BMC Microbiol 2024; 24:191. [PMID: 38822261 PMCID: PMC11140963 DOI: 10.1186/s12866-024-03348-8] [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: 04/29/2023] [Accepted: 05/22/2024] [Indexed: 06/02/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The main natural reservoir for Campylobacter jejuni is the avian intestinal tract. There, C. jejuni multiplies optimally at 42 °C - the avian body temperature. After infecting humans through oral intake, the bacterium encounters the lower temperature of 37 °C in the human intestinal tract. Proteome profiling by label-free mass spectrometry (DIA-MS) was performed to examine the processes which enable C. jejuni 81-176 to thrive at 37 °C in comparison to 42 °C. In total, four states were compared with each other: incubation for 12 h at 37 °C, for 24 h at 37 °C, for 12 h at 42 °C and 24 h at 42 °C. RESULTS It was shown that the proteomic changes not only according to the different incubation temperature but also to the length of the incubation period were evident when comparing 37 °C and 42 °C as well as 12 h and 24 h of incubation. Altogether, the expression of 957 proteins was quantifiable. 37.1 - 47.3% of the proteins analyzed showed significant differential regulation, with at least a 1.5-fold change in either direction (i.e. log2 FC ≥ 0.585 or log2 FC ≤ -0.585) and an FDR-adjusted p-value of less than 0.05. The significantly differentially expressed proteins could be arranged in 4 different clusters and 16 functional categories. CONCLUSIONS The C. jejuni proteome at 42 °C is better adapted to high replication rates than that at 37 °C, which was in particular indicated by the up-regulation of proteins belonging to the functional categories "replication" (e.g. Obg, ParABS, and NapL), "DNA synthesis and repair factors" (e.g. DNA-polymerase III, DnaB, and DnaE), "lipid and carbohydrate biosynthesis" (e.g. capsular biosynthesis sugar kinase, PrsA, AccA, and AccP) and "vitamin synthesis, metabolism, cofactor biosynthesis" (e.g. MobB, BioA, and ThiE). The relative up-regulation of proteins with chaperone function (GroL, DnaK, ClpB, HslU, GroS, DnaJ, DnaJ-1, and NapD) at 37 °C in comparison to 42 °C after 12 h incubation indicates a temporary lower-temperature proteomic response. Additionally the up-regulation of factors for DNA uptake (ComEA and RecA) at 37 °C compared to 42 °C indicate a higher competence for the acquisition of extraneous DNA at human body temperature.

Abstract
β-Lactams are the most widely employed antibiotics in clinical settings due to their broad efficacy and low toxicity. However, since their first use in the 1940s, resistance to β-lactams has proliferated to the point where multi-drug resistant organisms are now one of the greatest threats to global human health. Many bacteria use β-lactamases to inactivate this class of antibiotics via hydrolysis. Although nucleophilic serine-β-lactamases have long been clinically important, most broad-spectrum β-lactamases employ one or two metal ions (likely Zn2+) in catalysis. To date, potent and clinically useful inhibitors of these metallo-β-lactamases (MBLs) have not been available, exacerbating their negative impact on healthcare. MBLs are categorised into three subgroups: B1, B2, and B3 MBLs, depending on their sequence similarities, active site structures, interactions with metal ions, and substrate preferences. The majority of MBLs associated with the spread of antibiotic resistance belong to the B1 subgroup. Most characterized B3 MBLs have been discovered in environmental bacteria, but they are increasingly identified in clinical samples. B3-type MBLs display greater diversity in their active sites than other MBLs. Furthermore, at least one of the known B3-type MBLs is inhibited by the serine-β-lactamase inhibitor clavulanic acid, an observation that may promote the design of derivatives active against a broader range of MBLs. In this Mini Review, recent advances in structure-function relationships of B3-type MBLs will be discussed, with a view to inspiring inhibitor development to combat the growing spread of β-lactam resistance.

Abstract
Due to an increase in the overuse of antimicrobials and accelerated incidence of drug resistant pathogens, antimicrobial resistance has become a global health threat. In particular, bacterial antimicrobial resistance, in both hospital and community acquired transmission, have been found to be the leading cause of death due to infectious diseases. Understanding the mechanisms of bacterial drug resistance is of clinical significance irrespective of hospital or community acquired since it plays an important role in the treatment strategy and controlling infectious diseases. Here we highlight the advances in mass spectrometry-based proteomics impact in bacterial proteomics and metabolomics analysis- focus on bacterial drug resistance. Advances in omics technologies over the last few decades now allows multi-omics studies in order to obtain a comprehensive understanding of the biochemical alterations of pathogenic bacteria in the context of antibiotic exposure, identify novel biomarkers to develop new drug targets, develop time-effectively screen for drug susceptibility or resistance using proteomics and metabolomics.

Abstract
The profound effects of and distress caused by the global COVID-19 pandemic highlighted what has been known in the health sciences a long time ago: that bacteria, fungi, viruses, and parasites continue to present a major threat to human health. Infectious diseases remain the leading cause of death worldwide, with antibiotic resistance increasing exponentially due to a lack of new treatments. In addition to this, many pathogens share the common trait of having the ability to modulate, and escape from, the host immune response. The challenge in medical microbiology is to develop and apply new experimental approaches that allow for the identification of both the microbe and its drug susceptibility profile in a time-sensitive manner, as well as to elucidate their molecular mechanisms of survival and immunomodulation. Over the last three decades, proteomics has contributed to a better understanding of the underlying molecular mechanisms responsible for microbial drug resistance and pathogenicity. Proteomics has gained new momentum as a result of recent advances in mass spectrometry. Indeed, mass spectrometry-based biomedical research has been made possible thanks to technological advances in instrumentation capability and the continuous improvement of sample processing and workflows. For example, high-throughput applications such as SWATH or Trapped ion mobility enable the identification of thousands of proteins in a matter of minutes. This type of rapid, in-depth analysis, combined with other advanced, supportive applications such as data processing and artificial intelligence, presents a unique opportunity to translate knowledge-based findings into measurable impacts like new antimicrobial biomarkers and drug targets. In relation to the Research Topic “Proteomic Approaches to Unravel Mechanisms of Resistance and Immune Evasion of Bacterial Pathogens,” this review specifically seeks to highlight the synergies between the powerful fields of modern proteomics and microbiology, as well as bridging translational opportunities from biomedical research to clinical practice.

Abstract
Factors governing resistance in carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae are manifold. Despite ample research efforts, underlying molecular mechanisms are still only partly understood. Furthermore, little is known on (eco)physiological consequences from resistance acquisition originating from distinct mechanisms in respective bacteria. In this study, we examined physiological adaptation of Escherichia coli clinical isolates exhibiting two distinct resistance mechanisms–either carrying a carbapenemase (n = 4, CARB) or alterations in porin-encoding genes (n = 6, POR)–during growth with sublethal concentrations of ertapenem in chemostat culture. Basic growth parameters based on optical density and flow-cytometric analyses as well as global gene expression patterns using RNA-Seq were recorded. We demonstrate that strategies to deal with the antibiotic were distinct between strains of the two groups, where (increased) expression of carbapenemases was the major response in CARB, whereas wide-spread alterations in gene-expression that promoted a survival-like phenotype was observed in POR. The response in POR was accompanied with “costs of resistance” resulting in reduced growth efficiencies compared with CARB that are intrinsic to that group and were also observed during growth without antibiotic challenge, however, at lower levels. All strains showed similar minimal inhibitory concentrations and did not form phylogenetic groups, indicating that results cannot be attributed to distinct resistance levels or phylogenetic relationships, but are indeed based on the resistance mechanism.

Abstract
Metallo-β-lactamases (MBLs) hydrolyze almost all β-lactam antibiotics, including penicillins, cephalosporins, and carbapenems; however, no effective inhibitors are currently clinically available. MBLs are classified into three subclasses: B1, B2, and B3. Although the amino acid sequences of MBLs are varied, their overall scaffold is well conserved. In this study, we systematically studied the primary sequences and crystal structures of all subclasses of MBLs, especially the core scaffold, the zinc-coordinating residues in the active site, and the substrate-binding pocket. We presented the conserved structural features of MBLs in the same subclass and the characteristics of MBLs of each subclass. The catalytic zinc ions are bound with four loops from the two central β-sheets in the conserved αβ/βα sandwich fold of MBLs. The three external loops cover the zinc site(s) from the outside and simultaneously form a substrate-binding pocket. In the overall structure, B1 and B2 MBLs are more closely related to each other than they are to B3 MBLs. However, B1 and B3 MBLs have two zinc ions in the active site, while B2 MBLs have one. The substrate-binding pocket is different among all three subclasses, which is especially important for substrate specificity and drug resistance. Thus far, various classes of β-lactam antibiotics have been developed to have modified ring structures and substituted R groups. Currently available structures of β-lactam-bound MBLs show that the binding of β-lactams is well conserved according to the overall chemical structure in the substrate-binding pocket. Besides β-lactam substrates, B1 and cross-class MBL inhibitors also have distinguished differences in the chemical structure, which fit well to the substrate-binding pocket of MBLs within their inhibitory spectrum. The systematic structural comparison among B1, B2, and B3 MBLs provides in-depth insight into their substrate specificity, which will be useful for developing a clinical inhibitor targeting MBLs.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study compared the proteomics of Escherichia coli containing the multi-drug resistance pEK499 plasmid under antimicrobial stress and no antimicrobial. METHODS We utilised mass spectrometry-based proteomics to compare the proteomes of the bacteria and plasmid under antimicrobial stress and no antimicrobial. RESULTS Our analysis identified statistically significant differentially abundant proteins common to groups exposed to the β-lactam antimicrobials but not ciprofloxacin, indicating a β-lactam stress response to exposure from this class of drugs, irrespective of β-lactam resistance or susceptibility. Data arising from comparisons of the proteomes of ciprofloxacin-treated E. coli and controls detected an increase in the relative abundance of proteins associated with ribosomes, translation, the TCA-cycle and several proteins associated with detoxification and a decrease in the relative abundances of proteins associated with stress response, including oxidative stress. We identified changes in proteins associated with persister formation in the presence of ciprofloxacin but not the β-lactams. The plasmid proteome differed across each treatment and did not follow the pattern of antimicrobial - AMR protein associations: a relative increase in the amount of blaCTX-M-15 in the presence of cefotaxime and ciprofloxacin but not the other β-lactams, suggesting regulation of the blaCTX-M-15 protein production. CONCLUSIONS The proteomic data from the this study provided novel insights into the proteins produced from the chromosome and plasmid under different antimicrobial stresses. These data also identified novel proteins not previously associated with AMR or antimicrobials responses in pathogens, which may well represent potential targets of AMR inhibition.

Abstract
The spread of carbapenem- and polymyxin-resistant Enterobacteriaceae poses a significant threat to public health, challenging clinicians worldwide with limited therapeutic options. This review describes the current coding and noncoding genetic and transcriptional mechanisms mediating carbapenem and polymyxin resistance, respectively. The spread of carbapenem- and polymyxin-resistant Enterobacteriaceae poses a significant threat to public health, challenging clinicians worldwide with limited therapeutic options. This review describes the current coding and noncoding genetic and transcriptional mechanisms mediating carbapenem and polymyxin resistance, respectively. A systematic review of all studies published in PubMed database between 2015 to October 2020 was performed. Journal articles evaluating carbapenem and polymyxin resistance mechanisms, respectively, were included. The search identified 171 journal articles for inclusion. Different New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase (NDM) carbapenemase variants had different transcriptional and affinity responses to different carbapenems. Mutations within the Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase (KPC) mobile transposon, Tn4401, affect its promoter activity and expression levels, increasing carbapenem resistance. Insertion of IS26 in ardK increased imipenemase expression 53-fold. ompCF porin downregulation (mediated by envZ and ompR mutations), micCF small RNA hyperexpression, efflux upregulation (mediated by acrA, acrR, araC, marA, soxS, ramA, etc.), and mutations in acrAB-tolC mediated clinical carbapenem resistance when coupled with β-lactamase activity in a species-specific manner but not when acting without β-lactamases. Mutations in pmrAB, phoPQ, crrAB, and mgrB affect phosphorylation of lipid A of the lipopolysaccharide through the pmrHFIJKLM (arnBCDATEF or pbgP) cluster, leading to polymyxin resistance; mgrB inactivation also affected capsule structure. Mobile and induced mcr, efflux hyperexpression and porin downregulation, and Ecr transmembrane protein also conferred polymyxin resistance and heteroresistance. Carbapenem and polymyxin resistance is thus mediated by a diverse range of genetic and transcriptional mechanisms that are easily activated in an inducing environment. The molecular understanding of these emerging mechanisms can aid in developing new therapeutics for multidrug-resistant Enterobacteriaceae isolates.

Abstract
Myrtus communis ("myrtle") and Asphaltum punjabianum ("shilajeet") are a medicinal plant and a long-term-humified dead plant material, respectively. We studied their antibacterial and anticandidal activities against Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, and Candida albicans. The activities of the aqueous extracts of the studied materials were measured using agar-well diffusion methods. Furthermore, proteomic analysis of treated microbial cells was conducted to identify affected proteins. The results showed both antibacterial and anticandidal activities for the myrtle extract (ME), while the shilajeet extract (SE) showed antibacterial activity only. The highest antimicrobial activity was observed against E. coli among the microbes tested; therefore, it was taken as the model for the proteomic analysis to identify the antimicrobial mechanism of ME and SE using two-dimensional electrophoresis. Upregulation of expression of 42 proteins and downregulation of expression of 6 proteins were observed in E. coli treated with ME, whereas 12 upregulated and 104 downregulated proteins were detected in E. coli treated with SE, in comparison with the control. About 85% of identified expressed proteins were from the cytoplasm and 15% from microbial cell walls, indicating the penetration of extracts inside cells. A higher percentage of expressed proteins was recorded for enzymatic activity. Our findings suggest that the major targets of the antibacterial action were proteins involved in the outer membrane, oxidative stress, and metabolism. Our data might reveal new targets for antimicrobial agents.

Abstract
Representatives of the Mollicutes class are the smallest, wall-less bacteria capable of independent reproduction. They are widespread in nature, most are commensals, and some are pathogens of humans, animals and plants. They are also the main contaminants of cell cultures and vaccine preparations. Despite limited biosynthetic capabilities, they are highly adaptable and capable of surviving under various stress and extreme conditions, including antimicrobial selective pressure. This review describes current understanding of antibiotic resistance (ABR) mechanisms in Mollicutes. Protective mechanisms in these bacteria include point mutations, which may include non-target genes, and unique gene exchange mechanisms, contributing to transfer of ABR genes. Better understanding of the mechanisms of emergence and dissemination of ABR in Mollicutes is crucial to control these hypermutable bacteria and prevent the occurrence of highly ABR strains.

Abstract
For many years, we have tried to use antibiotics to eliminate the persistence of pathogenic bacteria. However, these infectious agents can recover from antibiotic challenges through various mechanisms, including drug resistance and antibiotic tolerance, and continue to pose a global threat to human health. To design more efficient treatments against bacterial infections, detailed knowledge about the bacterial response to the commonly used antibiotics is required. Proteomics is a well-suited and powerful tool to study molecular response to antimicrobial compounds. Bacterial response profiling from system-level investigations could increase our understanding of bacterial adaptation, the mechanisms behind antibiotic resistance and tolerance development. In this review, we aim to provide an overview of bacterial response to the most common antibiotics with a focus on the identification of dynamic proteome responses, and through published studies, to elucidate the formation mechanism of resistant and tolerant bacterial phenotypes.

Abstract
Streptococcus suis is an important zoonotic pathogen. The massive use of tylosin and other antibiotics in swine production has led to the emergence of resistant phenotypes of S. suis. However, there are no adequate measures available to address the problem of bacterial resistance. This study involved the use of 1/4 MIC (0.125 µg/mL) of tylosin to investigate resistance-related proteins by S. suis ATCC 700794. Our results showed that 171 proteins were differentially expressed in S. suis tested with 1/4 MIC (0.125 µg/mL) of tylosin using iTRAQ-based quantitative proteomic methods. TCS, heat shock protein and elongation factors were differentially expressed at 1/4 MIC (0.125 µg/mL) of tylosin compared to non treated, control cells. Using quantitative RT-PCR analysis, we verified the relationship between the differentially expressed proteins in S. suis with different MIC values. The data showed that expression profile for elongation factor G (fusA), elongation factor Ts (tsf), elongation factor Tu (tuf), putative histidine kinase of the competence regulon, ComD (comD), putative competence-damage inducible protein (cinA) and protein GrpE (grpE), observed in tylosin-resistant S. suis, correlated with that of S. suis ATCC 700794 at 1/4 MIC (0.125 µg/mL). The MIC of tylosin-resistant showed high-level resistance in terramycin, chlortetracycline, ofloxacin and enrofloxacin. Our findings demonstrated the importance of elongation factors, TCS and heat shock protein during development of tylosin resistance in S. suis. Thus, our study will provide insight into new drug targets and help reduce bacterial multidrug resistance through development of corresponding inhibitors.

Abstract
This review is devoted to the mechanisms of antibiotic resistance in mollicutes (class Bacilli, subclass Mollicutes), the smallest self-replicating bacteria, that can cause diseases in plants, animals and humans, and also contaminate cell cultures and vaccine preparations. Research in this area has been mainly based on the ubiquitous mollicute and the main contaminant of cell cultures, Acholeplasma laidlawii. The omics technologies applied to this and other bacteria have yielded a complex picture of responses to antimicrobials, including their removal from the cell, the acquisition of antibiotic resistance genes and mutations that potentially allow global reprogramming of many cellular processes. This review provides a brief summary of well-known resistance mechanisms that have been demonstrated in several mollicutes species and, in more detail, novel mechanisms revealed in A. laidlawii, including the least explored vesicle-mediated transfer of short RNAs with a regulatory potency. We hope that this review highlights new avenues for further studies on antimicrobial resistance in these bacteria for both a basic science and an application perspective of infection control and management in clinical and research/production settings.
