Transcriptomic investigations of polymyxins and colistin/sulbactam combination against carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii. Comput Struct Biotechnol J 2024; 23:2595-2605. [PMID: 39006922 PMCID: PMC11245955 DOI: 10.1016/j.csbj.2024.05.043] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/13/2023] [Revised: 05/24/2024] [Accepted: 05/27/2024] [Indexed: 07/16/2024] Open
Abstract
Carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAB) is a Priority 1 (Critical) pathogen urgently requiring new antibiotics. Polymyxins are a last-line option against CRAB-associated infections. This transcriptomic study utilized a CRAB strain to investigate mechanisms of bacterial killing with polymyxin B, colistin, colistin B, and colistin/sulbactam combination therapy. After 4 h of 2 mg/L polymyxin monotherapy, all polymyxins exhibited common transcriptomic responses which primarily involved disruption to amino acid and fatty acid metabolism. Of the three monotherapies, polymyxin B induced the greatest number of differentially expressed genes (DEGs), including for genes involved with fatty acid metabolism. Gene disturbances with colistin and colistin B were highly similar (89 % common genes for colistin B), though effects on gene expression were generally lower (0-1.5-fold in most cases) with colistin B. Colistin alone (2 mg/L) or combined with sulbactam (64 mg/L) resulted in rapid membrane disruption as early as 1 h. Transcriptomic analysis of this combination revealed that the effects were driven by colistin, which included disturbances in fatty acid synthesis and catabolism, and inhibition of nutrient uptake. Combination therapy produced substantially higher fold changes in 72 % of DEGs shared with monotherapy, leading to substantially greater reductions in fatty acid biosynthesis and increases in biofilm, cell wall, and phospholipid synthesis. This indicates synergistic bacterial killing with the colistin/sulbactam combination results from a systematic increase in perturbation of many genes associated with bacterial metabolism. These mechanistic insights enhance our understanding of bacterial responses to polymyxin mono- and combination therapy and will assist to optimize polymyxin use in patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Acinetobacter baumannii (A. baumannii) is a common opportunistic pathogen in hospitals that causes nosocomial infection. In order to understand the phenotypic and genotypic characteristics of A. baumannii isolates, we sequenced and analyzed 62 A. baumannii isolates from a hospital in Gansu province. RESULTS Non-repeated 62 A. baumannii isolates were collected from August 2015 to November 2021. Most isolates (56/62) were resistant to multiple drugs. All the 62 A. baumannii isolates were resistant to aztreonam and contained blaADC-25 gene which exists only on chromosome contigs. The 62 isolates in this study were not clustered in a single clade, but were dispersed among multiple clades in the common genome. Seven sequence types were identified by Multilocus sequence type (MLST) analysis and most isolates (52/62) belonged to ST2. The plasmids were grouped into 11 clusters by MOB-suite. CONCLUSIONS This study furthers the understanding of A. baumannii antimicrobial-resistant genotypes, and may aid in prevention and control nosocomial infection caused by drug-resistant A. baumannii.

The Prevalence and Association of Different Uropathogens Detected by M-PCR with Infection-Associated Urine Biomarkers in Urinary Tract Infections. Res Rep Urol 2024; 16:19-29. [PMID: 38221993 PMCID: PMC10787514 DOI: 10.2147/rru.s443361] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/06/2023] [Accepted: 12/16/2023] [Indexed: 01/16/2024] Open
Abstract
Background Many emerging uropathogens are currently identified by multiplex polymerase chain reaction (M-PCR) in suspected UTI cases. Standard urine culture (SUC) has significantly lower detection rates, raising questions about whether these organisms are associated with UTIs and truly cause inflammation. Objective To determine if microbes detected by M-PCR were likely causative of UTI by measuring inflammatory biomarkers in the urine of symptomatic patients. Design Setting and Participants Midstream voided urine was collected from subjects ≥60 years presenting to urology clinics with symptoms of UTI (n = 1132) between 01/2023 and 05/2023. Microbe detection was by M-PCR and inflammation-associated biomarker (neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin, interleukin 8, and interleukin 1β) was by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Biomarker positivity was measured against individual and groups of organisms, E. coli and non-E. coli cases, emerging uropathogens, monomicrobial and polymicrobial cases. Outcome Measurements and Statistical Analysis Distributions were compared using 2-sample Wilcoxon Rank Sum test with 2-tailed p-values < 0.05 considered statistically significant. Results and Limitations M-PCR was positive in 823 (72.7%) specimens with 28 of 30 (93%) microorganisms/groups detected. Twenty-six of twenty-eight detected microorganisms/groups (93%) had ≥2 biomarkers positive in >66% of cases. Both non-E. coli cases and E. coli cases had significant biomarker positivity (p < 0.05). Limitations were that a few organisms had low prevalence making inferences about their individual significance difficult. Conclusion The majority of microorganisms identified by M-PCR were associated with active inflammation measured by biomarker positivity, indicating they are likely causative of UTIs in symptomatic patients. This includes emerging uropathogens frequently not detected by standard urine culture.

Abstract
Acinetobacter species are widely known opportunistic pathogens causing severe community and healthcare-associated infections. One such emerging pathogen, Acinetobacter colistiniresistens, is known to exhibit intrinsic resistance to colistin. We investigated the molecular characteristics of A. colistiniresistens strain C-214, isolated from the fecal sample of a healthy community member, as part of a cohort study being conducted in Segamat, Malaysia. Comparison of the whole genome sequence of C-214 with other A. colistiniresistens sequences retrieved from the NCBI database showed 95% sequence identity or more with many of the genome sequences representing that species. Use of the Galleria mellonella killing assay showed that C-214 was pathogenic in this model infection system. The strain C-214 had a colistin and polymyxin B MIC of 32 and 16 mg/L, respectively. Besides, it was resistant to cefotaxime, amikacin, and tetracycline and showed moderate biofilm-producing ability. Different genes associated with virulence or resistance to major classes of antibiotics were detected. We observed mutations in lpxA/C/D in C-214 and other A. colistiniresistens strains as probable causes of colistin resistance, but the biological effects of these mutations require further investigation. This study provides genomic insights into A. colistiniresistens, a potentially pathogenic bacterium isolated from a community member and notes the public health threat it may pose.

Acinetobacter baumannii adaptation to the host pH microenvironment is mediated by allelic variation in a single residue of BauA protein. PNAS NEXUS 2023; 2:pgad079. [PMID: 37065616 PMCID: PMC10098034 DOI: 10.1093/pnasnexus/pgad079] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/06/2022] [Revised: 02/20/2023] [Accepted: 02/28/2023] [Indexed: 04/18/2023]
Abstract
Acinetobacter baumannii has been listed as one of the most critical pathogens in nosocomial infections; however, the key genes and mechanisms to adapt to the host microenvironment lack in-depth understanding. In this study, a total of 76 isolates (from 8 to 12 isolates per patient, spanning 128 to 188 days) were longitudinally collected from eight patients to investigate the within-host evolution of A. baumannii. A total of 70 within-host mutations were identified, 80% of which were nonsynonymous, indicating the important role of positive selection. Several evolutionary strategies of A. baumannii to increase its potential to adapt to the host microenvironment were identified, including hypermutation and recombination. Six genes were mutated in isolates from two or more patients, including two TonB-dependent receptor genes (bauA and BJAB07104_RS00665). In particular, the siderophore receptor gene bauA was mutated in multiple isolates from four patients with three MLST types, and all mutations were at amino acid 391 in ligand-binding sites. With 391T or 391A, BauA was more strongly bound to siderophores, which promoted the iron-absorption activity of A. baumannii at acidic or neutral pH, respectively. Through the A/T mutation at site 391 of BauA, A. baumannii displayed two reversible phases to adapt to distinct pH microenvironments. In conclusion, we demonstrated the comprehensive within-host evolutionary dynamics of A. baumannii, and discovered a key mutation of BauA site 391 as a genetic switch to adapt to different pH values, which may represent a model in the pathogen evolutionary adaption of the host microenvironment.

Abstract
Background Different sequence types of Acinetobacter baumannii (AB) have their own epidemiological characteristics, drug resistance, and toxicity. Methods AB bloodstream infection (BSI) in the First Affiliated Hospital of Medical College of Zhejiang University from January 2012 to December 2017 were classified by multilocus sequence typing. Clinical data of patients were retrospectively analyzed, drug resistance and toxicity were respectively studied by drug sensitivity and complement killing tests. Results 247 unduplicated AB strains were collected, and ST191/195/208, the main epidemic dominant strain, accounted for 70.9%. Patients with ST191/195/208 on infection had higher white blood cell (10.8 vs 8.9, p = 0.004), neutrophil% (89.5 vs 86.9, p = 0.005), neutrophil count (9.5 vs 7.1, p = 0.021), D-dimer (6.7 vs 3.8, p = 0.000), total bilirubin (27.0 vs 21.5, p = 0.038), pronatriuretic peptide (324 vs 164, p = 0.042), C-reactive protein (82.5 vs 56.3, p = 0.048), clinical pulmonary infection score (CPIS; 7.33 ± 2.30 vs 6.50 ± 2.72, p = 0.045), and acute physiology and chronic health evaluation-II (APACHE-II; 19.620 ± 5.1850 vs 17.648 ± 6.1251, p = 0.011). Patients with ST191/195/208 had more complications, including pulmonary infection (p = 0.041), septic shock (p = 0.009), and multiple organ failure (p = 0.019). Patients with ST191/195/208 had higher 3 day mortality (24.6% vs 13.9%, p = 0.043), 14 day mortality (46.8% vs 26.8%, p = 0.003), and 28 day mortality (55.0% vs 32.4%, p = 0.001). ST191/195/208 strains had higher drug resistance to most antibiotics, and higher survival rate at 90% normal serum concentration (p < 0.001). Conclusion ST191/195/208 strains predominate in the hospital and prevails in patients with severe infections with increased multidrug antimicrobial resistance and excessive mortality compared to any other AB stains.

Abstract
Acinetobacter baumannii (A. baumannii) is now considered a highly resistant pathogen to various types of antibiotics. Therefore, tracking the source of its prevalence and continuous control is crucial. This study aimed to determine antibiotic resistance and perform various molecular typing methods on clinical isolates of A. baumannii isolated from hospitalized burn patients in Shahid Motahari Burn Hospital, Tehran, Iran. Hospital isolates were confirmed by phenotypic and molecular methods. Then the sensitivity to different antibiotics was determined using the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) method. In order to perform molecular typing, three-locus dual assay multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR), multiple-locus variable-number tandem repeat analysis (MLVA), and multilocus sequence typing (MLST) methods were used. Among the 60 isolates collected, the frequencies of multidrug-resistant (MDR) and extensively drug-resistant (XDR) isolates were 90 and 10%, respectively. The most effective antibiotics were colistin with 100% and tigecycline with 83.33% sensitivity. Isolates were 100% resistant to piperacillin/tazobactam and cephalosporins, and 68.3% were resistant to carbapenem. The results of multiplex PCR showed five groups that international clone I (IC I) and IC II were the most common. The MLVA method identified 34 MLVA types (MTs), 5 clusters, and 25 singletons. Multilocus sequence typing results for tigecycline-resistant isolates showed seven different sequence types (STs). Increasing antibiotic resistance in A. baumannii isolates requires careful management to control and prevent the occurrence of the pre-antibiotic era. The results of this study confirm that the population structure of A. baumannii isolates has a high diversity. More extensive studies are needed in Iran to better understand the epidemiology of A. baumannii.

Abstract
Chryseobacterium indologenes is a non-glucose-fermenting Gram-negative bacillus. This emerging multidrug resistant opportunistic nosocomial pathogen can cause severe infections in neonates and immunocompromised patients. This study aimed to present the first detailed draft genome sequence of a multidrug-resistant C. indologenes strain isolated from the cerebrospinal fluid of an infant hospitalized at the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit of Brazilian Tertiary Hospital. We first analyzed the susceptibility of C. indologenes strain to different antibiotics using the VITEK 2 system. The strain demonstrated an outstanding resistance to all the antibiotic classes tested, including β-lactams, aminoglycosides, glycylcycline, and polymyxin. Next, C. indologenes was whole-genome-sequenced, annotated using Prokka and Rapid Annotation using Subsystems Technology (RAST), and screened for orthologous groups (EggNOG), gene ontology (GO), resistance genes, virulence genes, and mobile genetic elements using different software tools. The draft genome contained one circular chromosome of 4,836,765 bp with 37.32% GC content. The genomic features of the chromosome present numerous genes related to cellular processes that are essential to bacteria. The MDR C. indologenes revealed the presence of genes that corresponded to the resistance phenotypes, including genes to β-lactamases (blaIND–13, blaCIA–3, blaTEM–116, blaOXA–209, blaVEB–15), quinolone (mcbG), tigecycline (tet(X6)), and genes encoding efflux pumps which confer resistance to aminoglycosides (RanA/RanB), and colistin (HlyD/TolC). Amino acid substitutions related to quinolone resistance were observed in GyrA (S83Y) and GyrB (L425I and K473R). A mutation that may play a role in the development of colistin resistance was detected in lpxA (G68D). Chryseobacterium indologenes isolate harbored 19 virulence factors, most of which were involved in infection pathways. We identified 13 Genomic Islands (GIs) and some elements associated with one integrative and conjugative element (ICEs). Other elements linked to mobile genetic elements (MGEs), such as insertion sequence (ISEIsp1), transposon (Tn5393), and integron (In31), were also present in the C. indologenes genome. Although plasmids were not detected, a ColRNAI replicon type and the most resistance genes detected in singletons were identified in unaligned scaffolds. We provided a wide range of information toward the understanding of the genomic diversity of C. indologenes, which can contribute to controlling the evolution and dissemination of this pathogen in healthcare settings.

Abstract
Carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAB) is an opportunistic pathogen that has become a global threat. The dissemination of global clone 2 (GC2) CRAB has been well documented. Oxford sequence type (ST) 208 is one of the most prevalent lineages of A. baumannii GC2; however, its evolution and phylogeny are unclear. We collected 45 representative ST208 isolates from 14 cities in China between 1999 and 2018. Moreover, 411 ST208 genome sequences were downloaded from the GenBank database for comparison. The global ST208 phylogeny showed that ST208 might have originated from North America and subsequently evolved into two clades. Notably, the widespread OXA-23-producing ST208 A. baumannii was correlated with the transposon structure and dynamics of replicative transposition, and the Tn2009 tandem structure of five copies of blaOXA-23 and potential circular intermediate of Tn2009 were first detected. Furthermore, 15 Chinese ST208 isolates carried GR25 pABTJ1-like plasmids, which contained blaOXA-23 and have only been found in China in the last decade. In conclusion, our work suggests that replicative transposition contributes to the evolution and transmission of OXA-23-producing ST208 A. baumannii and highlights the new challenges posed by the epidemiological surveillance of globally distributed clonal groups via whole genome sequencing. IMPORTANCE ST208 as one of the most prevalent lineages of CRAB has caused several difficult-to-treat infections and outbreaks around the world. However, few studies have focused on evaluating the genetic background differences of ST208 A. baumannii isolated from very distant geographic regions. A comprehensive genomic analysis of 456 clinical strains of ST208 A. baumannii from a wide temporal and geographic range was performed in this study. Moreover, the mechanisms leading to the horizontal transfer of blaOXA-23 in ST208 A. baumannii are poorly understood. We first describe experimental evidence of the potential circular intermediate of Tn2009, and the Tn2009 tandem structure of five copies of blaOXA-23 was first detected. The interbacterial transfer of genetic elements carrying resistance to last-line antibiotic carbapenems highlights the essential need to enhance epidemiologic surveillance.

Abstract
Polymyxin-based combination therapy is commonly used to treat carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAB) infections. In the present study, the bactericidal effect of polymyxin B and minocycline combination was tested in three CRAB strains containing blaOXA-23 by the checkerboard assay and in vitro dynamic pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics (PK/PD) model. The combination showed synergistic or partial synergistic effect (fractional inhibitory concentration index ≤0.56) on the tested strains in checkboard assays. The antibacterial activity was enhanced in the combination group compared with either monotherapy in in vitro PK/PD model. The combination regimen (simultaneous infusion of 0.75 mg/kg polymyxin B and 100 mg minocycline via 2 h infusion) reduced bacterial colony counts by 0.9–3.5 log10 colony forming units per milliliter (CFU/mL) compared with either drug alone at 24 h. In conclusion, 0.75 mg/kg polymyxin B combined with 100 mg minocycline via 2 h infusion could be a promising treatment option for CRAB bloodstream infections.
