(Submitter supplied) Antibiotic resistance (AR) is one of the greatest threats to global health and is associated with higher treatment costs, longer hospital stays, and increased mortality. Current gold standard antibiotic susceptibility tests (AST) are dependent on organism growth rates resulting in prolonged diagnostic answers for slow growing organisms. Changes in the cellular transcriptome can be instantaneous in the presence of stressors such as antibiotic pressure. more...

(Submitter supplied) The iron-binding glycoprotein lactoferrin exhibits anti-bacterial activity. To investigate the overall response of Bacillus cereus to lactoferrin, total transcriptome analyses were performed. Growth conditions were mMOD minimal medium, minimal medium plus 10 mg/ml lactoferrin, as well as minimal medium without iron source for comparison. Differential regulation of genes involved in iron acquisition as well as genes encoding enterotoxins and further virulence factors was of special interest.

(Submitter supplied) In preliminary experiments, the absence of anthrose in our genetic Sterne knockout was found to decrease pagA expression in BHI broth containing glucose (Fig 5A and B). This contrasted with the large spike in pagA expression when the Sterne antC mutant is grown in protein rich HIB media which does not contain sugars. When exogenous anthrose was added during growth in BHI broth, expression from PpagA increased in both WT (purple line in Fig 5A) and antC Sterne (purple line in Fig 5B). more...

(Submitter supplied) The formation of endospores has always been considered as the unique mode of survival and transmission of sporulating Firmicutes due to the exceptional resistance and persistence of this bacterial cell form. In this study, we investigated the behavior of a bacterial population in the late stages of an infection as well as the characteristics of the Spo- bacterial form in the B. thuringiensis/Galleria mellonella infection model. more...

(Submitter supplied) Background: The Bacillus cereus Sigma B (SigB) dependent general stress response is activated via the two-component RsbKY system, which involves a phosphate transfer from RsbK to RsbY. It has been hypothesized that the Hpr-like phosphocarrier protein (Bc1009) encoded by bc1009 in the SigB gene cluster may play a role in this transfer, thereby acting as a regulator of SigB activation. Alternatively, Bc1009 may be involved in the activation of a subset of SigB regulon members. more...

(Submitter supplied) Bacillus anthracis causes anthrax infections in mammals. Large-scale mortality resulting from the intentional release of B. anthracis spores represents a potential bioterrorism threat. Inhalational anthrax almost invariably proceeds to fatal systemic infection, characterized by massive bacteremia. A better understanding of host-pathogen interactions is urgently needed for effective treatment of this lethal disease. more...

(Submitter supplied) Bacillus cereus is the second leading cause of collective food poisoning in France. B. cereus is also associated with severe clinical infections leading to patient death in 10% of the cases. The emergence of B. cereus as a foodborne and opportunistic pathogen has intensified the need to distinguish strains of public health concern. In this work, by performing a screen on a large collection of B. cereus strains of varying pathogenic potential, we identified genetic determinants capable of discriminating B. more...

(Submitter supplied) AtxA, the master virulence regulator of Bacillus anthracis, regulates the expression of three toxins that are required for the pathogenicity of Bacillus anthracis. Recent transcriptome analyses also showed that AtxA affects a large number of genes on both chromosome and plasmid, suggesting its role as a global regulator. Its mechanism of gene regulation nor binding target in vivo was, however, not well understood. more...

(Submitter supplied) Bacterial response to nitric oxide (NO) is of major importance for bacterial survival, as NO stress is a main actor of the eukaryote immune response. Several pathogenic bacteria have developed gene regulation systems involved in detoxification and in repairing the damages caused by NO. However, bacterial mechanisms of NO resistance are poorly described for Gram positive bacteria and especially Bacillus cereus. more...

(Submitter supplied) Spores of Bacillales and Clostridiales species contain 100s of different mRNAs, and their major function in Bacillus subtilis is to provide ribonucleotides for new RNA synthesis when spores germinate. In new work, RNA was isolated from spores of five Bacillales and one Clostridioides species and relative spore mRNA levels were determined by RNA-seq. Determination of RNA levels in single spores allowed calculation of RNA nt/spore, and assuming mRNA is 3% of spore RNA allowed calculation that only ~6% of spore mRNAs were present at ≥ 1/spore. more...

(Submitter supplied) Purpose: Small regulatory RNAs (sRNAs) are short transcripts that base-pair to mRNA targets or interact with regulatory proteins. sRNA function has been extensively studied in Gram-negative bacteria; comparatively less is known about sRNAs in Firmicutes. Here we investigate two sRNAs encoded by the virulence plasmid pXO1 of Bacillus anthracis, the causative agent of anthrax. We designated the sRNAs as as “XrrA” and “XrrB” (for pXO1-encoded regulatory RNA). more...

(Submitter supplied) Purpose: Bacillus anthracis produces three regulators, AtxA, AcpA and AcpB, which control virulence gene transcription and belong to an emerging class of regulators termed ‘PCVRs’ (Phosphoenolpyruvate-dependent phosphotransferase regulation Domain-Containing Virulence Regulators). AtxA, named for its control of toxin gene expression, is the master virulence regulator and archetype PCVR. AcpA and AcpB are less well studied. more...
