared to commonly studied growth conditions and strongly influences pathways responsible for proteostasis. Remarkably, we find that an increase in total cellular protein aggregates, which is often considered deleterious, correlates positively with the ability of A. baumannii to survive desiccation. We show that artificially inducing protein aggregate formation increases desiccation survival, and more importantly, that proteins incorporated into cellular aggregates can retain activity. Our results suggest that protein aggregates may promote desiccation tolerance in A. baumannii through preserving and protecting proteins from damage during desiccation until rehydration occurs.

Project description:The goal of this RNA-Seq study was to determine Acinetobacter baumannii's transcriptiional response to sub-MIC concentrations of benzalkonium chloride in Acinetobacter baumannii. This RNA-seq data was then utilized to aide in the determination of the sub-MIC mechanism of action for benzalkonium chloride.
