The M. bovis BCG Pasteur strain (ATCC 35734) or M. tuberculosis H37Rv and derivatives with deletion of the Rv3134c-dosR-dosS operon (referred to as H37Rv dosR KO in Fig. 2) and its complemented strain (referred to as H37Rv dosR::KO::Comp in Fig. 2) 27 were used in this study. Planktonic cultures were performed in Middlebrook 7H9 liquid media (BD) with 10% OADC, 0.2% glycerol, 25 µg/mL of kanamycin, at 37 °C, 100 rpm. Serial dilutions of samples were followed by plating onto Middlebrook 7H10 agar plates supplemented with 10% OADC, 0.5% glycerol, and 25 µg/mL kanamycin served to determine colony-forming units per milliliter (CFU/mL). Biofilms (which include bacteria attached to the plastic wells and surface pellicles) for RNA extraction of BCG strains were cultured in Sauton media as already reported 9. After 1, 7, 10 and 14 days of incubation, two culture flasks were used to harvest, with a scraper, the whole surface pellicle and biofilm attached to the wells (these samples are referred to as “biofilms”), and transferred into 50 mL tubes that were immediately frozen at − 70 °C. From frozen samples, we proceeded to perform RNA extraction and purification as already reported 41, to ship these samples to Arizona State University for RNA-Seq analyses. The experiment was repeated three (7, 10, and 14 days cultures) or four times (24 h cultures, because of the low biomass present at this time point), to produce independent replicates. Temporal expression profiling during biofilm production by BCG Sono Simona, 39 anni, di Bologna e ho appena concluso il mio percorso con un Coach SAUTÓN con risultati strabilianti!

Our results first demonstrate that the presence of zinc sulphate is essential to obtain optimal growth of M. brumae when L-asparagine is the amino acid source in the formulation, with no impact observed when L-asparagine was substituted with L-glutamate. Accordingly, the presence of this inorganic compound in cultures of M. tuberculosis provides improved biomass production and it plays an important role in media with asparagine as a nitrogen source [ 34]. This could be explained by the presence of the aspartate transaminase enzyme, which produces L-glutamate from aspartate, obtained from asparagine hydrolysis, which is more efficient in the presence of zinc, allowing the formation of larger pellicles, as described for Sauton-grown M. bovis BCG [ 23, 35]. The addition of zinc sulphate was therefore included in M. brumae culture optimization. Se è difficile seguire il programma? Si tratta di cambiare qualche vecchia abitudine, ma una volta capito che funziona e che lo stai facendo per te, è facile e anche divertente. In this study, we propose a model for elevated level of drug tolerance and high frequency of persisters of M. tuberculosis in biofilms. It is apparent from the Tn-seq analysis that significantly more genes are required for fitness of M. tuberculosis cells in biofilms than in other growth conditions. Cells growing within the complex biofilm architecture must be able to adapt to limiting nutrients and oxygen, as well as mechanical stresses. It is therefore not surprising that genes involved in the stringent response pathway ( relA), cell wall integrity ( mma4, ponA2, mmpL10, fadA2, pks16, etc.) or nutrient homeostasis ( sugA, Rv2606c, sdaA, pstC2, pstA1, and phoT) are more crucial for M. tuberculosis fitness in biofilms than in planktonic culture. However, the correlation of a subset of these genes with antibiotic tolerance—e.g., mma4 ( 31), ponA2 ( 45), pstA1 ( 44), and Rv2224c ( 45)—suggests that a greater fraction of biofilm cells can survive for a longer exposure to antibiotics than planktonic cells. The extended survival of the biofilm population under antibiotic exposure would allow greater opportunity for the occurrence of persister cells, which emerge through mechanisms related to intrinsic defense against antibiotic-induced toxicity ( 46). In support of this hypothesis, we detected a lower frequency of persisters in morphologically normal biofilms of the Δ pstC2A1 mutant, providing a reasonable platform to systematically evaluate the contribution of other identified genes in this study in drug tolerance of M. tuberculosis biofilms. We note that rifampin sensitivity was also observed in the Δ phoT and Δ dgt mutants (J.P.R. and A.O., unpublished results). Moreover, the normal morphology of Δ pstC2A1 mutant biofilms suggests that the physical barrier presumably formed by the three-dimensional architecture of biofilms has a limited contribution to the development of RIF-tolerant persisters; instead the intrinsic sensitivity of resident cells to the drug plays a significant role. Thus, a primary role of the biofilm architecture is to create growth environments that foster enrichment of cells maintaining tolerance to antibiotics.

This gives you a better When the interaction between mycobacteria and eukaryotic cells was studied, our results demonstrated that the composition of the culture medium has an impact on the antitumor and immunostimulatory activity of mycobacteria. M. brumae and M. bovis BCG enter both macrophages and BC cells and are killed or not ( M. brumae or M. bovis BCG, respectively) independently of the medium in which they were grown. However, the capacity to inhibit tumor growth and to trigger a favorable immune response was significantly enhanced in M. brumae grown in A60 and in M. bovis BCG grown in G15 compared to the rest of the culture conditions. We hypothesize that the differences observed between both mycobacteria could be explained by a different antigenic profile, which could clearly influence the interaction with the host. In fact, growing evidence has suggested direct links between metabolic adaptation of mycobacteria and the composition and immunoreactivity of their cell surface lipids [ 46]. In response to the environment, mycobacteria are able to control the composition and quantity of immunostimulatory molecules. It is known that growth in glycerol-rich medium leads to increased amounts of lipids and glycolipids on the mycobacterial cell wall, as has been described, for instance, in Mycobacterium phlei or Mycobacterium avium subsp. hominissuis [ 24, 27]. This may account for the high mycobacterial cell length found in our work ( Figure 3) and previous works [ 47] or/and the high mass of bacilli obtained on this substrate per unit volume of culture medium [ 24]. Glycerol assimilation can alter growth rate, metabolism, cellular structure, and even drug sensitivity in mycobacteria [ 48]. After entering cells via membrane diffusion [ 49], glycerol drives catabolism, allowing mycobacterial cells to obtain ATP, or anabolism, triggering high levels of cell wall compounds such as trehalose mono- and diacyl-mycolates or triacylglycerides [ 50, 51] that are involved in interactions with host cells [ 52, 53, 54]. Although the cell wall composition differs substantially between M. brumae and M. bovis BCG [ 55], these mycobacteria share several genus-specific antigens, such as the previously mentioned trehalose-mycolates or phosphatidylinositol mannosides. We did not find differences in the presence of these glycolipids, but a deeper analysis of the cell wall composition of each mycobacterium in each medium is currently being undertaken. Moreover, alteration in the cell wall composition modifies cell wall permeability, probably also leading to a variation in antigen release. Therefore, not only lipidic antigens but also released proteins are modified in the same species after growth in different culture media [ 11, 15, 56]. Curiously, each commercially available M. bovis BCG strain is grown in different conditions containing different nitrogen and carbon sources, which ultimately may affect its efficacy [ 57]. Discerning the specific antigenic profile of each mycobacterium in each culture medium could provide us with information about the unknown antigens needed for antitumoral activity.

Tempo un mese e ho iniziato il programma: potete immaginare la mia sorpresa e quella dei miei familiari quando nelle sole 4 settimane di Restart ho perso 12 kg! Il mantenimento lo si sceglie facilmente quando ti accorgi dei disturbi che crea l’alimentazione sbagliata di prima e di quanto si sta bene con quella corretta. We then evaluated the expression of BCG0114, dosR, BCG0642c, ethR, and BCG3766c by RT-qPCR. dosR and BCG0114 were specifically downregulated at the intercellular aggregation step while both of them were upregulated at the substrate attachment stage (Supplementary Table 1), and as part of the DosR-regulon their role in regulating expression of other genes have been described 12, 13, 16. BCG0642c, which encodes for a conserved hypothetical protein with a PhdYeFM antitoxin domain, was significantly upregulated only during intercellular aggregation and downregulated ( p = 0.06) at the substrate attachment step (Supplementary Table 1). ethR was specifically downregulated during surface attachment, while BCG3766c, which encodes for a conserved hypothetical proline rich protein, was also was close to significant downregulation during surface attachment and almost reached the criteria to be considered as significantly affected during the intercellular aggregation step (FC 0.76, p = 0.022). Parlando di molte cose, mi disse di aver perso 15 kg grazie a un metodo alimentare molto interessante di una naturopata di Malta di nome Francesca.Per il mio corpo e la mia mente è stata la rivoluzione che attendevo da tempo e che mi ha permesso di comprendere e spezzare ciò che mi rendeva stanca, nervosa, irritabile e obesa. Taken together, the most significant changes that BCG experiences during the early stages of biofilm production were the downregulation of genes of the DosR-regulon during intercellular aggregation, and their upregulation upon substrate attachment. Further, we found a plausible explanation for the temporary requirement of genes already reported to be required for biofilm production ( PE1, nirB, lsr2, groEL1, kasA, kasB, fas, and acpM) in mycobacteria.
