Deciphering Microbiome, Transcriptome, and Metabolic Interactions in the Presence of Probiotic Lactobacillus acidophilus against Salmonella Typhimurium in a Murine Model. Antibiotics (Basel) 2024; 13:352. [PMID: 38667028 PMCID: PMC11047355 DOI: 10.3390/antibiotics13040352] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/19/2024] [Revised: 04/06/2024] [Accepted: 04/08/2024] [Indexed: 04/29/2024] Open
Abstract
Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium (S. Typhimurium), a foodborne pathogen that poses significant public health risks to humans and animals, presents a formidable challenge due to its antibiotic resistance. This study explores the potential of Lactobacillus acidophilus (L. acidophilus 1.3251) probiotics as an alternative strategy to combat antibiotic resistance associated with S. Typhimurium infection. In this investigation, twenty-four BALB/c mice were assigned to four groups: a non-infected, non-treated group (CNG); an infected, non-treated group (CPG); a group fed with L. acidophilus but not infected (LAG); and a group fed with L. acidophilus and challenged with Salmonella (LAST). The results revealed a reduction in Salmonella levels in the feces of mice, along with restored weight and improved overall health in the LAST compared to the CPG. The feeding of L. acidophilus was found to downregulate pro-inflammatory cytokine mRNA induced by Salmonella while upregulating anti-inflammatory cytokines. Additionally, it influenced the expression of mRNA transcript, encoding tight junction protein, oxidative stress-induced enzymes, and apoptosis-related mRNA expression. Furthermore, the LEfSe analysis demonstrated a significant shift in the abundance of critical commensal genera in the LAST, essential for maintaining gut homeostasis, metabolic reactions, anti-inflammatory responses, and butyrate production. Transcriptomic analysis revealed 2173 upregulated and 506 downregulated differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in the LAST vs. the CPG. Functional analysis of these DEGs highlighted their involvement in immunity, metabolism, and cellular development. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genome (KEGG) pathway analysis indicated their role in tumor necrosis factor (TNF), mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), chemokine, Forkhead box O (FOXO), and transforming growth factor (TGF-β) signaling pathway. Moreover, the fecal metabolomic analysis identified 929 differential metabolites, with enrichment observed in valine, leucine, isoleucine, taurine, glycine, and other metabolites. These findings suggest that supplementation with L. acidophilus promotes the growth of beneficial commensal genera while mitigating Salmonella-induced intestinal disruption by modulating immunity, gut homeostasis, gut barrier integrity, and metabolism.

Polymyxin Resistance in Salmonella: Exploring Mutations and Genetic Determinants of Non-Human Isolates. Antibiotics (Basel) 2024; 13:110. [PMID: 38391496 PMCID: PMC10885896 DOI: 10.3390/antibiotics13020110] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/20/2023] [Revised: 01/19/2024] [Accepted: 01/21/2024] [Indexed: 02/24/2024] Open
Abstract
Until 2015, polymyxin resistance was primarily attributed to chromosomal mutations. However, with the first report of mobile colistin resistance (mcr-1) in commensal Escherichia coli from food animals in China, the landscape has changed. To evaluate the presence of polymyxin resistance in Salmonella spp., a drop screening test for colistin and polymyxin B was carried out on 1156 isolates of non-human origin (animals, food, and the environment), received in Brazil, between 2016 and 2021. Subsequently, 210 isolates with resistant results in the drop test were subjected to the gold-standard test (broth microdilution) for both colistin and polymyxin B. Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) of 102 resistant isolates was performed for a comprehensive analysis of associated genes. Surprisingly, none of the isolates resistant to colistin in the drop test harbored any of the mcr variants (mcr-1 to mcr-10). WGS identified that the most common mutations were found in pmrA (n= 22; T89S) and pmrB (n = 24; M15T, G73S, V74I, I83A, A111V). Other resistance determinants were also detected, such as the aac(6')-Iaa gene in 72 isolates, while others carried beta-lactamase genes (blaTEM-1blaCTX-M-2, blaCMY-2). Additionally, genes associated with fluoroquinolone resistance (qnrB19, qnrS1, oqxA/B) were detected in 11 isolates. Colistin and polymyxin B resistance were identified among Salmonella from non-human sources, but not associated with the mcr genes. Furthermore, the already-described mutations associated with polymyxin resistance were detected in only a small number of isolates, underscoring the need to explore and characterize unknown genes that contribute to resistance.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study reports the genomic characterization of the multidrug resistant Salmonella Newport strain 195_20 recovered from the diarrheic faeces of a foal in Brazil and co-harbouring the mcr-9, blaCMY-2 and qnrB19 antibiotic resistance genes. METHODS Bacterial isolate positive for mobile colistin resistance gene (mcr-9) was submitted to antimicrobial susceptibility testing by disk diffusion and broth microdilution for colistin and polymyxin B. The isolate was submitted to whole genome sequencing by Illumina technology and Nanopore Sequencing. Conjugation assays, plasmid sizes determined by S1-PFGE and plasmid content were investigated by hybrid assembly after MinIon long reads sequencing. RESULTS Isolate 195_20 was identified as sequence type ST45, resistant to penicillin and cephalosporins (ampicillin, ceftazidime, ceftriaxone and cefotaxime), aminoglycosides (streptomycin and gentamicin), phenicol (chloramphenicol), quinolones and fluoroquinolones (nalidixic acid, ciprofloxacin, and pefloxacin), folate pathway antagonists (sulfonamides and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole), and tetracycline. A transferable IncHI2/IncHI2A plasmid sized ca. 262kb was found to carry the mcr-9 gene in a module consisting of IS903-mcr-9-wbuC-IS26. In addition, an 174kb IncC and a 48kb IncN plasmid were also identified in the 195_20 isolate, carrying blaCMY-2 and qnrB19, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Not surprisingly, isolate 195_20 was susceptible to polymyxins, possibly due to absence of qseBC regulatory operon. Presence of mobile colistin resistance (mcr-9), third-generation cephalosporins (blaCMY-2) and quinolone (qnrB19) resistance determinants in zoonotic pathogens from animals in close contact with humans alerts for the possible route of transmission between these different reservoirs.

Abstract
The escalating misuse and excessive utilization of antibiotics have led to the widespread dissemination of drug-resistant bacteria, posing a significant global healthcare crisis. Of particular concern is the increasing prevalence of multi-drug resistant (MDR) opportunistic pathogens in Intensive Care Units (ICUs), which presents a severe threat to public health and contributes to substantial morbidity and mortality. Among them, MDR ESKAPE pathogens account for the vast majority of these opportunistic pathogens. This comprehensive review provides a meticulous analysis of the current prevalence landscape of MDR opportunistic pathogens in ICUs, especially in ESKAPE pathogens, illuminating their resistance mechanisms against commonly employed first-line antibiotics, including polymyxins, carbapenems, and tigecycline. Furthermore, this review explores innovative strategies aimed at preventing and controlling the emergence and spread of resistance. By emphasizing the urgent need for robust measures to combat nosocomial infections caused by MDR opportunistic pathogens in ICUs, this study serves as an invaluable reference for future investigations in the field of antibiotic resistance.

Abstract
Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium (S. Typhimurium) and S. 4,[5],12:i:- have become the most common serovars associated with human salmonellosis worldwide. Moreover, the emergence of mcr-carrying S. Typhimurium and S. 4,[5],12:i:- with multidrug resistance (MDR) patterns has posed a threat to public health. In this study, we retrospectively screened 2009-2022 laboratory-preserved strains for the presence of mcr genes. We obtained 16 mcr-1-positive S. Typhimurium and S. 4,[5],12:i:- strains with MDR that belonged to sequence type 34 (ST34). Whole-genome sequencing analysis revealed that the mcr-1 was located on the IncI2 or IncHI2 plasmids. The ISApl1 element downstream of mcr-1 was present in all pig-derived strains. Conjugation experiments confirmed that nine mcr-1-carrying IncHI2 plasmids could not be transferred to Escherichia coli due to loss of the conjugation region. Finally, core genome single nucleotide polymorphism (cgSNP) analyses of the 16 mcr-1-carrying strains and 77 mcr-carrying ST34-Salmonella genome sequences from the NCBI and ENA databases showed that five out of eight clusters contained strains from pig and pig products, revealing pigs and pig products as key reservoirs of mcr-1-positive ST34-Salmonella strains. The transmission of mcr-carrying ST34 Salmonella strains to humans via the pig food chain is a potential cause for public health concern in controlling human salmonellosis.

Abstract
The emergence and dissemination of the extended spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Enterobacteriaceae harbouring antimicrobial resistance (AMR) genes has diminished the potential options for treating multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacterial infections. Until now, numerous studies reported the spreading of critical plasmid-borne AMR genes from different sources worldwide. While the knowledge on the occurrence of the plasmid-borne AMR genes, especially mcr genes in the dead chick embryos, remains obscure. A retrospective study was conducted to detect the presence of the mcr genes in forty-five Salmonella enterica isolates recovered from 2139 dead chick embryo samples, from breeding chicken hatcheries in Henan, China. Using multiplex PCR, we found only four isolates out of the forty-five were mcr-9-positive. These four isolates were found to be MDR, ESBL- producing and showed resistance to 10 antimicrobial drugs. Additionally, mcr-9 harbouring plasmids were successfully transferred into Escherichia coli (E. coli) J53 by conjugation and the mcr-9 gene was confirmed by PCR. We also found that the transconjugants exhibited higher MICs for ampicillin, gentamycin and colistin than the recipient. Whole-genome sequence analysis showed that the four isolates belonged to Salmonella Thompson ST26 and harboured IncHI2 plasmid replicon. Furthermore, the mcr-9 harbouring plasmids were reconstructed using in silico tools and found to be carried other AMR genes (blaDHA-1 and qnrB4). The studied isolates carried the typical virulence factors from Salmonella pathogenicity islands 1 and 2 (SPI-1 and SPI-2), in addition to pef and csg operons which are important in host adhesion and biofilm formation. The mgtC gene, which is involved in phagocytosis, has also been identified. Together, the increase in the phenotypic resistance of the transconjugants and the plasmid in silico reconstruction analysis confirmed that the corresponding resistance genes might be located together on the same plasmid. To track the potential phylogenomic relations of our detected ESBL S. Thompson isolates, we constructed a phylogenomic tree with available ESBL S. Thompson genomes (n = 26) that were reported worldwide. The studied isolates were independently clustered together with four other Chinese isolates of food origin in one clade, providing strong evidence of a potential recent and wide dissemination of ESBL S. Thompson across the food chain in China. In conclusion, we report the detection of four highly virulent ESBL-producing S. Thompson ST26 isolates harbouring mcr-9 gene obtained from dead chick embryos in Henan, China.

Abstract
With the globally prevailing carbapenemase-producing (CP) Citrobacter spp., polymyxin antibiotics have been reconsidered as one of the last-resort treatment options. Our study was conducted to investigate the prevalence of mcr-9 in Citrobacter species. From October to November 2021, 650 fecal samples and 215 Citrobacter isolates were collected from healthy individuals and infected patients, respectively. Isolates were screened for the presence of the mcr-9 gene by the PCR method. mcr-9-carrying strains were identified by matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometry. Due to the susceptibility to colistin, Citrobacter spp. isolates were first induced to increase the expression of mcr-9 on China blue agar plates containing colistin and were then subjected to conjugation experiments. Whole-genome sequencing was performed on the Illumina NovaSeq PE150 system. The prevalence of mcr-9 in the Citrobacter genus from healthy guts and infected patients was 0.62% and 1.86%, respectively. In all mcr-9-positive strains, MICs of polymyxin B were observed at ≤2 μg/mL, displaying a nonresistant phenotype. As for conjugation experiments, only one isolate successfully transferred the mcr-9 gene to Escherichia coli C600. Whole-genome sequencing showed that eight mcr-9-positive Citrobacter isolates carried mcr-9 and genes encoding resistance to beta-lactam antibiotics, including blaCMY, blaDHA, blaSHV, blaTEM, and blaCTX-M. We also discovered that mcr-9 could be located on the pKPC-CAV1321 plasmid. Our study investigated the prevalence of mcr-9 in Citrobacter spp. in both healthy individuals and infected patients and described the carriage of mcr-9 on the pKPC-CAV1321 plasmid for the first time. IMPORTANCE The emergence of mcr homologues posed a serious threat to the therapeutic efficiency of polymyxin antibiotics. Citrobacter freundii is generally regarded as an opportunistic pathogen associated with a variety of nosocomial infections. In this study, we investigated the prevalence of mcr-9 in Citrobacter spp. isolates from healthy individuals and infected patients and highlighted the importance of the rational use of antibiotics. In addition, this epidemiological investigation is the first to describe the carriage of mcr-9 on plasmid pKPC-CAV1321 and confirms the horizontal transfer of this plasmid. Our research may shed new light on further studies of mcr-9 dissemination in humans.

Abstract
Salmonella enterica is a zoonotic food-borne pathogen threatening public health around the world. As is the case with many other pathogens, the spread of mobilized colistin resistance (mcr) alleles is of grave concern. In this study, totally 689 clinical Salmonella isolates were collected from a local hospital in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, China between 2009 and 2018. Resistance genes were screen by PCR. Two mcr-9-positive Salmonella strains S15 and S639 were identified which belong to serotype Typhimurium and Thompson, respectively. We observed that both mcr-9 genes were located on conjugative IncHI2 plasmids which encoded numerous resistance genes, likely facilitating the dissemination of mcr-9 by co-resistance mechanisms. The mcr-9 cassettes encoded on the two plasmids were not identical: downstream of the mcr-9 genes, we found IS1 on one plasmid (pS15), while the other had a WbuC-IS26 (pS639). Despite the presence of mcr-9 cassettes, the strains were not rendered colistin resistant. Yet, it is of epidemiological importance to implement surveillance to be able to observe and possibly control the spread of mcr-9 due to its potential to mediate resistance to the last-resort antibiotic colistin.
