Staphylococcal bacteraemia: finding the path of least persistence Nisha Ranganathan, Rebecca Johnson, Andrew M. Edwards Background Despite the falling incidence of MRSA bacteraemia, the rate of MSSA bacteraemia is rising 1 In a significant propor@on of cases, bacteraemia persists despite appropriate therapy 2 Challenges to treatment arise as under the twin threats of an@bio@cs and the immune system, bacteria become dormant, metabolically inac@ve and are thus an@bio@c tolerant 3 The regulator of the stress response in S. aureus , SigB, regulates entry into dormancy 4 The host environment modulates an7bio7c suscep7bility A B C Figure 2. (A) Titra7ng concentra7on of AHT in the complemented sigB mutant resulted in increasing sigB expression, as evidenced by increase in pigment produc7on and (B)fibronec7n binding (both sigB dependent phenotypes). (C)Increasing survival of S. aureus in blood on increasing induc7on of sigB expression with AHT in complemented mutant but not in empty plasmid vector. Figure 1. Blood modulates an7bio7c suscep7bility of S. aureus on exposure to Cloxacillin (A) Gentamicin (B), Vancomycin (C), Ciprofloxacin (D) Clindamycin (E). With the excep7on of (B) the addi7on of an7bio7c failed to significantly enhance killing compared to blood alone, however an7bio7cs func7oned in serum. A SigB modulates an7bio7c suscep7bility in the host context Figure 4. (A) sigB effectors SA2440 and SA2452 promote survival in blood infec7on model. Increasing expression of SA2452 but not SA2440 increases survival in blood alone (A) and in blood plus cloxacillin (B) in a dose dependent manner. Increasing expression of both genes increases survival on exposure to ciprofloxacin (C). SA2440 but not SA2452 promotes survival on exposure to gentamicin (D). Conclusions Blood appears to have an inhibitory effect on the ac@vity of certain an@bio@cs. SigB promotes survival in both blood alone plus in combina@on with cloxacillin, ciprofloxacin and gentamicin. Two SigB regulated genes have been iden@fied that promote survival in an an@bio@c specific manner. Rethinking therapy in the context of the host-pathogen-drug interac@ons may lead to innova@ve solu@ons to enhance exis@ng treatment strategies. References 1. Health Protec@on Agency.
