Full textAbstract:
Dental caries is the most common bacterial disease of humans and occurs when oral bacteria produce acids, following their fermentation of dietary carbohydrates. This acid can then cause a localised demineralisation of the tooth surface. A group of seven species of bacteria, collectively known as the mutans streptococci, have been predominantly implicated in the onset of dental caries. In particular, Streptococcus mutans and Streptococcus sobrinus have been shown to be the main aetiological agents of this disease in humans. Most attempts to control the microbial component of caries target these bacteria.
The past 50 years has provided considerable information about the pathogenesis of dental caries, the likely route and time of transmission of cariogenic bacteria to susceptible hosts and possible ways of either treating or controlling the onset of this disease. In regards to the latter, many techniques (such as the use of tooth brushes, mouth washes, dental floss and tooth paste) for the control of plaque build-up exist and the examples listed are generally part of a daily routine. However, these techniques need to be applied regularly, and as such only highly-motivated individuals generally experience improved oral health. Therefore, the search for more effective less labour-intensive approaches continues. One area of research is into the potential application of small ribosomally-synthesised antimicrobial peptides, known as bacteriocins. Bacteriocins generally inhibit closely-related species that occupy the same ecological niche. Their relatively-specific targeting, plus the fact that many are remarkably heat and chemically-stable molecules, makes them excellent candidates for possible anti-caries applications.
Numerous bacteriocins produced by the lactic acid bacteria have now been identified. Most can be broadly categorised into one of four main classes, of which Class I, the lantibiotics and Class II, the small (<10 kDa) non-modified peptides, contain the most examples. Many screens for anti-mutans streptococcal (MS) bacteriocins have been carried out and it appears that the best source of anti-MS bacteriocins are the mutans streptococci themselves. Research in this laboratory has identified examples of anti-mutans streptococcal bacteriocins produced by both mutans streptococci and non-mutans streptococci. The present study investigated the anti-MS inhibitors produced by two streptococcal strains, S. mutans N and Streptococcus sanguis K11. During the course of this study a third strain, S. mutans UA159, was also studied for its bacteriocinogenic properties.
Although S. sanguis K11 produces anti-mutans streptococcal inhibitory activity, this appears only effective against Streptococcus rattus. In addition however, the inhibitory activity of this strain is also directed against all tested strains of Streptococcus agalactiae and ca. 50% of Streptococcus pyogenes. In the present study a 5069 Da novel inhibitory agent (sanguicin K11) was characterised and shown responsible for this unusual inhibitory spectrum. Through reverse genetics the sanK11 locus was identified and shown to encode a Class II type bacteriocin, the first shown to be produced by S. sanguis. Following screens of additional S. sanguis, sanK11 was shown to be present only in strains producing the same type of inhibitory pattern (P-type) as strain K11. The cysteine residues at positions 7 and 38 of the sanguicin K11 propeptide were shown to form a disulphide bridge essential for sanguicin K11 inhibitory activity.
S. mutans N and eight other S. mutans strains have been found to have what appears to be the same inhibitory spectrum, which includes members of the mutans streptococci and several other oral streptococcal species. One strain (UA140) of the eight has previously been shown to produce the lantibiotic mutacin I and the non-lantibiotic mutacin IV. S. mutans N was known to produce the non-lantibiotic mutacin N. The current study set out to investigate how two strains, apparently producing completely different bacteriocins could have the same inhibitory spectrum. Reverse genetics identified the mutacin N structural gene (mutN) and mutagenesis studies showed that this bacteriocin was responsible only for the inhibitory activity against mutans streptococci. Further sequencing around the mutN locus identified a second bacteriocin-like locus (mutO) adjacent to mutN. mutO was also identified to have anti-mutans streptococcal inhibitory activity and because of the close proximity of mutO and mutN and given the homology they share with other known two-peptide bacteriocins it seemed probable that mutacins O and N are components of a new member of this special class of bacteriocins (Class IIb, the two peptide bacteriocins) in which the optimal inhibitory activity is dependent on the co-operative activity of the two peptides.
Further investigations of strain N examined the expression of mutacins O and N. During a search for a suitable heterologous non-mutacinogenic S. mutans strain to act as an expression host, the genome reference strain, S. mutans UA159 was given consideration. However, contrary to previous reports, this strain was found to exhibit bacteriocin-like inhibitory activity. During a follow-up investigation, strain UA159 was found to inhibit 84 strains representing 11 different species of bacteria, but no inhibition of mutans streptococci was detected. The locus (nlmAB) encoding the two-peptide bacteriocin mutacin IV was identified within the UA159 genome. Using genetic dissection of nlmA and nlmB, the contribution of each peptide was examined and it was found that only the NlmA* propeptide appears to be active, raising doubts as to whether mutacin IV is a bona fide two-peptide bacteriocin. Deletion of the entire nlmAB locus created a mutant strain that exhibited a loss of inhibitory activity against the same 64 strains as was found for the nlmA mutant. A BLASTP search for the consensus leader sequence that precedes the propeptide of Class II bacteriocins, identified ORFs encoding 9 more putative bacteriocin-like peptides. Further genetic dissection identified the SMU.1914c locus as being responsible for the inhibitory activity against a further 15 strains not already sensitive to mutacin IV. SMU.1914c was renamed mutacin V. However, it appears that another as yet unidentified mutacin(s) is also produced by strain UA159 given that three indicator strains still remained sensitive to a double mutant [UA[Delta](1914/NlmAB)] in which both the mutacin IV and putative mutacin V loci were inactivated.
Export of Class II bacteriocins has been found to occur by either a SEC-dependent system or via a dedicated peptide ATP Binding Cassette (ABC) transporter. Three potential ABC transporter ORFs were identified in S. mutans UA159. Two (comA and cslA) had the characteristic accessory factor ORF (comB and cslB respectively) located adjacent to the main ABC transporter ORF, while the third ORF763 appeared to lack this. Mutagenesis of each of these five ORFS was carried out and confirmed cslAB to be the ABC transporter involved in the export of the competence stimulating factor, while the function of ORF763 could not be established in this study. Mutagenesis of either comA or comB resulted in a complete cessation of bacteriocin production by the respective mutant strains. Historically, comA and comB is the nomenclature used for loci encoding the exporter of the competence inducing factors in streptococci. In light of this new information, comA and comB were renamed nlmT and nlmE respectively, to account for the newly defined role of this ABC transporter.
The present study investigated four bacteriocins two of which (sanguicin K11 and mutacin ON) appear to have some potential for application to anti-caries control, and the others (mutacins IV and V) being shown to be produced by the genome reference strain (UA159). All three mutacins were shown to be exported from their respective producer cells by the NlmTE ABC transporter, while sanguicin K11 is predicted to be exported by a peptide ABC transporter located adjacent to sanK11.
Bacteriocins may yet provide a novel alternative for the treatment and control of dental caries. In their favour is that fact that they have relatively narrow defined inhibitory spectra and thus are unlikely to produce widespread changes to plaque ecosystems. Potential uses include as topical agents where bacteriocin preparations could be incorporated into dentrifices such as toothpastes or mouthwashes. Alternatively, streptococci producing anti-mutans streptococcal bacteriocins could be implanted into the oral cavity in strain replacement therapy strategies. There are pros and cons to each technique and the most effective anti-caries control appears more likely to result from "cocktail therapy" where bacteriocins are combined with a number of other anti-mutans streptococcal agents to achieve long-lasting protection against mutans streptococcus proliferation.

Objectives: Cardiovascular disease (CVD), including heart attack, angina, and stroke, is ranked as the number one cause of mortality world wide. High blood cholesterol is linked to CVD and is an important risk factor. Statins – cholesterol lowering drugs- are first choice drugs for reducing the chance of suffering a CVD event. In the USA alone, approximately 32 million individuals take statins. Although randomized control trials of statins have demonstrated their efficacy in preventing CVD, much less information has been reported on their unintended effects. Although not thought of traditionally as antimicrobials, statins have been shown to have antimicrobial effects in vitro. The statins belong to a family of drugs that lower cholesterol levels by inhibiting 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA reductase, a rate limiting enzyme in the human mevalonate pathway of which cholesterol in the biosynthetic end product. The mevalonate pathway is an important cellular metabolic pathway present in many bacteria. Hence, the aim of this study was to assess the in vitro efficacy of statins against selected strains of oral streptococci, as determined by the minimum inhibitory concentration. A second related objective is to assess the in vitro effect of statins on single species biofilm formation , as determined by binding of the same streptococci to hydroxyapatite pegs. Methods: The effect of statins on S. mutans, S. sanguis, and S. salivarius was determined by finding the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) by broth dilution assays. Simvastatin, pravastatin atorvastatin, and rousuvastatin were used in this study. The minimum inhibitory concentration was considered to be the lowest concentration of statin that prevented bacterial growth, i.e. a clear test tube. Experiments were repeated twice for each bacterial species. The effect of simvastatin, atorvastatin, and pravastatin on the ability of S. mutans and S. sanguis to form single species biofilm was assayed using sterile microplates and the MBEC Biofilm Inoculator (Innovatech). Results: Two trials indicated that the MIC of simvastatin against the selected oral bacteria was determined to be 15.6 μg/ml for S. mutans and S. sanguis, and 7.8 μg/ml for S. salivarius. The MIC of rosuvastatin and atorvastatin was determined to be 100 μg/ml against all three streptococci, whereas the MIC of pravastatin was even higher (200 μg/ml) against all three streptococci. Likewise, two trials indicated that statins decreased single species biofilm formation by S. mutans and S. sanguis. For simvastatin, biofilm formation was decreased by concentrations eight fold below the MIC . The results were substantiated by spectrophotometric assay . For atorvastatin and pravastatin, biofilm formation was decreased by concentrations 3-4 fold below the MIC. Conclusions: These experiments demonstrate the in vitro antimicrobial effect of statins on S. mutans, S.sanguis, and S. salivarius. The data indicate that the statins inhibit growth of the test organisms with MIC’s ranging from 7.8-200 μg/ml. Simvastatin has in vitro efficacy against the specific strains of bacteria used in this study at concentrations slightly less than the observed MIC’s of 15.6-7.8 μg/ml . The MIC’s for atorvastatin, pravastatin, and rosuvastatin are much higher than simvastatin, in the range of 100-200 μg/ml . The effects of statins on biofilm parallels the effect on growth of the bacteria.

Cell surfaces of aggregation, adherence or hydrophilic variants of Streptococcus sanguis were compared to cell surfaces of the parent strain with regard to their protein and antigenic constituents. Cell surface molecules were released by digestion with mutanolysin. Extraction with SDS-BME, urea, lithium chloride and boiling water did not solubilize any material which stained with silver nitrate in an SDS-polyacrylamide gel. The parent organism S. sanguis 12 which aggregates in saliva, adheres to saliva coated hydroxyapatite (S-HA) and is hydrophobic was found to possess a prominently staining 160,000 MW protein. This protein was almost completely absent from strain I2na, a hydrophobic non-aggregating variant, and was completely absent from the hydrophilic non-aggregating, non-adherent strain 12L. Trypsinization of strain 12 resulted in the coincident loss of the 160,000 MW protein and the ability to aggregate in saliva. Trypsin treatment reduced, but did not eliminate the hydrophobic character of the cells. Boiling destroyed the ability to aggregate but did not alter hydrophobicity. Cell wall digests of strain 12 contained a large number of proteins which were absent from strains 12na and 12L. Mutanolysin digests of the hydrophilic strains contained no material that was visible in a silver stained SDS-polyacrylamide gel. Electron microscopy of phosphotungstic acid stained cells showed a thick capsular material spread evenly over the cell surface of the parent strain 12. This layer was thinner around the cells of strain 12na and appeared patchy on hydrophilic strains. Electron microscopy of uranyl acetate stained cells revealed that strain 12 had short fibrillar structures evenly distributed over the cell surface, and long fibrils which were more concentrated at the end of the cell. The hydrophilic strain 12L lacked both types of fibrils. Crossed immunoelectrophoresis confirmed that the major cell surface antigens were located in the 160,000 MW region. Cell wall digests of strain 12 and 12na inhibited adherence of strain 12 to S-HA by 36% and 19% respectively. The digests of hydrophilic strain 12L were not inhibitory. The inhibitory activity was sensitive to heat and SDS.Science, Faculty of

Full textAbstract:
Streptococcus sanguis 12 adhesins mediating attachment to saliva-coated hydroxyapatite beads (S-HA) were isolated and characterized. Cell surface fibrils were released from this organism by a method of freeze-thawing followed by brief homogenization. Fibrils in the homogenate were precipitated by ultracentrifugation or ammonium sulphate precipitation. This precipitate was shown to contain fibrils by electron microscopy. Sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS)-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) analysis of fibrils showed a single band which stained with Coomassie blue and periodate-Schiff. The molecule had a Mr in excess of 300,000. This protein has been given the name long-fibril protein (LFP). Antibody raised against the LFP reacted with long fibrils of S. sanguis 12. LFP was degraded by subtilisin, pronase, papain, and trypsin, but not by chymotrypsin and muramidases. Fibrils were hydrolyzed by subtilisin into discrete lower Mr protein bands which reacted with both anti-fibril and anti-LFP serum. F(ab')₂ prepared from anti-fibril IgG inhibited adhesion of S. sanguis 12 to pH modified S-HA, indicating that fibrils were acting as an adhesin mediating attachment via the neuraminidase-sensitive receptor on S-HA.
Five recombinant clones expressing surface antigens of S. sanguis 12 were isolated by ligating a partial digest of S. sanguis 12 chromosomal DNA with the plasmid vector pUC 18, and transforming into Escherichia coli JM83. Recombinant clones were screened by a colony immunoassay with antisera raised against either S. sanguis 12 whole cells or with anti-fibril serum. Positive clones were then analyzed by SDS-PAGE, Western blotting and restriction endonuclease digestion of recombinant plasmids. One recombinant plasmid, pSA2 expressed two proteins of Mrs of 20,000 and 36,000. The 36,000-Mr protein has been designated as SsaB (S. sanguis adhesin B). Both proteins were purified to homogeneity by gel filtration and ion exchange chromatography. Anti-SsaB serum was used in an immunogold bead labelling experiment to demonstrate that this protein was present on the surfaces of S. sanguis 12 and in the non-saliva-aggregating variant 12na, but not on the non-adhering non-aggregating hydrophilic variant 12L. Western blot analysis with anti-SsaB and anti-20 kd sera showed that both SsaB and the 20 kd proteins were present in cell extracts of S. sanguis 12 and its variants. SsaB inhibited adhesion of S. sanguis 12na to S-HA, indicating that it was the adhesin which mediates the binding to the pH-sensitive receptor. SsaB was found to be present on all S. sanguis strains tested, but not on other oral streptococci. Chemical cross-linking studies of SsaB on S. sanguis 12 cell surface suggested that this protein may be present in a higher Mr complex.
This study provides direct evidence that binding of S. sanguis 12 to S-HA involves at least two adhesin-receptor interactions. The adhesin mediating binding to the neuraminidase-sensitive receptor on S-HA involves the long fibrils and the adhesin binding to the acid labile receptor is a 36,000 Mr protein.Science, Faculty of

Full textAbstract:
Trabajo de Investigación Requisito para optar al Título de Cirujano DentistaIntroducción: Streptococcus sanguinis (S. sanguinis) es un colonizador primario de la biopelícula dental asociada a salud. Esta bacteria produce peróxido de hidrógeno (H2O2), un sub-producto del crecimiento y que es bacteriostático para otros streptococci orales, como Streptococcus mutans (S. mutans), quien, bajo condiciones determinadas de pH y disponibilidad de carbohidratos fermentables, se relaciona con el inicio y progresión de la caries dental. En este contexto, actualmente se propone una relación sinérgica entre S. mutans y Candida albicans (C. albicans), levadura comensal de la cavidad oral capaz de causar diversas patologías en humanos. El efecto de S. sanguinis, mediante la producción de (H²O²), en C. albicans no ha sido completamente estudiado. Según lo mencionado anteriormente, el objetivo de este estudio es determinar preliminarmente si existe modulación del crecimiento de C. albicans, en co-cultivo con S. sanguinis. Material y Métodos: Se utilizó S. sanguinis SK36, S. mutans ATCC 25175, C. albicans ATCC 90029 y un aislado clínico de C. albicans (P1-1) (proveniente de un niño con caries activas). Se realizaron ensayos de competencia en medio líquido y sólido de S. sanguinis o S. mutans con C. albicans (cepa de referencia o aislado clínico), se determinó pH y células viables para cada pareja en co-cultivo líquido. Inhibición del crecimiento en medio sólido fue evaluada según presencia de halo inhibitorio próximo a alguno de los microorganismos. Ensayos fueron incubados en microaerofilia a 37 ºC durante 48 h con agitación. Además, se realizó un test de concentración inhibitoria mínima (CIM) de (H²O²) para ambas cepas de C. albicans y también se determinó la cantidad de (H²O²) producida por S. sanguinis, de acuerdo a una curva estándar previamente diseñada. Los datos fueron analizados de manera descriptiva, comparando medianas entre distintos grupos y dentro de un mismo grupo. Resultados: En medio sólido, C. albicans produjo halo inhibitorio sobre S. sanguinis. En medio líquido, S. sanguinis y C. albicans (ATCC y P1-1) aumentaron su crecimiento en co-cultivo, respecto de su crecimiento aislado. Además, generaron siempre una alcalinización del medio, respecto al pH inicial. A 0,1 mM de (H²O²) la sobrevivencia de ambas cepas de C. albicans se redujo en un 70%, definiendo esta concentración como la CIM. La cantidad estimada de (H²O²) producida por S. sanguinis fue de 0,059 µM en todas las etapas de crecimiento. Conclusiones: De acuerdo a los resultados obtenidos y a las limitaciones del estudio, se puede concluir que S. sanguinis no inhibe el crecimiento de C. albicans. Asimismo, ambos podrían contribuir en mantener el pH del microambiente en niveles compatibles con salud oral. El co-cultivo de C. albicans con S. mutans podría beneficiar el crecimiento de la bacteria, en desmedro de la levadura. No obstante, cuando la levadura proviene de una biopelícula cariogénica, su relación con la bacteria podría tornarse más sinérgica. Entonces, el rol de C. albicans dentro del proceso de caries podría depender de la condición que presenta el microambiente, previo a la presencia de la levadura. El (H²O²) podría influir negativamente en el crecimiento de C. albicans, sin embargo, este efecto estaría supeditado a su concentración en el medio.

Full textAbstract:
Streptococcus sanguinis is the second most common causative agent of bacterial infective endocarditis (IE). Risk of S. sanguinis IE is dependent on pre-disposing damage to the heart valve endothelium, which results in deposition of clotting factors for formation of a sterile thrombus (referred to as vegetation). Despite medical advances, high mortality and morbidity rates persist. Molecular characterization of S. sanguinis virulence determinants may enable development of prevention methods. In a previous screen for S. sanguinis virulence determinants by signature-tagged mutagenesis (STM) an attenuated mutant was identified with a transposon insertion in the nrdD gene, encoding an anaerobic ribonucleotide reductase. Evaluation of this mutant, as well as an nrdD in-frame deletion mutant, JFP27, by a soft-agar growth assay confirmed the anaerobic growth sensitivity of these strains. These studies suggest that an oxygen gradient occurs at the site of infection which selects for expression of anaerobic-specific genes at the nexus of the vegetation. The random STM screen failed to identify any favorable streptococcal surface-exposed prophylactic candidates. It was also apparent that additional genetic tools were required to facilitate the in vivo analyses of mutant strains. As it was desirable to insert antibiotic resistance markers into the chromosome, we identified a chromosomal site for ectopic expression of foreign genes. In vitro and in vivo analyses verified that insertion into this site did not affect important cellular phenotypes. The genetic tools developed facilitated further in vivo screening of S. sanguinis cell wall-associated (Cwa) protein mutants. A directed application of STM was employed for a comprehensive analysis of this surface protein class in the rabbit model of IE. Putative sortases, upon which Cwa proteins are dependent for cell surface localization, were also evaluated. No single S. sanguinis Cwa protein was determined essential for IE by STM screening; however competitiveness for colonization of the infection site was reduced for the mutant lacking expression of sortase A. The studies described here present a progressive picture of S. sanguinis IE, beginning with surface protein-dependent colonization of the vegetation in early IE, that later shifts to a bacterial persistence in situ dependent on condition-specific housekeeping genes, including nrdD.

Full textAbstract:
Streptococcus sanguinis is a leading cause of infective endocarditis. Bacterial adhesion to platelets is likely important in the pathogenesis of infective endocarditis. Bacterial cell wall-anchored (Cwa) proteins may mediate this adhesion. To begin to test this hypothesis, S. sanguinis adhesion to platelets was examined in vitro. The requirement of 12 Cwa proteins for S. sanguinis-platelet adhesion was individually assessed, measuring adhesion of purified platelets to polystyrene wells coated with S. sanguinis strain SK36 or 12 isogenic Cwa protein mutants. Significantly fewer platelets adhered to wells coated with one mutant strain, VT1614. However, results of a whole-cell enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) showed that 8 mutants, including VT1614, adhered in significantly lower numbers to wells than did SK36. After accounting for unequal bacterial numbers, we determined there was no significant difference in platelet adhesion among the strains. This suggests that none of the Cwa proteins examined were required for S. sanguinis-platelet adhesion.

Full textAbstract:
The bacterium Streptococcus sanguinis is a primary member of the human oral microflora and also has been recognized as a key player in the bacterial colonization of the mouth. It is considered the most common viridians streptococcal species implicated in infective endocarditis. In all kingdoms of life, ATP binding cassette (ABC) transporters are essential to many cellular functions. Sequencing of the SK36 genome provided the opportunity to study ABC transporter mutants and their relationship with acidity of the oral environment. Despite numerous studies that have focused on carbohydrate uptake systems in closely related streptococcal species such as S. mutans, S. pneumonia and S. pyogenes, the mechanism of the response of these ABC transporters to acidic conditions in S. sanguinis is still unknown. The capability of S. sanguinis to adapt in these harsh environments suggests this bacterium is capable of responding to various environmental stimuli. The purpose of this study was to examine ABC mutants to identify functions that contribute to acid tolerance in S. sanguinis. This study demonstrates that two acid-sensitive mutant genes, SSA_1507 and SSA_1508, identify genes involved in acid tolerance. The two mutants grew on different sugars and none of them showed a defect in sugar utilization at acid pH. We couldn’t recognize any significant differences in sugar uptake for the two acid sensitive mutants or in mutants of their neighboring genes. Thus, the observed acid sensitivity is not due to a failure to take up any of the common sugars tested. The cytoplasmic pH of S. sanguinis was studied with the fluorescent pH indicator (BCECF) and SK36 was observed to have a wider pH range than either of the two acid-sensitive mutants SSA_1507 or SSA_1508. In these two mutants, intracellular pH was not as well maintained. At all pH values tested, the mutants displayed a lower intracellular pH than the wild type. These observations indicate that the cell membrane of these two mutants is unable to protect the interior components from adverse effects of higher pH values and lower pH values, and prove that these two mutant genes SSA_1507 and SSA_1508 are unable to grow in lower pH values. These results support a role for these ABC transporters in proton pump or export and indicate that the mutants are less able to pump out protons.

Full textAbstract:
Streptococcus sanguinis is an important component of the dental plaque biofilm and is believed to play a beneficial role in the oral cavity. S. sanguinis is also a leading cause of infective endocarditis (IE), a potentially lethal infection of the cardiac valves. S. sanguinis possesses genetic competence, the ability to acquire exogenous DNA into its genome. In the well characterized system of S. pneumoniae, genetic competence requires a quorum sensing system encoded by the early comCDE genes, as well as late genes controlled by the alternate sigma factor, ComX. Previous studies in other streptococcal species have suggested functions for the com regulon apart from DNA uptake. Here we characterized functions of the S. sanguinis com regulon genes in genetic competence, IE virulence, and biofilm formation. Our findings indicated that the early regulatory genes and those under the control of ComX in S. sanguinis play similar roles in genetic competence as their orthologs in other competent streptococci; however the sequence and mechanism of processing of the quorum sensing signal, competence-stimulating peptide, CSP, were determined to be unique. Using a rabbit endocarditis model, we determined that the comCDE and comX genes were not required for virulence, bacteremia, or pathology under a variety of infection conditions. In contrast, examination of biofilms by microscopy and crystal violet staining indicated that S. sanguinis CSP enhanced biofilm formation in a comDE-dependent manner. Deletion of the early com gene SSA_0195 eliminated this effect, while expression of the gene from an inducible promoter increased biofilm formation in the absence of CSP. Deletion of the comX gene resulted in biofilms with increased staining, cell death, and profoundly altered structure. Treatment with DNase I reduced biofilm formation in a com-independent manner. Taken together, these results suggest that expression of SSA_0195 is both necessary and sufficient for CSP-dependent biofilm enhancement, and that the late gene activator, ComX, is required to maintain normal biofilm architecture. Our findings suggest the com regulon of S. sanguinis may be an important determinant of competitiveness in the mouth, where native CSP production may occur at levels sufficient to influence biofilm formation.

The gram-positive bacterium Streptococcus sanguinis is a member of human indigenous oral microbialflora and has long been recognized as a key player in the bacterial colonization of the mouth. S. sanguinis is also the most common viridians streptococcal species implicated in infective endocarditis. Although many studies have focused on two-component systems in closely related Streptococcus species such as S. mutans, S. pneumoniae and S. gordonii; the mechanism of the response regulator in S. sanguinis is still unknown. The ability of S. sanguinis to adapt and thrive in hostile environments suggests this bacterium is capable of sensing and responding to various environmental stimuli. The present study clearly demonstrates that a number of RR genes, SSA_0204, SSA_0217, SSA_1810, SSA_1794, and SSA_1842, in S. sanguinis are essential to the recognition and response to various environmental stresses. Results from this study also identified genes SSA_0260, SSA_0261, and SSA-0262, involved in acidic tolerance and suppressed by SSA_0204 response regulator.

Bacteria and fungi are found together in a multitude of environments, and particularly in the form of biofilm adherent species which interact through various signaling mechanisms. In the oral cavity, Candida species coexist with numerous bacterial species, and evidence suggests that bacteria can modulate biofilm formation as well as induce the formation of hyphae. Thus, to characterize such interactions are essential to the understanding of pathogenesis of diseases and possibly the discovery of new therapeutic strategies. In this sense, the main objective of this study was to evaluate, in vitro, the mechanisms involved in the interaction between bacteria Streptococcus oralis, Streptococcus sanguinis, and Streptococcus parasanguinis yeast Candida tropicalis. In the study the effect of extracellular metabolites present in the supernatant of C. tropicalis (SCT) on the pre-formed biofilm (6H) S. oralis, S. sanguinis and S. parasanguinis was analyzed. The effect of extracellular metabolites of S. oralis (SSO), S. sanguinis (SSS) and S. parasanguinis (SSP) on planktonic growth and biofilm
Bactérias e fungos são encontrados juntos em uma infinidade de ambientes e, particularmente, na forma de biofilme, onde as espécies aderentes interagem através de diversos mecanismos de sinalização. Na cavidade oral, espécies de Candida coexistem com inúmeras espécies bacterianas, e evidências sugerem que bactérias podem modular a formação de biofilme, bem como induzir a formação de hifas e pseudo-hifas. Assim, caracterizar tais interações é essencial para o entendimento da patogênese das doenças e, possivelmente, a descoberta de novas estratégias terapêuticas. Nesse sentido, o objetivo principal deste trabalho foi avaliar, in vitro, os mecanismos envolvidos na interação entre as bactérias Streptococcus oralis, Streptococcus sanguinis, Streptococcus parasanguinis e a levedura Candida tropicalis. No estudo foi analisado o efeito dos metabólitos extracelulares presentes no sobrenadante de C. tropicalis (SCT) sobre o biofilme pré-formado (6h) de S. oralis, S. sanguinis e S. parasanguinis. Também foi avaliado o efeito dos metabólitos extracelulares de S. oralis (SSO), S. sanguinis (SSS) e S. parasanguinis (SSP) sobre o crescimento planctônico, formação de biofilme e capacidade de filamentação de C. tropicalis, utilizando apenas o sobrenadante da cultura de cada um dos estreptococos em diferentes concentrações (100, 50 e 25%). Além disso, foi analisado o efeito dos metabólitos extracelulares dos estreptococos sobre o biofilme pré-formado (6h) de C. tropicalis. Para verificar o efeito dos metabólitos extracelulares foram utilizados dois métodos: o método turbidimétrico que se baseia na leitura da densidade óptica (OD) das suspensões celulares e a coloração cristal violeta (CV) que permite a quantificação indireta da formação de biofilme através da coloração com cristal violeta. Em seguida, foram examinadas as características dos biofilmes, formados por 24 horas, através da análise por microscopia óptica comum. Os resultados referentes ao biofilme foram submetidos ao ANOVA com pós-teste Bonferroni, com diferença estatística de p<0,01. Nossos resultados sugerem que substâncias solúveis produzidas por S. oralis, S. sanguinis e S. parasanguinis induzem a formação de hifas de C. tropicalis sem interferir no crescimento planctônico. Além de diminuir drasticamente o desenvolvimento do biofilme dessa levedura quando em contato com SSS e SSP. Tal fato reforça a ideia de que existe grande heterogeneidade dentro de biofilmes polimicrobianos, especialmente entre leveduras e bactérias. E que o resultado dessa interação depende das condições as quais estes micro-organismos serão submetidos.

Full textAbstract:
The ability of bacteria to assimilate free DNA from the environment is known as competence. Though many studies have focused on competence regulation in Streptococcus pneumoniae and Streptococcus gordonii, Streptococcus sanguinis has yet to be examined. Physiological characterization of competence in S. sanguinis strain SK36 and its comC mutant, JFP41, led to the genome-wide transcriptional analysis of cells induced to competence via addition of competence-stimulating peptide (CSP). A total of 128 genes were induced at least 2-fold, 74 of which were classified as either “early” or “late” based on their induction patterns. Expression patterns were verified using qRT-PCR. This study identified genes not up-regulated in S. pneumoniae or S. gordonii and lays the foundation for bioinformatic studies to identify conserved binding sites upstream from CSP-regulated genes. These results also shed light on the possible existence and identity of expected CSP exporters in S. sanguinis, which have so far eluded discovery.

Full textAbstract:
Biofilm accounts for 65%-80% of microbial infections in humans. Considerable evidence links biofilm formation to oral disease and consequently systemic infections. Eradication of biofilm-associated infections is important. Streptococcus sanguinis, a Gram-positive bacterium, is one of the most abundant species in oral biofilm. It contributes to biofilm development in oral cavities and is one of the recognized causes of infective endocarditis. To study and identify biofilm genes in S. sanguinis, biofilm formation of 51 mutants was compared with the wild type SK36 strain using crystal violet (CV) staining in a microtiter plate. Confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) and image analysis was done to compare biofilm formation by the mutant to the wild type SK36 strain. A biofilm mutant XG2_0351, encoding a type I signal peptidase (SPase I), was further investigated. SPase I cleaves proteins that are transported through secretory machinery and is necessary for the release of translocated preproteins from a cytoplasmic site of synthesis to extracytoplasmic/membrane destinations. S. sanguinis, like many Gram-positive bacteria, has multiple SPases I. The objective of this project is to investigate the distinctive role that SPase I plays in biofilm formation in S. sanguinis. Using a plate reader, the growth curves of the wild type strain SK36 and XG2_0351 were compared. The scanning electron microscope (SEM) was utilized to compare the cell surface morphologies. Coomassie staining was done to narrow the list of potential substrates of XG2_0351. CV staining and CLSM images indicated phenotypic differences between the SPase I mutant and SK36. The growth curves of XG2_0351 and SK36 showed no significant difference although SEM illustrated a difference in the cell surface morphologies. Coomassie staining illustrated a number of substrates that were present in SK36 but not XG2_0351. In addition bioinformatics was used to understand the gene function. In conclusion, XG2_0351 reduces biofilm formation in S. sanguinis but further research is necessary to elucidate the specific proteins that are involved. Clarifying the vii role that SPase I plays in reduced biofilm formation in S. sanguinis will give a better understanding of the biofilm formation mechanism.

Furthermore, the effect of extracellular metabolites of streptococci on the pre-formed biofilm (6h) of C. tropicalis were analyzed. To verify the effect of extracellular metabolites two methods were used: The turbidimetric method based on the reading of the optical density (OD) of cell suspension and coloring crystal violet (CV) which permits indirect quantification of the biofilm formation by staining with crystal violet. Then were examined characteristics of biofilms formed by 24 hours, through the analysis simple optical microscope. The results for the biofilm were subjected to ANOVA with Bonferroni post-test, with a statistical difference of p<0.01.Our results suggest that soluble substances produced by S. oralis, S. sanguinis and S. parasanguinis induce the formation of hyphae of C. tropicalis without interfering with planktonic growth.In addition to dramatically decrease biofilm development of oral yeast when in contact with SSP and SSS. This reinforces the idea that there is great heterogeneity within polymicrobial biofilms, especially between yeasts and bacteria. And the result of this interaction depends on the conditions which these micro-organisms will be subjected.

Full textAbstract:
Streptococcus sanguinis is a gram-positive facultative anaerobe that is indigenous to the oral cavity and a primary colonizer of the oral cavity. It serves as a tether for the attachment of several oral bacteria that colonize the tooth surface, form dental plaque, and cause periodontal disease. Previous experiments with streptococcal strains have suggested that cellular chain morphology of streptococci may influence the competitiveness, susceptibility to phagocytosis, acidurance, and aggregation of the bacterium. The purpose of this study was to systematically determine gene functions that contribute to cellular chain length morphology in the SK36 strain of S. sanguinis. Gene functions for 2048 mutants were elucidated along with Clusters of Orthologous Groups (COG) functions that may be related to or regulate chain formation and morphology. The COG functions with high ratios of genes involved with chain length morphology per number of total non-essential mutant COG functions were in the following order: Cell division and Chromosome Separation, Defense Mechanisms, and Signal Transduction Mechanisms, and Cell Motility and Secretion. Examination of gene annotations of the 326 mutants involved with chain morphology suggests that cellular chain length is dependent on cell wall division and septation, peptidoglycan synthesis, and cell wall mobility. Some of the genes that contribute to chain length properties may be co-regulated which may suggest that chain length phenotypes are a transcriptionally regulated property that further studies may confirm.

Full textAbstract:
Streptococcus sanguinis is a gram-positive, non-motile bacterium native to human mouths. It is the primary cause of endocarditis and is also responsible for tooth decay. Two-component systems (TCSs) are commonly found in bacteria. In response to environmental signals, TCSs may regulate the expression of virulence factor genes.
Gene co-expression networks are exploratory tools used to analyze system-level gene functionality. A gene co-expression network consists of gene expression profiles represented as nodes and gene connections, which occur if two genes are significantly co-expressed. An adjacency function transforms the similarity matrix containing co-expression similarities into the adjacency matrix containing connection strengths. Gene modules were determined from the connection strengths, and various network connectivity measures were calculated.
S. sanguinis gene expression profile data was loaded for 2272 genes and 14 samples with 3 replicates each. The soft thresholding power β=6 was chosen to maximize R2 while maintaining a high mean number of connections. Nine modules were found. Possible meta-modules were found to be: Module 1: Blue & Green, Module 2: Pink, Module 3: Yellow, Brown & Red, Module 4: Black, Module 5: Magenta & Turquoise. The absolute value of module membership was found to be highly positively correlated with intramodular connectivity. Each of the nine modules were examined. Two methods (intramodular connectivity and TOM-based connectivity followed by network mapping) for identifying candidate hub genes were performed. Most modules provided similar results between the two methods. Similar rankings between the two methods can be considered equivalent and both can be used to detect candidate hub genes. Gene ontology information was unavailable to help select a module of interest. This network analysis would help researchers create new research hypotheses and design experiments for validation of candidate hub genes in biologically important modules.

O objetivo foi avaliar as interações entre Candida albicans (ATCC 18804) com Streptococcus mitis (49456) e Streptococcus sanguinis (10556) in vitro e in vivo avaliando-se a possível influência destas associações, na expressão de genes, na filamentação e formação de biofilme de Candida albicans. A formação de biofilme, foi realizado mono e multiespécie em placa de 96 poços por 48 h à 37 ºC com 5% CO2. Os biofilmes foram desagregados e diluídos para semeadura em ágar e após incubação as UFC/mL foram contadas. A filamentação de C. albicans, in vitro foi realizada em placas de 24 poços e in vivo em Galleria mellonella, com análise histológica e contagem de UFC/mL. A avaliação da expressão gênica de ALS1, ALS3, BRC1, CPH1, EFG1 e HWP1, foi realizada por PCR em tempo real utilizando o gene normalizador ACT1. Os resultados da UFC/mL (p < 0.05), demonstrou que o biofilme de C. albicans monoespécie apresentou maior crescimento, quando comparado com o biofilme associado com S. mitis (p = 0,001) ou com S. sanguinis (p = 0,001). A filamentação in vitro demonstrou que a interação com S. mitis inibiu a filamentação de C. albicans (p = 0,0006), entretanto, a interação com S. sanguinis não inibiu (p = 0,1554). Os genes ALS1, ALS3 e HWP1 foram super expressos na interação com S. mitis. A interação com S. sanguinis, promoveu super expressão dos genes ALS3 e HWP1. Os genes BRC1, CPH1 e EFG1 foram super expressos na interação com S. mitis e sub expressos, na interação com S. sanguinis. Não houve diferença estatística nos estudos in vivo de filamentação e UFC/mL. Conclui-se que in vitro, S. mitis e S. sanguinis foram capazes de inibir a formação de biofilme de C. albicans. Assim como a interação com S. mitis inibiu a sua filamentação. A interação com S. mitis parece aumentar o fator de virulência de C. albicans, quanto a expressão dos genes de aderência ALS1, ALS3 e HWP1, bem como na associação com S. sanguinis (ALS3 e HWP1). Os genes de formação de biofilme, BRC1, CPH1 e EFG1, na interação com S. mitis promoveu aumento do fator de virulência.
The objective was to evaluate the interactions between Candida albicans (ATCC 18804) with Streptococcus mitis (49456) and Streptococcus sanguinis (10556) in vitro and in vivo evaluating the possible influence of these associations, in the expression of genes, in the filamentation and biofilm formation of Candida albicans. Biofilm formation was performed mono- and multispecies in 96-well plate for 48 h at 37 ºC with 5% CO2. Biofilms sonicated and diluted for sowing on agar and after incubation the colonies counted to obtain the colony forming units (CFU/mL). The filamentation in vitro was performed in 24-well plate and in vivo Galleria mellonella, with histological and CFU/mL. The evaluation of gene expression ALS1, ALS3, BRC1, CPH1, EFG1 and HWP1 was performed by real-time PCR using the normalizing gene ACT1. The results of CFU/ml (p<0.05), found that C. albicans biofilm monoespécie showed increased growth, as compared to the biofilm associated with S. mitis (p = 0.001) and S. sanguinis (p = 0.001). The filamentation in vitro demonstrated that the interaction with S. mitis inhibited C. albicans filamentation (p = 0.0006), interaction with S. sanguinis could not (p = 0.1554). The ALS1, ALS3, HWP1 gene, were superexpressed in S. mitis interaction. Interaction with S. sanguinis, promoted overexpression of ALS3 and HWP1 genes. The BRC1 genes, CPH1 and EFG1 were super expressed in interaction with S. mitis and sub expressed when there was interaction with S. sanguinis. There was no statistical difference in the in vivo studies of filamentation and CFU/mL. It follows that in vitro, S. mitis and S. sanguinis were able to inhibit the formation of C. albicans biofilms. Like the interaction with S. mitis inhibited its filamentation. The interaction with S. mitis appears to increase the virulence factors of C. albicans. ALS1, ALS3, HWP1 as the expression of adhesion genes, and as well as in association with S. sanguinis (ALS3 and HWP1). Biofilm formation genes, BRC1, CPH1 and EFG1 in interaction with S. mitis promoted increased virulence factor.

Full textAbstract:
Type IV pili (Tfp) are the paradigm of a large group of diverse and functionally versatile nanomachines, intensively studied in Gram-negative bacteria. However, details regarding the molecular mechanisms of Tfp biogenesis and/or mediated functions are still unclear. Thus, owing to the inherent lack of outer cell wall in Gram-positive bacteria, my PhD has focused on molecular characterisation of Tfp in a simpler such bacterium Streptococcus sanguinis. My work has shown that the naturally competent S. sanguinis produces bona fide retractable Tfp enabling twitching motility, but dispensable for competence. Unlike Gram-negative Tfp, we show that S. sanguinis Tfp are unusual since they are composed of two pilin proteins, a feature likely to be shared by other Gram-positive Tfp-expressing species. All the genes involved in Tfp biology in S. sanguinis are found within a pil locus encoding 21 proteins. A systematic genetic study highlighted that 10 proteins only are required for Tfp biogenesis, whilst another four modulate twitching motility. To enhance genetic manipulation of S. sanguinis, a markerless mutagenesis strategy was devised enabling us to make various mutations in situ, which helped us characterise some of these proteins further. Via this methodology, the last six genes of the pil locus were found to be completely dispensable for Tfp biology. To get an overall structural picture of Tfp in S. sanguinis, the structure of one of the major pilins (PilE1) was determined by NMR. Moreover, three pilin-like proteins within the pil locus were found to be minor Tfp components. Collectively, my work has established S. sanguinis as a robust Gram-positive model organism for studying Tfp, which paves way for interesting future studies.

Um novo monômero, brometo de metacriloiloxidodecilpiridínio (MDPB), com efeito antibacteriano e capacidade de co-polimerizar com outros monômeros, foi apresentado por Imazato, Torii e Tsuchitani (1993). Este estudo avaliou a adesão bacteriana, em 16, 40 e 64 horas, à resina composta contendo ou não o monômero antibacteriano MDPB. A adesão foi testada para Streptococcus sanguinis e Streptococcus sobrinus. Após as amostras terem sido submetidas à incubação, o biofilme foi coletado e a contagem de UFCs foi realizada. Os dados foram comparados pelo método ANOVA complementado por teste de Tukey. Os resultados demonstraram que, para o S. sanguinis, a adesão sobre o MDPB foi significativamente maior (p<0.05) quando comparado ao controle em 16 horas, mas diminuiu significativamente em 40 horas, não apresentando diferenças quando comparado ao controle neste tempo (p<0.01). Para o S. sobrinus, o controle apresentou aumento significativo da adesão bacteriana em 64 horas quando comparado com 16 horas (p<0.01), sendo significativamente maior que para o MDPB em 64 horas (p<0.05). Assim, o estudo mostrou que o MDPB é capaz de inibir a adesão de S. sobrinus sem interferir na adesão do S. sanguinis. Portanto, nas condições deste estudo os resultados sugerem que a incorporação do MDPB a resinas compostas pode ser de importância na prevenção de cáries secundárias favorecendo a adesão de bactérias comensais em detrimento de bactérias com potencial cariogênico.A new antibacterial monomer, Methacryloyloxydodecylpyridinium bromide (MDPB), with antibacterial property and ability to co-polymerize with other monomers, was introduced by Imazato, Torii and Tsuchitani (1993). This study aimed to analyze the effect of MDPB on bacterial adherence to resin composites containing or not MDPB. Streptococcus sanguinis and Streptococcus sobrinus were used. The biofilms were collected from the samples and the colony forming units (CFUs) were counted after 16, 40 e 64 h of incubation. The data were compared by ANOVA complemented by the Tukeys test. The results showed that the adhesion of S. sanguinis to MDPB-containing resin composite was significantly higher (p<0.05) than to control samples at 16 h, but significantly diminished at 40 h, reaching values similar to those of control samples (p<0.01). The adherence of S. sobrinus to control samples significantly increased throughout the experimental time (p<0.01) and was considerably higher than to MDPB at 64 h (p<0.05). Thus, the study showed that MDPB is capable of inhibit adhesion of S. sobrinus with no interference on the adhesion of S. sanguinis. Thus, at the conditions of this study we suggest that MDPB incorporated to resin composites could be of importance to prevent secondary caries favoring adhesion of commensal bacteria and impairing adhesion of cariogenic bacteria.

Resumo: Streptococcus sanguinis são colonizadores primários dos dentes reconhecidos como microrganismos comensais benéficos da cavidade bucal, pois são capazes de inibir o crescimento de espécies patogênicas, como Streptococcus mutans. S. sanguinis são comumente envolvidos em endocardite bacteriana, embora por mecanismos de patogenicidade ainda não conhecidos. Para colonizar os dentes ou tecidos cardíacos, S. sanguinis devem ser capazes de se estabelecer em biofilmes e de se adaptar às diversas condições de estresse ambiental decorridas da ação de microrganismos competidores e/ou das defesas do hospedeiro. A resposta bacteriana a condições de estresse ambiental é regulada por sistemas reguladores globais de transcrição de dois componentes (SDC), os quais são essenciais para modular o transcriptoma bacteriano durante os processos de colonização e infecção do hospedeiro. O genoma de S. sanguinis SK36 apresenta 14 desses sistemas. Através de análises de BLAST, identificou-se um SDC com alta similaridade ao sistema VicRK (vic de virulence control), o qual regula fatores de virulência e é conservado em diversas espécies de bactérias Gram-positivas, como S. mutans e Streptococcus pneumoniae. O objetivo deste trabalho foi caracterizar a função do sistema VicRK na biologia de S. sanguinis, através da análise dos efeitos da inativação de vicK em diversas características bacterianas possivelmente associadas à virulência e à formação de biofilmes. Para isto, foi construído um mutante knock-out do gene vicK a partir da cepa SK36, o qual foi designado SKvicK. SKvicK foi comparado à cepa selvagem quanto à capacidade de formação de biofilmes e quanto às características que influenciam na capacidade de colonização (hidrofobicidade, atividade autolítica e sensibilidade ao estresse oxidativo) em diferentes condições atmosféricas. Também foram comparados, entre as cepas, os padrões de expressão de genes com possível função de virulência, cujos ortólogos são regulados por VicRK nas espécies S. mutans e/ou S. pneumoniae. Estes incluem genes relacionados à formação de biofilmes e biogênese da parede celular (ssapcsB, lysM, gtfP), à resposta ao estresse oxidativo e produção de peróxido de hidrogênio (sodA, spxB, ccpA). A inativação de vicK inibiu claramente a formação inicial de biofilmes. Além disto, SKvicK demonstrou maior sensibilidade ao estresse oxidativo e maior hidrofobicidade celular. A inativação de vicK também inibiu, de forma significativa, a transcrição dos genes pcsB, lysM, spxB e comE. Estes dados indicam que VicRK regula diversas funções biológicas de S. sanguinis importantes para a colonização de humanos
Abstract: Streptococcus sanguinis are primary colonizers of the teeth and recognized as beneficial commensal microorganisms of the oral cavity because they are able to inhibit the growth of pathogenic species such as Streptococcus mutans. S. sanguinis are commonly involved in the infective endocarditis, although pathogenic mechanisms are still unknown. S. sanguinis are able to establish in biofilms and to adapt among various environmental stress conditions from competing microorganisms and/or from host defenses during colonization of enamel or endothelial tissues. Bacterial responses from environmental stress conditions are regulated by two-component global regulatory systems (TCS), which are essential to modulate the bacterial transcriptome during colonization and infection of the host. S. sanguinis SK36 genome contains at least 14 TCS. Through BLAST analyses, we identified a TCS with high similarity to VicRK system (vic from virulence control), which regulates virulence factors and is conserved in several species of gram-positive bacteria such as S. mutans and Streptococcus pneumoniae. The aim of this study was to characterize the role of VicRK system in S. sanguinis biology, by analyzing the effects of vicK inativation on several characteristics potentially associated with bacterial virulence and biofilm formation. For this purpose, vicK mutant gene knock-out was obtained from strain SK36 and it was designated SKvicK. SKvicK was compared to the wild-type strain about the ability to form biofilms and cellular traits which influence in the ability of host colonization (hydrophobicity, autolytic activity and sensitivity to oxidative stress) under diverse atmospheric conditions. Gene expression was also compared in the strains because these genes are potencially involved in virulence, whose orthologs are regulated by VicRK system in S. mutans and S. pneumoniae species. These include genes involved in biofilm formation and cell wall biogenesis (ssapcsB, lysM, gtfP), oxidative stress response and production of hydrogen peroxide (sodA, spxB, ccpA). The inactivation of vicK inhibited the initial formation of biofilms. Moreover, SKvicK showed increased sensitivity to oxidative stress and cell hydrophobicity. vicK gene inativation also signicantly down-regulated transcription of pcsB, lysM, spxB and comE. These data indicate that VicRK regulates several biological functions relevant for S. sanguinis colonization

Full textAbstract:
With the number of fully sequenced bacterial genomes increasing in the past 7 years, it has been discovered that a large percentage of the putative protein coding genes have no known function. This lack of knowledge leaves scientists with an incomplete understanding of bacteria. In this study, conserved hypothetical protein mutants from Streptococcus sanguinis SK36 were screened on solid media with various environmental conditions. From these screens, the candidate protein, SSA_2372, displayed a sensitivity to acidic conditions. Its homolog in Bacillus subtilis 168, BSU00030, also displayed a sensitivity to pH conditions at its acid tolerance extremes unlike its other homolog in Escherichia coli, YbcJ. When the growth rate and cell yield was acquired, the sensitivity was shown to be significant for both SSA_2372 and BSU00030 mutants. Through data mining, it was determined that Firmicutes in this homolog family COG2501 may function as a regulator for recombination protein F.

Full textAbstract:
Manganese-deficient Streptococcus sanguinis mutants exhibit a dramatic decrease in virulence for infective endocarditis and in aerobic growth in manganese-limited media. Loss of activity of a manganese-dependent, oxygen-dependent ribonucleotide reductase (RNR) could explain the decrease in virulence. When the genes encoding this RNR are deleted, there is no growth of the mutant in aerobic broth culture or in an animal model. Testing the contribution of the aerobic RNR to the phenotype of a manganese transporter mutant, a heterologous class II RNR from Lactobacillus leichmannii called NrdJ that requires B12 rather than manganese as a cofactor was previously introduced into an RNR mutant of S. sanguinis. Aerobic growth was only partially restored. Currently, we sought to improve NrdJ-dependent growth by (i) amending the medium to increase cellular levels of B12; (ii) characterizing a spontaneous mutant of the NrdJ-complemented strain with improved aerobic growth; and (iii) altering this strain through further genetic manipulation.

Trabajo de Investigación Requisito para optar al Título de Cirujano DentistaLa caries dental es un proceso localizado de origen multifactorial que se inicia luego de ocurrida la erupción dentaria, determinando el reblandecimiento del tejido duro del diente y que puede evolucionar hasta la formación de una cavidad. La cavidad oral contiene muchas bacterias, de las cuales son las acidogénicas las que están involucradas en el proceso carioso, a la par que también existen bacterias alcalogénicas contrarrestando esta acidogenicidad. El propósito de este trabajo es determinar la correlación entre bacterias alcalogénicas y salud oral presentes en niños de 6 y 7 años de edad. Material y métodos: Se tomaron muestras a 110 niños de 6 y 7 años de edad de saliva y placa bacteriana del sector norte de la RM, recolectando muestras de placa y muestras de saliva. Se realizó examen dentario determinando COPD/ceod. Se procedió a realizar extracción de ADN de cada muestra y determinar la cantidad de Streptococcus sanguinis, Streptococcus mutans y Streptococcus gordonii mediante qPCR. Los datos se analizaron y correlacionaron según la experiencia de caries y el número de copias por mililitros de cada bacteria analizada. Resultados: La abundancia de S. sanguinis en placa y saliva basándose en la mediana es mayor para el grupo “libres de caries” (CF) que para “caries activa” (CA), sin embargo, los resultados no son significativos. S. gordonii muestra mayor abundancia en el grupo CA que en CF siendo significativo solo para muestras de placa. En el caso de S. mutans, el recuento fue mayor en el grupo CA que en el CF para placa y saliva siendo ambos resultados significativos. Conclusiones: Las bacterias S. sanguinis y S. gordonii no son exclusivas de sujetos libres de caries, estando presentes en todos los grupos evaluados con diferente actividad cariogénica. Existe una tendencia de mayor abundancia de S. sanguinis en placa y saliva en niños CF. Por otro lado, S. gordonii no tiene una asociación positiva con sujetos libres de caries. Hay presencia de S. mutans en todos los grupos, pero su mayor recuento reside en sujetos CA, existiendo una asociación positiva significativa. Por último, la herramienta qPCR puede ser útil al contribuir a nuestro conocimiento sobre la composición de la biopelícula dental.

Resumo: Streptococcus sanguinis é colonizador comensal da superfícies dos dentes e patógeno comum de endocardite bacteriana em seres humanos. A colonização da cavidade oral por S. sanguinis depende, em parte, de interações de superfície bacteriana com componentes adsorvidos na superfície dos dentes (que são principalmente de origem salivar) chamado película adquirida (PA). Além disso, os produtos do metabolismo aeróbio de S. sanguinis, por exemplo, peróxido de hidrogênio, inibe o crescimento de espécies de estreptococos concorrentes e promove a liberação de DNA genômico, um componente da matriz extracelular do biofilme dental. S. sanguinis se adapta fisiologicamente a saliva durante suas fases de colonização na cavidade oral, que provavelmente envolve alterações dinâmicas em seu transcriptoma. Transcriptomas bacterianos são regulados pelos sistemas de dois componentes (SDC), que consistem de uma membrana sensora de histidina quinase (HK) e um regulador de resposta intracelular cognato (RR). A HK sofre autofosforilação sob estímulos específicos e fosforila RR cognato, que por sua vez se liga às regiões reguladoras de genes alvo, induzindo ou reprimindo a transcrição. S. sanguinis SK36 tem um ortólogo de SDC SptRS designado (de Saliva persistência) envolvidos na sobrevivência e persistência na saliva humana em S. pyogenes. O objetivo deste estudo foi investigar o papel do SDC SptRS na biologia de S. sanguinis. Para isso, mutantes knockout de sptR (SKsptR-) e sptS (SKsptS-) foram obtidos a partir da cepa SK36. Mutantes sptRS foram analisados quanto ao crescimento planctônico e biofilme em meio suplementado ou não com saliva humana. Liberação de DNA, produção de peróxido de hidrogênio, autólise e sensibilidade ao stresse oxidativo também foram analisados nestas cepas. Alterações da transcrição dos genes associados a fenótipos observados foram avaliadas por meio de RT - qPCR. Sob aerobiose, mutantes sptRS formaram cadeias muito longas e agregados de cocos. O crescimento mais lento em comparação com SK36 também foi observado. Por outro lado, um aumento significativo (cerca de 2 vezes ) em biomassa do biofilme foram encontrados em mutantes em comparação com SK36 na presença de saliva. Consistentemente, mutantes liberaram 2 a 5 vezes mais DNA ao meio e produziram 2 a 3 vezes mais de H2O2 em comparação com a cepa selvagem. Não foram observadas alterações em autólise induzida por alta temperatura. Os mutantes mostraram um aumento da tolerância ao stresse oxidativo, mas reduções de 1 a 2 logs na contagem de células (ufc / ml ) durante a incubação em saliva. A análise de RT- qPCR revelou que SptRS regula negativamente os genes que codificam as hidrolases mureína (SSA_0094 e cwdP); aumentos de 2,14 e 14,7 vezes nestes genes foram respectivamente observados em mutantes SKsptR-. Além disso, nos mutantes sptRS foram observados aumentos de 15,5 a 27,9 vezes em transcritos do gene spxB, que codifica a oxidase piruvato necessária para a produção de H2O2. Outros genes associados com a produção H2O2 também foram afetados nos mutantes [ackA (aumento de 5,3-9,7 vezes); tpK (aumento de 12,19 vezes)]. Este estudo fornece evidências de que SptRS regula as funções de S. sanguinis de estabelecimento em biofilmes associados à produção de H2O2 e liberação de DNA, e participa da sobrevivência das bactérias na saliva humana
Abstract: Streptococcus sanguinis is commensal colonizer of tooth surfaces and common pathogen of bacterial endocarditis in humans. The colonization of the oral cavity by S. sanguinis depends in part, on bacterial surface interactions with components adsorbed to tooth surfaces (which are primarily of salivary origin) called acquired pellicle (AP). In addition, products of S. sanguinis aerobic metabolism, e.g. hydrogen peroxide, inhibits the growth of competitor streptococcal species and promotes the release of genomic DNA, a component of the extracellular matrix of dental biofilms. S. sanguinis physiological adaptation to saliva during the stages of colonization of the oral cavity, likely involves dynamic changes in its transcriptome. Bacterial transcriptomes are regulated by two-component systems (TCS), which consist of a membrane sensor histidine kinase (HK) and a cognate intracellular response regulator (RR). The HK undergoes autophosphorylation under specific stimuli and phosphorylates the cognate RR, which in turn binds to regulatory regions of target genes, inducing or repressing transcription. S. sanguinis SK36 strain has an orthologue of the TCS designated SptRS (of Saliva persistence) involved in survival and persistence in human saliva in S. pyogenes. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of SptRS TCS in S. sanguinis biology. To that purpose, knockout mutants of sptR (SKsptR-), and sptS (SKsptS-) genes were obtained in strain SK36. SptRS mutants were analyzed regarding to planktonic and biofilm growth in medium supplemented or not with human saliva. DNA release, production of hydrogen peroxide, autolysis and sensitivity to oxidative stress were also analyzed in these strains. Transcriptional changes in genes associated with observed phenotypes were then assessed by RT-qPCR. Under aerobiosis, sptS/R mutants formed extremely long chains and aggregates of cocci. Slower growth compared to SK36 was also observed. On the other hand, significant increases (about 2-fold) in biofilm biomass were found in mutants compared to SK36 in the presence of saliva. Consistently, mutants released 2 to 5-fold more DNA to medium and produced 2 to 3-fold more H2O2 compared to parent strain. No changes were observed in autolysis induced by high temperature. Mutants showed increased tolerance to oxidative stress, but reductions of 1 to 2 logs in cell counts (cfu/ml) during incubation in saliva. RT- qPCR analysis revealed that SptRS negatively regulates genes encoding murein hydrolases (SSA_0094 and cwdP); increases of 2.14 and 14.7-folds in these genes were respectively observed in SKsptR mutants. In addition, 15.5 to 27.9-fold increases in sptR/S mutants were observed in spxB transcripts, which encode pyruvate oxidase required for H2O2 production. Other genes associated with H2O2 production were also affected in mutants [ackA (5.3 to 9.7-fold increases; tpK (12.19-fold increase)]. This study provides evidence that SptRS regulates functions for S. sanguinis establishment in biofilms associated with H2O2 production and DNA release, and participates in bacterial survival in human saliva

Resumo: Streptococcus mutans é o principal patógeno da cárie dental em humanos, por ser capaz de se acumular no biofilme dentário principalmente na presença de sacarose e produzir e tolerar grandes concentrações de ácidos, os quais causam a desmineralização dos dentes. Além disto, S. mutans pode estar associado à etiologia da endocardite bacteriana, doença cuja evolução envolve a formação de biofilmes em válvulas cardíacas lesadas. S. mutans expressa diversas proteínas de superfície envolvidas na adesão e acúmulo bacteriano em biofilmes. Estas incluem as glucosiltransferases (codificadas por gtfB, gtfC e gtfD), as quais sintetizam glucanos extracelulares a partir da sacarose, e as proteínas ligantes de glucano (codificadas por gbpA, gbpB, gbpC e gbpD). Os genes gtfB/C/D, gbpB/C são controlados diretamente pela proteína reguladora CovR. Em diversas espécies patogênicas de Streptococcus, como Streptococcus pyogenes e Streptococcus agalactiae, CovR compõe o sistema regulador de transcrição de dois componentes CovRS (Cov, de control of virulence), o qual regula diversos genes de virulência. Em S. mutans, CovR foi identificado como um regulador órfão pois o gene que codifica o receptor de membrana cognato não foi identificado no mesmo locus gênico de covR. Em S. mutans, CovR regula diversos genes envolvidos na formação de biofilmes (gtfB/C, gbpC e gbpB), na biossíntese do envelope celular e na resposta a estresses. Os estímulos que ativam CovR em S. mutans ainda não são conhecidos. O presente projeto visa caracterizar a participação de CovR na resposta de S. mutans ao contato com a saliva e sangue humano. Para isto, uma cepa knock-out de covR- foi comparada com a respectiva cepa selvagem quanto ao crescimento e/ou sobrevida em saliva e sangue de voluntários saudáveis. O efeito da exposição à saliva na expressão dos genes regulados diretamente por CovR também foi avaliado
Abstract: Streptococcus mutans is the main pathogen of dental caries in humans, because it can accumulate in the biofilm in the presence of sucrose and produce and tolerate high concentrations of acids, which cause demineralization of teeth. Moreover, S. mutans is involved in the etiology of bacterial endocarditis, a disease whose evolution involves the formation of biofilms on damaged heart valves. S. mutans expresses several surface proteins involved in bacterial adhesion and accumulation in biofilms. These include the glucosiltransferases (gtfB, gtfC and gtfD), which synthesize extracellular glucans from sucrose, and glucan binding proteins (encoded by gbpA/B/C/D). The genes gtfB/C/D, and gbpB/C are directly controlled by the regulatory protein CovR. In several pathogenic species of Streptococcus, such as S. pyogenes and S. agalactiae, CovR is the transcriptional regulator that compose the two-component system CovRS (Cov for control of virulence), which regulates several virulence genes. In S. mutans, CovR was identified as an orphan regulator, because the gene encoding its cognate membrane receptor was not identified at the same locus of covR. In S. mutans, CovR regulates several genes involved in biofilm formation (gtfB/C, and gbpB/C), in biosynthesis of the cell envelope and in stress responses. The stimuli which activate CovR in S. mutans are not yet known. This project aims to characterize the participation of CovR in S. mutans response to contact with saliva and blood. To this purpose, a knock-out mutant of covR was compared with parent strain regarding growth and/or survival in human saliva and blood. The effect of exposure to saliva in the expression of genes directly by covR was also analyzed

Ten implants from each surface were selected for every studied microorganism and association. In order to analyze the adherence, suspensions of microorganisms bearing 106 viable cells/ml in spectrophotometer were prepared. Additionally, every microorganism and association was divided in three groups: in the first, an implant was removed from its wrap and put right away into the sauce; the second, it was previously drenched into saliva for one hour; and the last one, into plasma, for one hour, as well. The implants were separately placed in culturing plaque wells of cells containing saccharose sauce (in vitro plaque) and the microorganism's suspension. After 24 hours of incubation time at 37 °C and 5% of CO2, the implants were taken washed three times for a minute in saline sterile solution and put in a sonicator holding 10 ml of saline in order to disperse adherent cells. Then, seriated dilutions were done, and sowing in culture media specific for each of the. After a 48hincubation time at 37°C and 5% of CO2, a counting was carried, of the colony forming units (UFC/ml) and the data were submitted to the ANOVA, Tukey test, at a significance level of 5%. To illustrate the adherence of the microorganisms, some samples were exposed to electronic sweeping microscopy. The results did show great microorganism adherence to the surfaces studied, mainly when associated forming a biofilm. The anodized surface... (Complete abstract click electronic access below)

Full textAbstract:
Infectious diseases are the top leading cause of death worldwide. Identifying essential genes, genes indispensable for survival, has been proven indispensable in defining new therapeutic targets against pathogens, major elements of the minimal set genome to be harnessed in synthetic biology, and determinants of evolutionary relationships of phylogenetically distant species. Thus, essentiality studies promise valuable revenues that can decipher much of biological complexities.
Taking advantage of the available microbial sequences and the essentiality studies conducted in various microbial models, we proposed a framework for the prediction of essential genes based on our experimentally verified knowledge of the pathways involved in three essential xiv functions: genetic information processing, cell wall biosynthesis, and energy metabolism. We investigated physiological pathways in Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) database and developed a bioinformatics approach to predict essential genes in 13 different microbial species. Our in silico findings matched to a high degree the experimental data derived from essentiality studies conducted on the same microbial models, providing insights about the microbial lifestyles, including energy resources, cell wall structure, and ecological preferences, but not virulence tools and mechanisms.
Furthermore, we believe that essential genes have survived the evolutionary purifying selection due to their evolved capacity to re-wire genetic and protein networks in response to any emerging stress. In this sense, an environmental specificity (stress) provides a dominant determinant of an essential gene set. The new challenge was understanding the contribution of the essential genome in S. sanguinis to the coping mechanisms to different clinically relevant stress factors, namely temperature elevation (43oC) and sub-inhibitory concentration of ampicillin, an abundantly prescribed antibiotic for prophylaxis and treatment against S. sanguinis. The current project investigated the transcriptomic and proteomic profiles of essential genes and proteins, using RNA-seq and mass spectrometry respectively, under the impact of the two stressors separately, to elucidate the essential genome and proteome dynamics on a temporal basis and define “pathogenesis signatures” as potential therapeutic targets. We believe that the current findings will help characterize a bacterial model for studying the dynamics of essential genes and assist in designing evidence-based guidelines for drug prescription in clinical practice.

Previous issue date: 2008-03-10The present study has the objective to evaluate the epidemiologic factors related to respiratory diseases in thoroughbred foals placed in four stud farms around the city of Bagé/RS region, Brazil. Apart from the collection of data linked to breeding management practices, the evaluations consisted of the diary clinical control and complementary examinations for diagnosis using secretions collected from the respiratory tract of the foals affected with respiratory diseases. Among the 349 monitored foals until their 180 days of life, the incidence of 9,5% (33) of respiratory cases with 0,57% (2) of mortality was recorded. The concentration of cases was higher in months of summer, the 120 and 180 days old foals were more susceptible. The occurrence of the diseases was influenced by the breeding system and management practices that increased the environmental contamination potential, and also by the contact among the foals. No clinic case was related to the equine influenza virus (EIV) and to the equine herpesvirus (EHV) pathogens. Among the isolated pathogens, the highest frequency was for Streptococcus equi (57%), followed by Rhodococcus equi (17%) and this one was responsible for 50% of lethality. The obtained results suggest that connected factors to the management in the breeding of thoroughbred equine are going to contribute decisively for the manifestation of the respiratory disease and alert for the high morbidity caused by the equine adenitis and the high lethality related to Rhodococcus equi pathogens.
O presente estudo teve por objetivo avaliar fatores epidemiológicos associados com doenças respiratórias em potros Puro Sangue Inglês (PSI) alojados em 4 propriedades na região da cidade de Bagé-RS, Brasil. Além da coleta de dados ligados ao manejo de criação, as avaliações consistiram no monitoramento clínico diário e exames complementares de diagnóstico a partir de secreções colhidas do trato respiratório de potros com enfermidade respiratória. Entre os 349 potros monitorados até os 180 dias de vida, pôde-se registrar a incidência de 9,5% (33) de casos respiratórios, com mortalidade de 0,57% (2). A concentração de casos foi mais elevada nos meses de verão e potros com idade entre 120 e 180 dias foram mais suscetíveis. A ocorrência de doenças foi influenciada pelo sistema de criação e práticas de manejo que aumentaram o potencial de contaminação do ambiente e o contato entre potros. Nenhum caso clínico foi relacionado ao vírus da influenza (EIV) e ao herpesvírus eqüino (EHV). Entre os isolados, a maior freqüência foi de Streptococcus equi (57%), seguido do Rhodococcus equi (17%), este responsável pela letalidade de 50%. Os resultados sugerem que fatores ligados ao manejo na criação de eqüinos PSI parecem contribuir decisivamente para a manifestação da doença respiratória e alertam para a elevada morbidade causada pela adenite eqüina e a alta letalidade associada à rodococose entre potros jovens (>180 dias).
