Fitness cost of vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium plasmids associated with hospital infection outbreaks

Journal Article Tedim, Ana P. ; Lanza, Val F. ; Rodríguez, Concepción M. ; ... - Journal of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy

Abstract Background Vancomycin resistance is mostly associated with Enterococcus faecium due to Tn1546-vanA located on narrow- and broad-host plasmids of various families. This study’s aim was to analyse the effects of acquiring Tn1546-carrying plasmids with proven epidemicity in different bacterial host backgrounds. Methods Widespread Tn1546-carrying plasmids of different families RepA_N (n = 5), Inc18 (n = 4) and/or pHTβ (n = 1), and prototype plasmids RepA_N (pRUM) and Inc18 (pRE25, pIP501) were analysed. Plasmid transferability and fitness cost were assessed using E. faecium (GE1, 64/3) and Enterococcus faecalis (JH2-2/FA202/UV202) recipient strains. Growth curves (Bioscreen C) and Relative Growth Rates were obtained in the presence/absence of vancomycin.more »« less

Genetic and metabolic signals during acute enteric bacterial infection alter the microbiota and drive progression to chronic inflammatory disease

Journal Article Kamdar, Karishma ; Khakpour, Samira ; Chen, Jingyu ; ... - Cell Host & Microbe

Chronic inflammatory disorders are thought to arise due to an interplay between predisposing host genetics and environmental factors. For example, the onset of inflammatory bowel disease is associated with enteric proteobacterial infection, yet the mechanistic basis for this association is unclear. We have shown previously that genetic defiency in TLR1 promotes acute enteric infection by the proteobacteria Yersinia enterocolitica. Examining that model further, we uncovered an altered cellular immune response that promotes the recruitment of neutrophils which in turn increases metabolism of the respiratory electron acceptor tetrathionate by Yersinia. These events drive permanent alterations in anti-commensal immunity, microbiota composition, andmore »« less

The soil microbiome influences grapevine-associated microbiota

Journal Article Zarraonaindia, Iratxe ; Owens, Sarah M. ; Weisenhorn, Pamela ; ... - mBio (Online)

Grapevine is a well-studied, economically relevant crop, whose associated bacteria could influence its organoleptic properties. In this study, the spatial and temporal dynamics of the bacterial communities associated with grapevine organs (leaves, flowers, grapes, and roots) and soils were characterized over two growing seasons to determine the influence of vine cultivar, edaphic parameters, vine developmental stage (dormancy, flowering, preharvest), and vineyard. Belowground bacterial communities differed significantly from those aboveground, and yet the communities associated with leaves, flowers, and grapes shared a greater proportion of taxa with soil communities than with each other, suggesting that soil may serve as a bacterialmore »« less

Comparison of brush and biopsy sampling methods of the ileal pouch for assessment of mucosa-associated microbiota of human subjects

Journal Article Huse, Susan M. ; Young, Vincent B. ; Morrison, Hilary G. ; ... - Microbiome

Mucosal biopsy is the most common sampling technique used to assess microbial communities associated with the intestinal mucosa. Biopsies disrupt the epithelium and can be associated with complications such as bleeding. Biopsies sample a limited area of the mucosa, which can lead to potential sampling bias. In contrast to the mucosal biopsy, the mucosal brush technique is less invasive and provides greater mucosal coverage, and if it can provide equivalent microbial community data, it would be preferable to mucosal biopsies. Results: We compared microbial samples collected from the intestinal mucosa using either a cytology brush or mucosal biopsy forceps. Wemore »« less
