Pseudomonas aeruginosa modulates alginate biosynthesis and type VI secretion system in two critically ill COVID-19 patients

Jiuxin Qu et al.

Summary: Our study suggests that SARS-CoV-2 infection can lead to genetic adaptation of bacterial pathogens, promoting chronic infections. The adapted bacteria exhibit characteristics such as excessive biofilm formation and reduced virulence, enabling them to evade immune clearance. This highlights the importance of understanding the lung microenvironment post-virus infections and superinfection mechanism in COVID-19 patients.

Essential functions of chaperones and adaptors of protein secretion systems in Gram-negative bacteria

Kevin Manera et al.

Summary: Protein secretion systems are vital for bacteria to interact with their environment through secreted toxic effectors. Accessory chaperone and adaptor proteins are essential for the proper folding and stability of effectors during the secretion process. Understanding the functions of these accessory proteins can lead to custom design of cargo effectors for biotechnological applications.

The P. aeruginosa effector Tse5 forms membrane pores disrupting the membrane potential of intoxicated bacteria

Amaia Gonzalez-Magana et al.

Summary: This study reveals the molecular mechanism of Tse5-CT, the toxic product of the Pseudomonas aeruginosa T6SS. Tse5-CT is a pore-forming toxin that depolarizes the bacterial membrane, leading to bacterial death. This finding highlights the importance of membrane depolarization as a competitive strategy in polymicrobial environments.

The population genetics of pathogenicEscherichia coli

Erick Denamur et al.

Summary: Escherichia coli, a commensal of the vertebrate gut and an opportunistic pathogen, has evolved virulence mainly through acquiring virulence genes on mobile elements in a specific chromosomal background. The emergence of stable and cosmopolitan lineages of pathogenic E. coli reflects an optimization of strain fitness through interactions between virulence determinants and the rest of the genome, with few lineages responsible for pathologies compared to the diversity of commensal strains.

Loss of a pyoverdine secondary receptor in Pseudomonas aeruginosa results in a fitter strain suitable for population invasion

Jaime Gonzalez et al.

Summary: The rapid emergence of antibiotic resistant bacterial pathogens is a critical problem in healthcare, requiring the development of novel treatments. Recent research suggests that manipulating the uptake of public goods instead of their production could lead to the development of "Trojan horse" candidates for infiltrating pathogen populations.

Novel Molecular Markers Linked to Pseudomonas aeruginosa Epidemic High-Risk Clones

Wedad Nageeb et al.

Summary: The study investigates the global success of high-risk clones of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and identifies a novel panel of molecular markers associated with these clones, including resistance markers and chromosomal variants, highlighting the importance of applying more infection-control precautions in identifying risk-associated markers during molecular surveillance.

Pseudomonas aeruginosa T6SS-mediated molybdate transport contributes to bacterial competition during anaerobiosis

Tietao Wang et al.

Summary: The Type VI secretion system (T6SS) in Gram-negative bacteria serves as a versatile protein export machinery for translocating effectors into target cells, promoting bacterial survival in harmful environments. This study demonstrates that Pseudomonas aeruginosa H2-T6SS mediates molybdate acquisition by secreting a molybdate-binding protein ModA, providing a growth advantage in bacterial competition under anaerobic conditions. The findings highlight the fundamental importance of T6SS in helping bacteria adapt to complex environmental conditions through metal ion uptake.

rpoS-mutation variants are selected in Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilms under imipenem pressure

Xiangke Duan et al.

Summary: This study demonstrated that antibiotic treatment of biofilm-related P. aeruginosa infections could induce a hyperbiofilm phenotype through rpoS mutation, possibly contributing to the failure of antimicrobial treatment in these infections. The evolved hyperbiofilm mutants outcompeted the ancestral strain within biofilms but not in planktonic cultures, and the mutation in rpoS gene increased intracellular c-di-GMP level and virulence in the hyperbiofilm variants.

Identification of Tse8 as a Type VI secretion system toxin from Pseudomonas aeruginosa that targets the bacterial transamidosome to inhibit protein synthesis in prey cells

Laura M. Nolan et al.

Summary: TraDIS is used to identify T6SS toxins in Pseudomonas aeruginosa, leading to the discovery of Tse8 which targets the transamidosome complex in target cells to inhibit protein synthesis. This study expands the range of cellular components targeted by T6SS and validates the global genomics approach for identifying T6SS toxins in T6SS-encoding bacteria.
