Title: Bioprospecting saline gradient of a Wildlife Sanctuary for bacterial diversity and antimicrobial activities
Antibiotic-resistant bacteria are becoming a global crisis, causing death of thousands of people and significant economic impact. The discovery of novel antibiotics is crucial to saving lives and reducing healthcare costs. To address the antibiotic-resistant crisis, in collaboration the Small World Initiative, which aims to crowdsource novel antibiotic discovery, this study aimed to identify antimicrobial producing bacteria and bacterial diversity in the soil of the Stimpson Wildlife Sanctuary, an inland area with a soil salt gradient.  more » « less

    ABSTRACT Antibiotic-resistant bacteria and the spread of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) pose a serious risk to human and veterinary health. While many studies focus on the movement of live antibiotic-resistant bacteria to the environment, it is unclear whether extracellular ARGs (eARGs) from dead cells can transfer to live bacteria to facilitate the evolution of antibiotic resistance in nature. Here, we use eARGs from dead, antibiotic-resistant Pseudomonas stutzeri cells to track the movement of eARGs to live P. stutzeri cells via natural transformation, a mechanism of horizontal gene transfer involving the genomic integration of eARGs. In sterile, antibiotic-free agricultural soil, we manipulated the eARG concentration, soil moisture, and proximity to eARGs. We found that transformation occurred in soils inoculated with just 0.25 μg of eDNA g −1 soil, indicating that even low concentrations of soil eDNA can facilitate transformation (previous estimates suggested ∼2 to 40 μg eDNA g −1 soil). When eDNA was increased to 5 μg g −1 soil, there was a 5-fold increase in the number of antibiotic-resistant P. stutzeri cells. We found that eARGs were transformed under soil moistures typical of terrestrial systems (5 to 30% gravimetric water content) but inhibited at very high soil moistures (>30%). Overall, this work demonstrates that dead bacteria and their eARGs are an overlooked path to antibiotic resistance. More generally, the spread of eARGs in antibiotic-free soil suggests that transformation allows genetic variants to establish in the absence of antibiotic selection and that the soil environment plays a critical role in regulating transformation. IMPORTANCE Bacterial death can release eARGs into the environment. Agricultural soils can contain upwards of 10 9 ARGs g −1 soil, which may facilitate the movement of eARGs from dead to live bacteria through a mechanism of horizontal gene transfer called natural transformation. Here, we track the spread of eARGs from dead, antibiotic-resistant Pseudomonas stutzeri cells to live antibiotic-susceptible P. stutzeri cells in sterile agricultural soil. Transformation increased with the abundance of eARGs and occurred in soils ranging from 5 to 40% gravimetric soil moisture but was lowest in wet soils (>30%). Transformants appeared in soil after 24 h and persisted for up to 15 days even when eDNA concentrations were only a fraction of those found in field soils. Overall, our results show that natural transformation allows eARGs to spread and persist in antibiotic-free soils and that the biological activity of eDNA after bacterial death makes environmental eARGs a public health concern.

    The global rise of antimicrobial resistance has intensified efforts in bioprospecting, with researchers increasingly exploring unique marine environments for novel antimicrobials. In line with this trend, our study focused on bacteria isolated from the unique microbiome of crustose coralline algae (CCA), which has yet to be investigated for antimicrobial discovery. In the present work, bacteria were isolated from a CCA collected from Varadero Reef located in Cartagena Bay, Colombia. After performing antimicrobial assays against antibiotic-resistant human and marine pathogens, three isolates were selected for genome sequencing using the Oxford Nanopore technology. Genome mining of the high-quality assemblies revealed 115 putative biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs) and identified genes in relevant biosynthetic pathways across the three genomes. Nonetheless, we hypothesize that the biosynthesis of antimicrobial compounds results from the expression of undescribed BGCs. Further analysis revealed the absence of genes pertaining to the synthesis of coral larvae settling molecule tetrabromopyrrole, commonly produced by CCA-associated bacteria. We also discuss how differential representation of gene functions between the three isolates may be attributed to the distinct ecological niches they occupy within the CCA. This study provides valuable resources for future research aimed at the discovery of novel antimicrobials, particularly in the face of the antibiotic-resistance global crisis, and highlights the potential of specialized marine environments like CCA.

    According to the CDC, there are more than 2.8 million antibiotic resistant infections occurring in the United States each year, and more than 35,000 people die as a result (CDC 2019). Furthermore, the CDC classifies a group of bacteria known as ESKAPE pathogens as six emerging antibiotic-resistant pathogens that are difficult to eradicate with current antibiotics. Our study aims to identify and characterize soil-derived microorganisms with the potential to produce antimicrobial compounds effective against safe relatives of ESKAPE pathogens, with the goal of translating these findings to combat their pathogenic counterparts. We hypothesize that bacteria identified from the soil will inhibit the growth of the following nosocomial associated safe relatives Bacillus subtilis for E. faecium, Staphylococcus epidermidis for S. aureus, Escherichia coli for Klebsiella pneumoniae, Acinetobacter baylyi for A. baumannii, Pseudomonas putida for P. aeruginosa, and Enterobacter aerogenes for Enterobacter species. To test our hypothesis, soil samples were collected from Fayetteville State University (FSU) campus and serially diluted onto LB agar plates. Sixty-three distinct colonies were isolated and screened against non-pathogenic ESKAPE safe relatives. Of the 63 Fayetteville State University soil isolates (FSIs) screened, 12 (19%) exhibited antimicrobial activity against at least one of the six ESKAPE safe relatives, with all 12 inhibiting Acinetobacter baylyi and only FSI 15 demonstrating broad-spectrum inhibition. Characterization assays revealed that 11 of the 12 isolates were Gram-negative, catalase-positive, and motile; the single Gram-positive isolate (FSI 4) was catalase-negative and non-motile. All isolates displayed resistance to penicillin, while most remained susceptible to tetracycline and ciprofloxacin. These findings support our hypothesis that soil-derived bacteria can produce putative antimicrobial compounds effective against non-pathogenic ESKAPE safe relatives. This study underscores the potential of soil microbiota on the campus of Fayetteville State University as a source of novel antimicrobial agents capable of inhibiting antibiotic resistant ESKAPE pathogens and warrant further investigation into their therapeutic potential

    ABSTRACT Bacterial growth and metabolic rates are often closely related. However, under antibiotic selection, a paradox in this relationship arises: antibiotic efficacy decreases when bacteria are metabolically dormant, yet antibiotics select for resistant cells that grow fastest during treatment. That is, antibiotic selection counterintuitively favors bacteria with fast growth but slow metabolism. Despite this apparent contradiction, antibiotic resistant cells have historically been characterized primarily in the context of growth, whereas the extent of analogous changes in metabolism is comparatively unknown. Here, we observed that previously evolved antibiotic-resistant strains exhibited a unique relationship between growth and metabolism whereby nutrient utilization became more efficient, regardless of the growth rate. To better understand this unexpected phenomenon, we used a simplified model to simulate bacterial populations adapting to sub-inhibitory antibiotic selection through successive bottlenecking events. Simulations predicted that sub-inhibitory bactericidal antibiotic concentrations could select for enhanced metabolic efficiency, defined based on nutrient utilization: drug-adapted cells are able to achieve the same biomass while utilizing less substrate, even in the absence of treatment. Moreover, simulations predicted that restoring metabolic efficiency would re-sensitize resistant bacteria exhibiting metabolic-dependent resistance; we confirmed this result using adaptive laboratory evolutions ofEscherichia coliunder carbenicillin treatment. Overall, these results indicate that metabolic efficiency is under direct selective pressure during antibiotic treatment and that differences in evolutionary context may determine both the efficacy of different antibiotics and corresponding re-sensitization approaches. IMPORTANCEThe sustained emergence of antibiotic-resistant pathogens combined with the stalled drug discovery pipelines highlights the critical need to better understand the underlying evolution mechanisms of antibiotic resistance. To this end, bacterial growth and metabolic rates are often closely related, and resistant cells have historically been characterized exclusively in the context of growth. However, under antibiotic selection, antibiotics counterintuitively favor cells with fast growth, and slow metabolism. Through an integrated approach of mathematical modeling and experiments, this study thereby addresses the significant knowledge gap of whether antibiotic selection drives changes in metabolism that complement, and/or act independently, of antibiotic resistance phenotypes.

    Antibiotic resistance is a formidable global threat. Wastewater is a contributing factor to the prevalence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria and genes in the environment. There is increased interest evident from research trends in exploring nanoparticles for the remediation of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Cobalt oxide (Co3O4) nanoparticles have various technological, biomedical, and environmental applications. Beyond the environmental remediation applications of degradation or adsorption of dyes and organic pollutants, there is emerging research interest in the environmental remediation potential of Co3O4 nanoparticles and its nanocomposites on antibiotic-resistant and/or pathogenic bacteria. This review focuses on the recent trends and advances in remediation using Co3O4 nanoparticles and its nanocomposites on antibiotic-resistant or pathogenic bacteria from wastewater. Additionally, challenges and future directions that need to be addressed are discussed.
