RESUMO

Melioidosis, a human infectious disease with a high mortality rate in many tropical countries, is caused by the pathogen Burkholderia pseudomallei (B. pseudomallei). The function of the B. pseudomallei sigma S (RpoS) transcription factor in survival during the stationary growth phase and conditions of oxidative stress is well documented. Besides the rpoS, bioinformatics analysis of B. pseudomallei genome showed the existence of two rpoN genes, named rpoN1 and rpoN2. In this study, by using the mouse macrophage cell line RAW264.7 as a model of infection, the involvement of B. pseudomallei RpoS and RpoN2 in the invasion, intracellular survival leading to the reduction in multinucleated giant cell (MNGC) formation of RAW264.7 cell line were illustrated. We have demonstrated that the MNGC formation of RAW264.7 cell was dependent on a certain number of intracellular bacteria (at least 5 × 104). In addition, the same MNGC formation (15%) observed in RAW264.7 cells infected with either B. pseudomallei wild type with multiplicity of infection (MOI) 2 or RpoN2 mutant (∆rpoN2) with MOI 10 or RpoS mutant (∆rpoS) with MOI 100. The role of B. pseudomallei RpoS and RpoN2 in the regulation of type III secretion system on bipB-bipC gene expression was also illustrated in this study.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: To characterise the clinical features of Acinetobacter baumannii infections and investigate the phylogenetic structure and transmission dynamics of A. baumannii in Vietnam. METHODS: Between 2019 and 2020, a surveillance of A. baumannii (AB) infections was conducted at a tertiary hospital in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. Risk factors for in-hospital mortality were analysed using logistic regressions. Whole-genome sequence data were used to characterise genomic species, sequence types (STs), antimicrobial resistance genes, surface antigens, and phylogenetic relatedness of AB isolates. RESULTS: Eighty-four patients with AB infections were enrolled in the study, 96% of whom were hospital-acquired. Half of the AB isolates were identified from ICU-admitted patients, while the remaining isolates were from non-ICU patients. The overall in-hospital mortality was 56%, with associated risk factors including advanced age, ICU stay, exposure to mechanical ventilation/central venous catheterization, pneumonia as source of AB infection, prior use of linezolid/aminoglycosides, and AB treatment with colistin-based therapy. Nearly 91% of isolates were carbapenem-resistant; 92% were multidrug-resistant; and 6% were colistin-resistant. ST2, ST571, and ST16 were the three dominant carbapenem-resistant A. baumannii (CRAB) genotypes, exhibiting distinct AMR gene profiles. Phylogenetic analysis of CRAB ST2 isolates together with previously published ST2 collection provided evidence of intra- and inter-hospital transmission of this clone. CONCLUSIONS: Our study highlights a high prevalence of carbapenem resistance and multidrug resistance in A. baumannii and elucidates the spread of CRAB within and between hospitals. Strengthening infection control measures and routine genomic surveillance are crucial to reducing the spread of CRAB and detecting novel pan-drug-resistant variants in a timely fashion.

RESUMO

Burkholderia pseudomallei is the causative agent of melioidosis. The complete genome sequences of this pathogen have been revealed, which explain some pathogenic mechanisms. In various hostile conditions, for example, during nitrogen and amino acid starvation, bacteria can utilize alternative sigma factors such as RpoS and RpoN to modulate genes expression for their adaptation and survival. In this study, we demonstrate that mutagenesis of rpoN2, which lies on chromosome 2 of B. pseudomallei and encodes a homologue of the sigma factor RpoN, did not alter nitrogen and amino acid utilization of the bacterium. However, introduction of B. pseudomallei rpoN2 into E. coli strain deficient for rpoN restored the ability to utilize amino acids. Moreover, comparative partial proteomic analysis of the B. pseudomallei wild type and its rpoN2 isogenic mutant was performed to elucidate its amino acids utilization property which was comparable to its function found in the complementation assay. By contrast, the rpoN2 mutant exhibited decreased katE expression at the transcriptional and translational levels. Our finding indicates that B. pseudomallei RpoN2 is involved in a specific function in the regulation of catalase E expression.
