Differential alteration in Lactiplantibacillus plantarum subsp. plantarum quorum-sensing systems and reduced Candida albicans yeast survival and virulence gene expression in dual-species interaction. Microbiol Spectr 2024; 12:e0035324. [PMID: 38717160 PMCID: PMC11237386 DOI: 10.1128/spectrum.00353-24] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/08/2024] [Accepted: 04/15/2024] [Indexed: 06/06/2024] Open
Abstract
Candida albicans (C. albicans) and Lactiplantibacillus plantarum subsp. plantarum (L. plantarum) are frequently identified in various niches, but their dual-species interaction, especially with C. albicans in yeast form, remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate the dual-species interaction of L. plantarum and C. albicans, including proliferation, morphology, and transcriptomes examined by selective agar plate counting, microscopy, and polymicrobial RNA-seq, respectively. Maintaining a stable and unchanged growth rate, L. plantarum inhibited C. albicans yeast cell proliferation but not hyphal growth. Combining optical microscopy and atomic force microscopy, cell-to-cell direct contact and co-aggregation with L. plantarum cells surrounding C. albicans yeast cells were observed during dual-species interaction. Reduced C. albicans yeast cell proliferation in mixed culture was partially due to L. plantarum cell-free culture supernatant but not the acidic environment. Upon polymicrobial transcriptomics analysis, interesting changes were identified in both L. plantarum and C. albicans gene expression. First, two L. plantarum quorum-sensing systems showed contrary changes, with the activation of lamBDCA and repression of luxS. Second, the upregulation of stress response-related genes and downregulation of cell cycle, cell survival, and cell integrity-related pathways were identified in C. albicans, possibly connected to the stress posed by L. plantarum and the reduced yeast cell proliferation. Third, a large scale of pathogenesis and virulence factors were downregulated in C. albicans, indicating the potential interruption of pathogenic activities by L. plantarum. Fourth, partial metabolism and transport pathways were changed in L. plantarum and C. albicans. The information in this study might aid in understanding the behavior of L. plantarum and C. albicans in dual-species interaction.IMPORTANCEThe anti-Candida albicans activity of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum has been explored in the past decades. However, the importance of C. albicans yeast form and the effect of C. albicans on L. plantarum had also been omitted. In this study, the dual-species interaction of L. plantarum and C. albicans was investigated with a focus on the transcriptomes. Cell-to-cell direct contact and co-aggregation with L. plantarum cells surrounding C. albicans yeast cells were observed. Upon polymicrobial transcriptomics analysis, interesting changes were identified, including contrary changes in two L. plantarum quorum-sensing systems and reduced cell survival-related pathways and pathogenesis determinants in C. albicans.

Abstract
To understand the antimicrobial effect of surfaces fabricated with dead probiotics, we prepared surfaces decorated with dead probiotics Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG (LGG) with varied inactivation methods and explored their inhibitory interactions with Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PAO1). By combining several techniques, i.e., digital holographic microscopy (DHM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), RNA sequencing, and metabolomic analysis, we studied the three-dimensional (3D) swimming behaviors, surface adhesion, biofilm formation, and adaptive responses of PAO1 near such surfaces. The results show that planktonic PAO1 decreases their flick and reverse motions by downregulating the chemotaxis pathway and accelerates with less accumulation near dead LGG surfaces by upregulating the flagellar assembly pathway and decreasing cyclic adenosine monophosphate. Distinct from live siblings, the surfaces decorated with dead LGG show a significant reduction in adhesion strength with PAO1 and inhibit biofilm formation with more downregulated genes in the Pseudomonas quinolone signal and biofilm formation pathway. We demonstrate that the antibacterial ability of such surfaces stems from the gradually released lysate from the dead LGG that is unfavorable to PAO1 in close proximity. The releasing rate and order depend on the cell membrane integrity, which closely relates to the inactivation methods.

Abstract
Staphylococcus aureus is a versatile pathogen known to cause hospital- and community-acquired, foodborne, and zoonotic infections. The clinical infections by S. aureus cause an increase in morbidity and mortality rates and treatment costs, aggravated by the emergence of drug-resistant strains. As a multi-faceted pathogen, it is imperative to consolidate the knowledge on its pathogenesis, including the mechanisms of virulence regulation, development of antimicrobial resistance, and biofilm formation, to make it amenable to different treatment strategies. Nanomaterials provide a suitable platform to address this challenge, with the potential to control intracellular parasitism and multidrug resistance where conventional therapies show limited efficacy. In a nutshell, the first part of this review focuses on the impact of S. aureus on human health and the role of virulence factors and biofilms during pathogenesis. The second part discusses the large diversity of nanoparticles and their applications in controlling S. aureus infections, including combination with antibiotics and phytochemicals and the incorporation of antimicrobial coatings for biomaterials. Finally, the limitations and prospects using nanomaterials are highlighted, aiming to foster the development of novel nanotechnology-driven therapies against multidrug-resistant S. aureus.

Abstract
Interactions between microbes and microplastics are important as of emerging plastic loads in the global environment. Although diverse plastic additives are used in large amounts, there are very few studies on a quantitative comparison of plastisphere on plastics with different plastic additives. We studied the effects of two widely used UV stabilizers (benzotriazole-type UV-327 and benzophenone-type UV-531 were selected based on their persistence and toxicity) in low-density polyethylene (LDPE) on freshwater microbes. This is the first study on the sole effects of UV stabilizers used as plastic additives on freshwater in situ plastisphere biofilm development. Confocal laser scanning microscopy, assisted with proper differentiating fluorochromes and threshold-based 3D segmentation of data, was used to visualize and quantify biofilm. On the first week of biofilm growth, there was very little biovolume and a negligible amount of phototrophs on pristine LDPE contrasting other substrates. Biovolumes were significantly higher on LDPE with UV stabilizers (up to 159% higher than pristine LDPE), although the biomass was mostly dead due to toxicity (>100% higher dead biovolume than live biovolume in LDPE with UV stabilizers). After the fourth week, marginally higher biovolumes along with a revival of the biomass on LDPE with UV stabilizers were observed. The ability to induce microorganismic intracellular reactive oxygen species by UV stabilizers was detected, which may stimulate biofilm growth during the primary phase of biofilm development. Atomic force microscopy analysis denoted that LDPE with UV stabilizers exhibit considerably stronger adhesion force than pristine LDPE. These observations suggest that UV stabilizers can foster the early attachment of microbes to microplastics while killing the surface contacting layer. An alive upper layer of microbes can get developed on the dead biofilm without much disruption due to the toxicity of UV stabilizers. This occurrence can eventually boost the early development of biofilms on plastics.

Microbial Interaction between Lactiplantibacillus plantarum and Saccharomyces cerevisiae: Transcriptome Level Mechanism of Cell-Cell Antagonism. Microbiol Spectr 2022; 10:e0143322. [PMID: 35980205 PMCID: PMC9604076 DOI: 10.1128/spectrum.01433-22] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/30/2022] [Accepted: 07/27/2022] [Indexed: 02/05/2023] Open
Abstract
Lactiplantibacillus plantarum and Saccharomyces cerevisiae are frequently co-isolated in food, although playing different roles. This study aimed at investigating the microbial interaction between L. plantarum and S. cerevisiae, especially cell-cell direct interaction and their mechanism. Cell-cell and supernatant-cell coculture models were set up, with CFU counting, OD600 measurement, optical and atomic force microscopy performed to examine the growth and morphology of L. plantarum and S. cerevisiae cells. In cell-cell coculture model, L. plantarum cells inhibited S. cerevisiae growth (inhibition rate ~80%) with its own growth pattern unaffected. Cell-cell aggregation happened during coculture with surface roughness changed and partial S. cerevisiae cell lysis. Mature (24 h) L. plantarum cell-free culture supernatant showed inhibition (35%-75%) on S. cerevisiae growth independent of pH level, while supernatant from L. plantarum-S. cerevisiae coculture showed relatively stronger inhibition. Upon transcriptomics analysis, hypothesis on the mechanism of microbial interaction between L. plantarum and S. cerevisiae was demonstrated. When L. plantarum cell density reached threshold at 24 h, all genes in lamBDCA quorum sensing (QS) system was upregulated to potentially increase adhesion capability, leading to the aggregation to S. cerevisiae cell. The downregulation of whole basic physiological activity from DNA to RNA to protein, cell cycle, meiosis, and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathways, as well as growth maintenance essential genes ari1, skg6, and kex2/gas1 might induce the decreased growth and proliferation rate and partial death of S. cerevisiae cells in coculture. IMPORTANCE L. plantarum and S. cerevisiae are frequently co-isolated in food, although playing different roles. The co-existence of L. plantarum and S. cerevisiae could result in variable effects, raising economic benefits and safety concerns in food industry. Previous research has reported the microbial interaction between L. plantarum and S. cerevisiae mainly rely on the signaling through extracellular metabolites. However, cell-cell aggregation has been observed with mechanism remain unknown. In the current study, the microbial interaction between L. plantarum and S. cerevisiae was investigated with emphasis on cell-cell direct interaction and further in-depth transcriptome level study showed the key role of lamBDCA quorum sensing system in L. plantarum. The results yield from this study demonstrated the antagonistic effect between L. plantarum and S. cerevisiae.

Abstract
At present, antibiotic resistance represents a global problem in modern medicine. In the near future, humanity may face a situation where medicine will be powerless against resistant bacteria and a post-antibiotic era will come. The development of new antibiotics is either very expensive or ineffective due to rapidly developing bacterial resistance. The need to develop alternative approaches to the treatment of bacterial infections, such as phage therapy, is beyond doubt. The cornerstone of bacterial defense against antibiotics are multidrug resistance (MDR) pumps, which are involved in antibiotic resistance, toxin export, biofilm, and persister cell formation. MDR pumps are the primary non-specific defense of bacteria against antibiotics, while drug target modification, drug inactivation, target switching, and target sequestration are the second, specific line of their defense. All bacteria have MDR pumps, and bacteriophages have evolved along with them and use the bacteria’s need for MDR pumps to bind and penetrate into bacterial cells. The study and understanding of the mechanisms of the pumps and their contribution to the overall resistance and to the sensitivity to bacteriophages will allow us to either seriously delay the onset of the post-antibiotic era or even prevent it altogether due to phage-antibiotic synergy.

Abstract
Antibiotic resistance is a global problem of modern medicine. A harbinger of the onset of the postantibiotic era is the complexity and high cost of developing new antibiotics as well as their inefficiency due to the rapidly developing resistance of bacteria. Multidrug resistance (MDR) pumps, involved in the formation of resistance to xenobiotics, the export of toxins, the maintenance of cellular homeostasis, and the formation of biofilms and persistent cells, are the keystone of bacterial protection against antibiotics. MDR pumps are the basis for the nonspecific protection of bacteria, while modification of the drug target, inactivation of the drug, and switching of the target or sequestration of the target is the second specific line of their protection. Thus, the nonspecific protection of bacteria formed by MDR pumps is a barrier that prevents the penetration of antibacterial substances into the cell, which is the main factor determining the resistance of bacteria. Understanding the mechanisms of MDR pumps and a balanced assessment of their contribution to total resistance, as well as to antibiotic sensitivity, will either seriously delay the onset of the postantibiotic era or prevent its onset in the foreseeable future.

Abstract
Microbial contamination and subsequent formation of biofilms frequently cause failure of surgical implants and a good understanding of the bacteria-surface interactions is vital to the design and safety of biomaterials. In this review, the physical and chemical factors that are involved in the various stages of implant-associated bacterial infection are described. In particular, topographical modification strategies that have been employed to mitigate bacterial adhesion via topographical mechanisms are summarized and discussed comprehensively. Recent advances have improved our understanding about bacteria-surface interactions and have enabled biomedical engineers and researchers to develop better and more effective antibacterial surfaces. The related interdisciplinary efforts are expected to continue in the quest for next-generation medical devices to attain the ultimate goal of improved clinical outcomes and reduced number of revision surgeries.

Abstract
The contribution of the biofilm extracellular polymeric substance (EPS) matrix to reduced antimicrobial susceptibility in biofilms is widely recognised. As such, the direct targeting of the EPS matrix is a promising biofilm control strategy that allows for the disruption of the matrix, thereby allowing a subsequent increase in susceptibility to antimicrobial agents. To this end, surface-functionalized nanoparticles (NPs) have received considerable attention. However, the fundamental understanding of the interactions occurring between engineered NPs and the biofilm EPS matrix has not yet been fully elucidated. An insight into the underlying mechanisms involved when a NP interacts with the EPS matrix will aid in the design of more efficient NPs for biofilm control. Here we demonstrate the use of highly specific fluorescent probes in confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) to illustrate the distribution of EPS macromolecules within the biofilm. Thereafter, a three-dimensional (3D) colocalization analysis was used to assess the affinity of differently functionalized silica NPs (SiNPs) and EPS macromolecules from Pseudomonas fluorescens biofilms. Results show that both the charge and surface functional groups of SiNPs dramatically affected the extent to which SiNPs interacted and localized with EPS macromolecules, including proteins, polysaccharides and DNA. Hypotheses are also presented about the possible physicochemical interactions which may be dominant in EPS matrix-NP interactions. This research not only develops an innovative CLSM-based methodology for elucidating biofilm-nanoparticle interactions but also provides a platform on which to build more efficient NP systems for biofilm control.

Colloids Surf B Biointerfaces 2020; 197:111408. [PMID: 33099147 DOI: 10.1016/j.colsurfb.2020.111408] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/27/2020] [Revised: 09/23/2020] [Accepted: 10/08/2020] [Indexed: 11/27/2022]
Abstract
In this study, the 3D motion behaviors and the underlying adaptation mechanism of planktonic Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PAO1) in response to the deposited dead siblings nearby were explored. Utilizing a real-time 3D tracking technique, digital holographic microscopy (DHM), we demonstrate that planktonic cells near the surface covered with dead siblings have a lower density and a reduced 3D velocity compared with those upon viable ones. As a sign of chemosensory responses, bacteria swimming near the dead siblings exhibit increase in frequency of the 'flick' motion. Transcriptomic analysis by RNA-seq reveals an upregulated expression of dgcM and dgcE inhibited the movement of PAO1, accompanied by increased transcriptional levels of the virulence factor-related genes hcp1, clpV1, and vgrG1. Moreover, the decrease in l-glutamate and the increase in succinic acid in the metabolites of the dead bacteria layer promote the dispersion of planktonic bacteria. As a result, the dead siblings on a surface inhibit the bacterial accumulation and activate the adaptive defensive responses of planktonic PAO1 in the vicinity.

Prolonged inhibitory effects against planktonic growth, adherence, and biofilm formation of pathogens causing ventilator-associated pneumonia using a novel polyamide/silver nanoparticle composite-coated endotracheal tube. BIOFOULING 2020; 36:292-307. [PMID: 32367731 DOI: 10.1080/08927014.2020.1759041] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/03/2020] [Revised: 04/15/2020] [Accepted: 04/19/2020] [Indexed: 06/11/2023]
Abstract
Microbial cells can rapidly form biofilm on endotracheal tubes (ETT) causing ventilator-associated pneumonia, a serious complication in patients receiving mechanical ventilation. A novel polyamide with a good balance of hydrophilic/hydrophobic moieties was used for the embedment of green-reduction silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) for the composite-coated ETT. The films were conformal with a thickness of ∼ 17 ± 3 µm accommodating high loading of 60 ± 35 nm spherical-shaped AgNPs. The coated ETT resulted in a significant difference in reducing both planktonic growth and microbial adhesion of single and mixed-species cultures, compared with uncoated ETT (p < 0.05). A time-kill assay demonstrated rapid bactericidal effects of the coating on bacterial growth and cell adhesion to ETT surface. Biofilm formation by Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus, commonly encountered pathogens, was inhibited by > 96% after incubation for 72 h. Polyamide/AgNP composite-coated ETT provided a broad-spectrum activity against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria as well as Candida albicans and prolonged antimicrobial activity.
