AmiA and AliA peptide ligands are secreted by Klebsiella pneumoniae and inhibit growth of Streptococcus pneumoniae Janine Lux, Lalaina Holivololona, Raquel San Millan Gutierrez, Markus. Chem. assembled the genomes of S. pneumoniae strains D39, R6 and ATCC 17619 and provided the contig files. The effect of AmiA and AliA peptides on suppressing growth appears to be specific to pneumococci and widespread within this species, including antibiotic-resistant strains. Lucy J. Hathaway. J. Ophthalmic Inflamm. Concentrations of peptide ranged from 0 to 0.5 mg/ml. https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.0702377104 (2007). This made statistical analysis difficult to perform. 187, 589596. Springer Nature remains neutral with regard to jurisdictional claims in published maps and institutional affiliations. [2] At exponential growth phase OD600nm of 0.5, the analysis timepoint for peptide extraction, K. pneumoniae cells were stained using the LIVE/DEAD BacLight assay kit (Thermo Fisher Scientific). 5. Dis. Unmodified synthetic peptides (Thermo Fisher Scientific) were used. Appl. Visual acuity (VA) test results were as follows: hand motions (HM; n=14/38, 37%), light perception (LP; n=12/38, 32%), no light perception (NLP; n=7/38, 18%), counting fingers (4/38, 11%), and undetermined VA in one 2-year-old patient. A limitation of the in silico predictions is that we did not validate the protein structures and binding pocket of the ligands experimentally. Early detection and treatment are the best approaches to improving final visual outcomes in patients with endophthalmitis. These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our site. Endophthalmitis caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae. In the meantime, to ensure continued support, we are displaying the site without styles However, vancomycin is regularly tested by the laboratory department of our hospital. Streptococcus pneumoniae (pneumococcus) is aGram-positive, spherical bacteria. We previously identified peptides AKTIKITQTR, FNEMQPIVDRQ, and AIQSEKARKHN as ligands of its substrate binding proteins AmiA, AliA, and AliB, respectively12. Whole Genome Shotgun project has been deposited at DDBJ/ENA/GenBank under accessions JAMLJP000000000 (S. pneumoniae ATCC 17619), JAMLJQ000000000 (S. pneumoniae R6), and JAMLJR000000000 (S. pneumoniae D39). However, a comparison of the sequence of AmiA and AliA in streptococci which did and did not respond to the peptides, along with protein structure predictions, allowed us to gain insight into the location of the peptide-binding sites. Before S. pneumoniae was cultured, intravitreal antibiotics included vancomycin with either ceftazidime or amikacin. This work was funded by grant number 192067 from the Swiss National Science Foundation to L.J.H. Nasopharyngeal carriage of Klebsiella pneumoniae and other Gram-negative bacilli in pneumonia-prone age groups in Semarang, Indonesia.

Without proteins, the cell walls of the bacteria are weakened and eventually destroyed, leading to the death of the bacteria. Search parameters were as follows: precursor and fragment mass tolerances of 10ppm and 0.4Da, isotope error on first and second isotope, strict trypsin cleavage rule with a maximum of two missed cleavages per peptide, oxidation of Met and protein N-terminal acetylation as variable and fixed carbamidomethylation on Cys modifications. After positive cultures of S. pneumoniae isolates and antibiotic susceptibility testing results were obtained, intravitreal vancomycin was administered. 6, 32813294. Vaccines 8, 132. https://doi.org/10.3390/vaccines8010132 (2020). The lacrimal sac findings did not indicate dacrocystitis in our series. We found that mutation in AmiA binding site or AmiA protein truncation correlate with loss of growth inhibition by AmiA peptide. https://doi.org/10.1016/S0140-6736(09)61114-4 (2009). By multiple sequence alignments and protein and peptide binding site predictions, for AmiA we have identified the location of an amino acid in the putative binding site whose mutation appears to result in loss of response to the peptide. For AliA protein we could not identify a single amino acid change causing loss of binding although we did note amino acid changes in the AliA protein of S. pneumoniae ATCC 17619, S. pseudopneumoniae and S. mitis compared to D39. In addition, intravitreal dexamethasone was administered to eight eyes (21%) during primary treatment.

Pneumococcal Ami-AliA/AliB oligopeptide permease is an ABC transporter involved in oligopeptide uptake, which is hypothesized to play a role in sensing changes in environmental conditions leading to modulation of gene expression15 and playing a role in nasopharyngeal colonization16. Methods 14, 513520. S. pneumoniae endophthalmitis was diagnosed in 38 eyes of 38 patients. However, in individuals withcompromised immune systems, such as elderly adults and young children, the bacterium may becomepathogenicand spread to other locations to cause disease. Bacteria pellets were re-suspended in 50l lysis buffer (8M Urea/100mM TrisHCl pH8, with Roche complete protease inhibitor cocktail) and sonicated with two short bursts of 5s at 10s intervals on ice. We are grateful to the following people for providing pneumococcal strains: Jeffrey Weiser (New York University, USA) for D39, Philippe Moreillon (Centre Hospitalier Universitaire Vaudois, Switzerland) for R6, Ralf Reinert (National Reference Center for Pneumococcus, Germany) for reference strains and Peter Hermans (UMC Utrecht, Netherlands) for the D39 mutant.

S. pneumoniae is generally sensitive to vancomycin, penicillin, ceftriaxone, and fluoroquinolone. We also showed that co-culture with K. pneumoniae suppressed the growth of S. pneumoniae. The need for a higher number of intravitreal injections was significantly associated with a poor final VA7. This amino acid was also changed in S. mitis. Growth of both S. pneumoniae strain R6 and S. mitis was unaffected by the AmiA peptide (Table 2). Experts refer to them as Gram-negative, encapsulated, and nonmobile bacteria. In S. pneumoniae R6, the strain most closely related to S. pneumoniae D39, the only amino acid change for AmiA was detected at position 54: serine to arginine, supporting the prediction from Fig. Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute. AliA peptide suppressed the growth of D39 but this effect was partially reversed in the D39AmiA mutant (Supplementary Fig. https://doi.org/10.1128/JB.182.6.1600-1608.2000 (2000). Further studies are necessary to ensure better prevention and management of endophthalmitis caused by S. pneumoniae; this could include preventing he emergence of endophthalmitis and examining the effectiveness of prompt, aggressive medical and surgical interventions for the management of endophthalmitis.

Of the three patients whose affected eyes achieved VA of 20/400 or better, one patient underwent removal of an anterior chamber IOFB (VA of 20/20), and patients had postcataract endophthalmitis (final VA, 20/50 and 20/400). We performed 16S rDNA analysis on broncho-alveolar lavage fluid (BALF) for 32 children with tracheomalacia (C group), pneumonia infected with Streptococcus pneumoniae (S. pneumoniae) (D1 group) or Mycoplasma pneumoniae (M. pneumoniae) (D2 group). Most peptides do not induce conformational changes on their partner upon binding and tend to bind in the largest pockets available on the protein surface22 and for OppA, peptides it binds are buried by the Venus flytrap mechanism23. An identification was considered successful at the species level when the score exceeded 2.0. Podschun, R. & Ullmann, U. Klebsiella spp. Chen, K. J. et al. Commun. The median follow-up interval was 21months (range, 1 to 85months). Although fluoroquinolones, such as levofloxacin and moxifloxacin, are widely used in the treatment or prophylaxis of endophthalmitis, some S. pneumoniae isolates have been reported to still be resistant to these treatments9,12.

Streptococcus pneumoniae endophthalmitis is clinically more severe, more difficult to treat, and carry a higher risk of vision loss, evisceration, or enucleation. Swiss clinical isolates of commensal streptococci S. pseudopneumoniae (410.05) and S. mitis (3308.46) were sequenced and analysed as described previously and the sequence data submitted under the study accession number PRJEB2340 with the sample accession numbers SAMEA1022899 (410.05) and SAMEA1022891 (3308.46)30. Despite these limitations, this study provided data on antibiotic susceptibility patterns and visual outcomes of endophthalmitis caused by S. pneumoniae. J. Bacteriol. AmiA and AliA peptide ligand inhibited growth of Swiss clinical isolates of S. pneumoniae with strain numbers (a) 111.46, (b) 202.58, (c) 208.41 and (d) 307.17. The protein concentration was measured by Qubit Protein Assay (Invitrogen). In conclusion, the most common cause in S. pneumoniae endophthalmitis infection was postcataract status. Google Scholar. In terms of sex, 25 of the patients (66%) were male and 13 patients (34%) were female. The samples were acidified to a concentration of 0.1% in formic acid. Here, we have shown that such peptides are released by K. pneumoniae during culture, compatible with our hypothesis that this is a novel route of interspecies bacterial communication. BLAST analysis indicated that AmiA and AliA proteins are highly conserved between pneumococcal strains. Novel group of leaderless multipeptide bacteriocins from gram-positive bacteria. All analyses were performed using standard methods. These sequences match ribosomal proteins of multiple bacterial species, including Klebsiella pneumoniae.
