Project description:Recent whole-genome sequencing of large populations of the same bacterial species has revealed significant disparity among genes in the frequency of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). For example, a previous analysis of invasive serotype M3 group A streptococci (GAS) found the highest frequency of SNPs in the gene (ropB) encoding the regulator of proteinase B (RopB). This finding led us to hypothesize that RopB polymorphisms contribute to altered GAS host-pathogen interactions. Sequencing of ropB in 171 invasive serotype M3 GAS strains from a surveillance study identified 19 distinct ropB alleles. Inactivation of the ropB gene in strains producing distinct RopB variants had dramatically different effects on GAS global gene expression. Further, analysis of laboratory-generated isoallelic GAS strains differing only by a single amino acid replacement in RopB confirmed that the variant protein affected the transcript level of the gene encoding streptococcal proteinase B, a major RopB-regulated virulence factor. Comparison of parental, RopB-inactivated, and RopB isoallelic strains in mouse infection models demonstrated that RopB polymorphisms significantly influence GAS virulence and disease manifestations. These studies detail a paradigm in which unbiased, whole-genome sequence analysis of populations of clinical bacterial isolates creates new avenues of productive investigation into the pathogenesis of common human infections.

These studies detail a paradigm in which unbiased, whole-genome sequence analysis of populations of clinical bacterial isolates creates new avenues of productive investigation into the pathogenesis of common human infections. This study examined the effects of RopB inactivaiton on two distinct serotype M3 group A streptococcal strains with distinct forms of the RopB protein. RopB was inactivated in a strain with a wild-type RopB allele (strain MGAS10870) and in a strain with a RopB allele containing a C85Y polymorphism (strain MGAS9937). The wild-type and RopB inactivated strains were grown in duplicate to the early stationary growth phase in standard laboratory medium (THY). Total RNA was isolated, converted to cDNA, and hybridized to a custom-made Affymetrix GeneChip.

Project description:Current diagnostic methods used to evaluate patients with pharyngitis for the presence of group A Streptococcus (GAS) do not discriminate between acute infection and asymptomatic carriage, potentially resulting in overuse of antibiotics. Host response as measured by the transcriptomic profile of peripheral blood leukocytes could make this distinction, and could also distinguish between GAS and viral infection. We used RNA sequencing to generate transcriptomes from whole blood samples from 37 children, including 10 with acute GAS pharyngitis, 5 asymptomatic GAS carriers, 3 with adenoviral pharyngitis, 3 with pharyngitis of unknown etiology, and 16 asymptomatic children negative for GAS. Transcriptional profiles from each group were distinct . 1357 genes were upregulated in the children with symptomatic GAS compared to those with asymptomatic carriage. A panel of 13 genes distinguished between children with acute GAS and all others with 91% accuracy. The gene encoding CD177, a marker of neutrophil activation, was markedly overexpressed in children with acute GAS and has potential as a diagnostic biomarker. We conclude that measurement of host response is highly promising to improve the diagnosis of GAS pharyngitis and could help limit unnecessary antibiotic use.

Project description:Streptococcus pyogenes (Group A Strep, GAS) is a serious human pathogen with the ability to colonize mucosal surfaces such as the nasopharynx and vaginal tract, often leading to infections such as pharyngitis and vulvovaginitis. We present genome-wide RNASeq data showing the transcriptomic changes GAS undergoes during vaginal colonization. These data reveal that the regulon controlled by MtsR, a master metal regulator, is activated during vaginal colonization. This regulon includes two genes highly expressed during vaginal colonization, hupYZ. Here we show that HupY binds heme in vitro, affects intracellular concentrations of iron, and is essential for proper growth of GAS using hemoglobin or serum as the sole iron source. HupY is also important for murine vaginal colonization of both GAS and the related vaginal colonizer and pathogen, Streptococcus agalactiae (Group B Strep, GBS). These data provide essential information on the link between metal regulation and mucosal colonization in both GAS and GBS.

Project description:Streptococcus pyogenes (group A Streptococcus, GAS) responds to environmental changes in a manner that results in an adaptive regulation of the transcriptome. Global transcriptional regulators are able to integrate important extracellular and intracellular information and are responsible for modulation of the transcriptional network. The roles of several global transcriptional regulators in adaptation and virulence gene expression have been described. In this study we used microarray to investigate the regulatory roles of CodY and CovRS played in Streptococcus pyogenes. keywords: genetic modification Streptococcus pyogenes NZ131 wild-type cells, ΔcodY, ΔcovRS and ΔcodYcovRS strains were grown in C-medium until mid-exponential phase or early-stationary phase. The transcriptional profile of the whole genome was examined with microarray.

Project description:Background: Streptococcus dysgalactiae subsp. equisimilis (SDSE), similar to Lancefield group A Streptococcus pyogenes (GAS), causes invasive diseases such as life-threatening streptococcal toxic shock syndrome (STSS). Despite their similar genome sequences, SDSE lacks several important virulence factors of GAS, suggesting that SDSE has specific disease-causing systems. Using microarray analysis, we analyzed SDSE for specific transcriptional regulatory systems involved in stress responses, such as the LytSR/LrgAB system, and their transcriptional profiles under stress conditions. Methods: Transcriptional profiling was performed using microarrays to test the effects of eight antibiotics and five growth conditions. These findings were compared with those obtained during intraperitoneal infection in mice. Results: Genes encoding LrgAB, which modulates the murein hydrolase activity of CidAB and inhibits autolysis in Staphylococcus aureus, were upregulated by exposure to antibacterial agents, phosphate buffered saline (PBS) and stationary phase conditions and during intraperitoneal infection in mice. Starvation and anaerobic conditions stimulated the expression of the streptolysin S operon and polysaccharide lyases in SDSE. Catabolite-responsive elements (cre) were present in the promoter regions of these genes, suggesting that carbon catabolite repression (CCR) is involved in regulating SDSE virulence factors. Comparative genome analysis showed the presence in SDSE of the LytSR/LrgAB system and an additional sigma factor (SDEG_0623), both of which were absent from the GAS genome. Conclusions: These results suggest that the LytSR/LrgAB and CCR play important roles in bacterial resistance to stress microenvironments. Microarray data also indicated that starvation and low oxygen tension partly mimic the microenvironment present during invasive diseases.

Project description:Clonal emergence is a major driver for changes in bacterial disease epidemiology. Recently, it has been proposed that episodic emergence of novel, hypervirulent clones of group A Streptococcus (GAS) results from horizontal gene transfer (HGT) and recombination events leading to increased expression of the cytotoxins Nga (NADase) and SLO (streptolysin O). We previously described a gene fusion event involving the gene encoding the GAS M protein (emm) and an adjacent M-like protein (enn) in the emm4 GAS population, a GAS emm type that lacks the hyaluronic acid capsule. Using whole genome sequencing of a temporally and geographically diverse set of 1,127 isolates, we discovered that the North American emm4 GAS population has undergone clonal replacement with emergent GAS strains completely replacing historical isolates by 2017. Emergent emm4 GAS strains were defined by a handful of small genetic variations, including the emm-enn gene fusion, and showed a marked in vitro growth defect compared to historical strains. In contrast to other previously described GAS clonal emergence events, emergent emm4 GAS lacked significant HGT events and showed no significant increase in transcript levels of nga/slo toxin gene via RNA sequencing and quantitative real-time PCR analysis relative to historic strains. Despite the in vitro growth differences, emergent emm4 GAS strains demonstrated hypervirulence in mouse and ex vivo growth in human blood compared to historical strains. Thus, these data detail the emergence and dissemination of a hypervirulent acapsular GAS clone defined by small genetic variation thereby defining a novel model for GAS strain replacement.

Project description:A new variant of group A Streptococcus (GAS) serotype M1 (designated ‘M1UK’) has been reported in the United Kingdom, linked with seasonal scarlet fever surges, marked increase in invasive infections, and exhibiting enhanced expression of the superantigen SpeA. The progenitor GAS ‘M1global’ and M1UK clones can be differentiated by 27 SNPs and 4 indels, yet the mechanism for speA upregulation is unknown. Here we investigate the previously unappreciated expansion of M1UK in Australia, now isolated from the majority of serious infections caused by serotype M1 GAS. M1UK sub-lineages circulating in Australia also contain a novel toxin repertoire associated with epidemic scarlet fever causing GAS in Asia. A single SNP in the M1UK tmRNA gene ssrA drives enhanced SpeA superantigen expression as a result of ssrA terminator readthrough in the M1UK lineage. This represents a new paradigm of toxin expression and urges enhanced international surveillance.
