(Submitter supplied) Abstract of associated manuscript: Daptomycin is the first of a new class of cyclic lipopeptide antibiotics used against multidrug-resistant Gram-positive pathogens. The proposed mechanism of action involves disruption of the functional integrity of the bacterial membrane in a Ca2+-dependent manner. We have used transcriptional profiling to demonstrate that treatment of Bacillus subtilis with daptomycin strongly induces the lia operon including the autoregulatory LiaRS two-component system (homologous to Staphylococcus aureus VraSR). more...

(Submitter supplied) Daptomycin is a lipopeptide antibiotic that has recently been approved for treatment of Gram-positive bacterial infections. The mode of action of daptomycin is not yet entirely clear. To further understand the mechanism transcriptomic analysis of changes in gene expression in daptomycin-treated Staphylococcus aureus was carried out. The expression profile indicated that cell wall stress stimulon member genes (B. more...

(Submitter supplied) Abstract of associated manuscript: The Bacillus subtilis extracytoplasmic function (ECF) sigma(M) factor is activated by cell envelope stress elicited by antibiotics, and by acid, heat, ethanol and superoxide stresses. Here, we have used several complementary approaches to identify genes controlled by sigma(M). In many cases, expression is only partially dependent on sigma(M) because of both overlapping promoter recognition with other ECF sigma factors and the presence of additional promoter elements. more...

(Submitter supplied) Clostridioides difficile is a Gram-positive opportunistic pathogen that results in 250,000 infections, 12,000 deaths, and $1 billion in medical costs in the US each year. There has been recent interest in using a daptomycin analog, Surotomycin, to treat C. difficile infections. Daptomycin interacts with both phosphatidylglycerol and Lipid II to disrupt the membrane and halt peptidoglycan synthesis. C. difficile has an unusual lipid membrane composition as it has no phosphatidylserine or phosphatidylethanolamine, and ~50% of its membrane is composed of glycolipids, including the unique C. difficile lipid aminohexosyl-hexosyldiradylglycerol (HNHDRG). We identified a two-component system (TCS) HexRK that is required for C. difficile resistance to daptomycin. Using RNAseq we found that HexRK regulates a three gene operon of unknown function hexSDF. Based on bioinformatic predictions, hexS encodes a monogalactosyldiacylglycerol synthase, hexD encodes a polysaccharide deacetylase, and hexF encodes an MprF-like flippase. We find that deletion of hexRK leads to a 4-fold decrease in daptomycin MIC, and that deletion of hexSDF leads to an 8-16-fold decrease in daptomycin MIC. The ∆hexSDF mutant is also 4-fold less resistant to bacitracin but no other cell wall active antibiotics. Our data indicate that in the absence of HexSDF the phospholipid membrane composition is altered. In WT C. difficile the unique glycolipid, HNHDRG makes up ~17% of the lipids in the membrane. However, in a ∆hexSDF mutant, HNHDRG is completely absent. While it is unclear how HNHDRG contributes daptomycin resistance, the requirement for bacitracin resistance suggests it has a general role in cell membrane biogenesis.

(Submitter supplied) It is very important to understand the mechanisms how bacteria become tolerant towards antibiotics during clinical therapy. In a previous study we showed that increased daptomycin (DAP) tolerance of Staphylococcus aureus was due to a point mutation in pitA (inorganic phosphate transporter) that led to intracellular accumulation of both inorganic phosphate (Pi) and polyphosphate (polyP). DAP tolerance in that pitA6 mutant differs from classical resistance mechanisms as there was no increase in minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC). more...
