Information of genes and codon sites that are positively selected during evolution can provide insights into the mechanisms driving antifungal resistance in <i>Candida</i>. This study aimed to create a manually curated list of genes of <i>Candida</i> spp<i>.</i> reported to be associated with antifungal resistance in literature, and further investigate the structure-function implications of positively selected genes and mutation sites. Sequence analysis of antifungal drug resistance associated gene sequences from various species and strains of <i>Candida</i> revealed that <i>ERG11</i> and <i>MRR1</i> of <i>C. albicans</i> were positively selected during evolution. Four sites in <i>ERG11</i> and two sites in <i>MRR1</i> of <i>C. albicans</i> were positively selected and associated with drug resistance. These four sites (132, 405, 450, and 464) of <i>ERG11</i> are predictive markers for azole resistance and have evolved over time. A well-characterized crystal structure of sterol-14-α-demethylase (CYP51) encoded by <i>ERG11</i> is available in PDB. Therefore, the stability of CYP51 in complex with fluconazole was evaluated using MD simulations and molecular docking studies for two mutations (Y132F and Y132H) reported to be associated with azole resistance in literature. These mutations induced high flexibility in functional motifs of CYP51. It was also observed that residues such as I304, G308, and I379 of CYP51 play a critical role in fluconazole binding affinity. The insights gained from this study can further guide drug design strategies addressing antimicrobial resistance.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":8279,"journal":{"name":"Archives of Microbiology","volume":"206 11","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2024-10-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142451127","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study examined several commercial and simplified DNA extraction methods for their suitability in isothermal downstream applications. Extracted DNA was assessed using spectrophotometry, electrophoresis, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) while its stability was inspected after five months of storage. The findings revealed variations in DNA yield, purity and integrity among the extraction methods. While extraction kits demonstrated high yield and purity, the in-house extraction techniques showed incoherent correlation between yield and purity, yet showed promise for a streamlined extraction process. The DNA acquired from all methods yielded positive amplification in PCR and LAMP. DNA extracted by kits exhibits prolonged stability than those obtained via boiling lysis. Both methods offer distinct advantages, with commercial kits providing longer stability and high-quality DNA while boiling lysis stands out for its simplicity, with shorter handling and processing periods. This study emphasizes selecting ideal extraction methods for <i>Streptococcus agalactiae</i>, in the prospect of aquaculture settings. In particular, successful LAMP reaction suggests that boiled extracts are feasible enough for detection, and suited for point-of-care (POC) testing where prompt detection of aquatic pathogens is often critical.

This study is aimed at evaluating the anti-bacterial and anti-biofilm efficacy of active-bromide against planktonic and biofilm-forming bacteria that are commonly encountered in seawater cooling systems. The results demonstrated that active-bromide at the concentration used at the power plant (1 ppm) exhibited minimal killing activity against <i>Pseudomonas aeruginosa</i> planktonic cells. The bacterial cell surface hydrophobicity assay using <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> and <i>P. aeruginosa</i> indicated that Triton-X 100 significantly decreased the hydrophobicity of planktonic cells, enhancing the susceptibility of the cells to active-bromide. Biofilm inhibition assays revealed limited efficacy of active-bromide at 1 ppm concentration, but significant inhibition at 5 ppm and 10 ppm. However, the addition of a surfactant, Triton-X 100, in combination with 1 ppm active-bromide displayed a synergistic effect, leading to significant biofilm dispersal of pre-formed <i>P. aeruginosa</i> biofilms. This observation was substantiated by epifluorescence microscopy using a live/dead bacterial assay that showed the combination treatment resulted in extensive cell death within the biofilm, as indicated by a marked increase in red fluorescence, compared to treatments with either agent alone.

The present study provides the results of the evaluation of 15 different screening methodologies (including changes in existing protocols in terms of reagent concentration, incubation temperature and time) for identifying PUFA-producing bacteria in comparison to the gold standard method (Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry), for the first time. The results determined the most effective techniques for each critical PUFA, leading to an optimized screening process that saves time and resources.
