Due to the metabolic versatility of A. baumannii, it can be cultured in different growth mediums; however, this can lead to genotypic and phenotypic variations. In this study, we compared phenotypic and transcriptomic changes in A. baumannii ATCC17978-VU cultured in M9 minimal media supplemented with 20 mmol/L sodium succinate and rich lysogeny broth media. Phenotypically, growth was significantly slowed, virulence in Galleria mellonella was attenuated, and susceptibility to a variety of antibiotic classes was reduced when A. baumannii ATCC17978-VU was grown in minimal media versus rich media. Transcriptomic analysis showed differential regulation of >700 genes-including those associated with energy production and ribosomal function-when the two growth conditions were compared, with the majority of the upregulated genes seen in minimal media of unknown function. This study showed that culture media has a profound effect on the phenotype and cellular workings of a bacteria, highlighting the need for more studies of pathogens like A. baumannii ATCC17978-VU in minimal media.","PeriodicalId":9381,"journal":{"name":"Canadian journal of microbiology","volume":" ","pages":"1-8"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143000709","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The quorum-sensing proteins LasI and LasR of the Las system, alongside the swarming motility protein BswR, play a crucial role in the biofilm-mediated antibiotic resistance phenomenon. In this in silico study, LasI, LasR, and BswR were the prime targets for binding studies by promising drug candidates like linalool, ferutinin, citronellal, and carvacrol. These monoterpenoid compounds are carefully considered for this study due to their reported anti-microbial activity. Among all, carvacrol exhibited the highest binding energies with LasI (-5.932 kcal/mol), LasR (-7.469 kcal/mol), and BswR (-4.42 kcal/mol). Furthermore, the MMGBSA scores between carvacrol and LasI, LasR, and BswR individually are -33.14, -54.22, and -41.86 kcal/mol, which further corroborated the strong binding. During 100 ns of simulation, the ligand binds to the active sites of these proteins through the H-bonds at Ile107 of LasI, Tyr47 of LasR, and Leu57 of BswR. In addition, the root-mean-square deviation values of the ligand-protein complex are within the appropriate range of less than 5 Å. Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism, Excretion, and Toxicity analysis confirmed that carvacrol has the most negligible toxicity to mammalian cells. Hence, this finding is the first report to show that carvacrol can inhibit the Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilms.","PeriodicalId":9381,"journal":{"name":"Canadian journal of microbiology","volume":" ","pages":"1-15"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142680845","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Because most infections are from environmental exposure, it is critical to understand environmental populations of A. fumigatus. Soil is a major ecological niche for A. fumigatus. Here, we analyzed 748 soil isolates from 21 locations in six provinces and one territory in Canada. All isolates were genotyped using nine microsatellite markers. Due to small sample size and/or close proximities for some local samples, these isolates were grouped into 16 local geographic and ecological populations. Our results indicated high allelic and genotypic diversities within most local and provincial populations. Interestingly, low but statistically significant genetic differentiations were found among geographic populations within Canada, with relatively similar proportions of strains and genotypes belonging to two large genetic clusters. In Hamilton, Ontario, and Vancouver, BC, where two and three ecological populations were analyzed, respectively, we found limited genetic difference among them. Most local and provincial populations showed evidence of both clonality and recombination, with no population showing random recombination. Of the 748 soil isolates analyzed here, two were resistant to triazole antifungals.

TDH exhibits diverse biological activities, including hemolytic activity. The β-type hemolysis observed on Wagatsuma agar due to TDH is recognized as the Kanagawa phenomenon (KP). The tdh2 gene is primarily responsible for TDH production and the associated KP. AcsS was originally identified as an activator of swimming and swarming motility in V. parahaemolyticus. However, its potential roles in other cellular pathways remain unclear. In this study, we investigated the regulatory effects of AcsS on the hemolytic activity and tdh2 expression in V. parahaemolyticus using phenotypic tests for KP, quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction, LacZ fusion, and electrophoretic mobility shift assays. The data showed that V. parahaemolyticus hemolytic activity and tdh2 transcription were under the negative control of AcsS. Additionally, in-vitro binding assays revealed that His-AcsS could not bind to the regulatory DNA region of tdh2. However, overexpression of AcsS in an Escherichia coli strain suppressed the expression of tdh2. Collectively, these results suggested that AcsS suppresses the hemolytic activity of V. parahaemolyticus through the downregulation of tdh2 transcription. The data enhanced our understanding of the regulatory networks governing tdh2 expression and the roles of AcsS in this bacterium.","PeriodicalId":9381,"journal":{"name":"Canadian journal of microbiology","volume":" ","pages":"1-6"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142615299","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Isolates were subjected to whole genome sequencing and a subset (1122/2732) were tested for phenotypic resistance to 15 antimicrobials. These E. coli isolates were highly diverse, representing 376 serotypes, 236 sequence types and 21 pathotypes, of which 19 were hybrid pathotypes. A high concordance (>85%) between resistance phenotype and the presence of antimicrobial resistance genes and point mutations (resistance determinants) was observed for 13/15 antimicrobials. Over 95% of the β-lactam, fluoroquinolone, and phenicol resistance genes were predicted to be plasmid-borne. The number of resistance determinants per genome was highest in Quebec, while resistance genes associated with β-lactam resistance were more frequently detected in isolates from British Columbia. Generic E. coli in Canadian poultry are highly diverse, can carry pathotype-associated virulence factors and resistance determinants of clinical significance with a risk of emerging into pathogenic strains.","PeriodicalId":9381,"journal":{"name":"Canadian journal of microbiology","volume":" ","pages":"1-13"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143000704","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Bacterial and fungal community diversity, relative abundance, and potential functions were assessed using amplicon sequencing of 16S and ITS rRNA genes at six time points. High rates (40 and 60 Mg ha-1) of willow chips had no effect on bacterial alpha diversity but significantly decreased fungal alpha diversity (Shannon) while increasing fungal richness (Chao-1). At rates of 40 Mg ha-1 and higher, the relative abundance of copiotrophic bacterial groups increased, while that of copiotrophic fungal groups decreased. The relative abundance of the most dominant microbial phyla and genera varied over time, with copiotrophic groups declining and oligotrophic groups increasing. High willow chip application rates increased bacterial molecular markers related to carbon fixation and degradation, nitrogen fixation, and phosphorus solubilization, while decreasing markers related to cellobiose transport and denitrification.
