    Abstract The incidences of methicillin-resistant strains of Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and their survival inside the macrophages are the major attributes of the relapsed infections after antimicrobial therapy, and it is a global problem. In this context, we have previously demonstrated 4-methoxy-1-methyl-2-oxopyridine-3-carbamide (MMOXC), a Ricinine derivative exhibiting anti-S. aureus and anti-biofilm characteristics by competitively inhibiting uridine monophosphate kinase (UMPK), UDP-N-acetyl muramyl pentapeptide ligase (Mur-F), and peptidyl deformylase, (PDF). In the present study, the stability of this competitive inhibitor MMOXC was evaluated by showing its ability to remain bound to the active sites of UMPK, Mur-F, and PDF even after increasing the incubation time, temperature, pH, and substrate concentration. On growing MRSA in fewer concentrations of MMOXC, these strains could not attain resistance to MMOXC and at the same time distinct reductions in the expression of UMPK, Mur-F, and PDF genes were noted. In vitro, infective models were generated by infecting MRSA to RAW 264.7 and human monocyte-derived macrophage (hMDM) cell lines. In these infected cell lines, in spite of increased nitric oxide synthase (NOS), NADPH-P450 reductase, superoxide dismutase, catalase, and peroxidase activities, the MRSA survived. At 640 µM/ml, the concentration of MMOXC penetrated into these infected cells and obliterated MRSA. While treating uninfected macrophage cell lines with MMOXC, no appreciable effect was observed indicating that MMOXC is the most suitable drug for the treatment of infections caused by MRSA.

    Abstract Staphylococcus aureus biofilms are the pathogenic factor in the spread of infection and are more pronounced in multidrug-resistant strains of S. aureus, where high expression of proteases is observed. Among various proteases, Serine protease (SspA) and cysteine protease Staphopain B (SspB) are known to play a key role in the biofilm formation and removal of biofilms. In earlier studies, we have reported Dibenzyl (benzo [d] thiazol-2-yl (hydroxy) methyl) phosphonate (DBTMP) exhibits anti-S. aureus and anti-biofilm properties by elevating the expression of the protease. In this study, the effect of DBTMP on the activities of SspA, and SspB of S. aureus was evaluated. The SspA and SspB genes of S. aureus ATCC12600 were sequenced (Genbank accession numbers: MZ456982 and MW574006). In S. aureus active SspA is formed by proteolytic cleavage of immature SspA, to get this mature SspA (mSspA), we have PCR amplified the mSspA sequence from the SspA gene. The mSspA and SspB genes were cloned, expressed, and characterized. The pure recombinant proteins rSspB and rmSspA exhibited a single band in SDS-PAGE with a molecular weight of 40 and 30 KD, respectively. The activities of rmSspA and rSspB are 32.33 and 35.45 Units/mL correspondingly. DBTMP elevated the activities of rmSspA and rSspB by docking with respective enzymes. This compound disrupted the biofilms formed by the multidrug-resistant strains of S. aureus and further prevented biofilm formation. These findings explain that DBTMP possesses anti-S. aureus and anti-biofilm features.

    Abstract Leptospirosis, a remerging zoonosis, has no effective vaccine or an unambiguous early diagnostic reagent. Proteins differentially expressed (DE) under pathogenic conditions will be useful candidates for antileptospiral measures. We employed a multipronged approach comprising high-resolution TMT-labeled LC-MS/MS-based proteome analysis coupled with bioinformatics on leptospiral proteins following Triton X-114 subcellular fractionation of leptospires treated under physiological temperature and osmolarity that mimic infection. Although there were significant changes in the DE proteins at the level of the entire cell, there were notable changes in proteins at the subcellular level, particularly on the outer membrane (OM), that show the significance of subcellular proteome analysis. The detergent-enriched proteins, representing outer membrane proteins (OMPs), exhibited a dynamic nature and upregulation under various physiological conditions. It was found that pathogenic proteins showed a higher proportion of upregulation compared to the nonpathogenic proteins in the OM. Further analysis identified 17 virulent proteins exclusively upregulated in the outer membrane during infection that could be useful for vaccine and diagnostic targets. The DE proteins may aid in metabolic adaptation and are enriched in pathways related to signal transduction and antibiotic biosynthesis. Many upregulated proteins belong to protein export systems such as SEC translocase, T2SSs, and T1SSs, indicating their sequential participation in protein transport to the outer leaflet of the OM. Further studies on OM-localized proteins may shed light on the pathogenesis of leptospirosis and serve as the basis for effective countermeasures.

    Abstract Leptospirosis, a global reemerging zoonosis caused by the spirochete Leptospira, has severe human and veterinary implications. Cell wall hydrolase (LIC_10271) with LytM (peptidase M23) and LysM domains are found to be associated with various pathogenic bacteria. These domains regulate effects on extracellular matrix and biofilm components, which promote cell wall remodeling and pathogen dissemination in the host. In this study, we present the cloning, expression, purification, and characterization of LIC_10271. To determine the localization of LIC_10271 within the inner membrane of Leptospira, Triton X-114 subcellular fractionation and immunoblot studies were performed. Furthermore, r-LIC_10271 binds with peptidoglycan, lipopolysaccharide, and laminin in a dose-dependent manner. Analysis of the signal peptide, M23, and LysM domains revealed conservation primarily within the P1 group of Leptospira, which encompasses the most pathogenic species. Moreover, the presence of native-LIC_10271 in the inner membrane and the distribution of M23 and LysM domains across pathogenic strains indicates their potential involvement in the interaction between the host and Leptospira.

    Abstract Introduction: To get a comprehensive idea about the transmission and epidemiology of TB globally and locally, the use of molecular typing methods has become imperative not only for understanding genetic diversity but also the population structure of Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC). We aimed to investigate the drug resistance pattern and genetic diversity of MTBC among previously treated patients with sputum smear-positive pulmonary tuberculosis in a South Indian population.
    Methodology: 104 patients with sputum smear positivity and who had previously undergone treatment were selected. Drug susceptibility testing, Spoligotyping, MIRU-VNTR, and SNP typing were performed.
    Results: Mono-resistance to isoniazid 16 (15.38%) was the highest among all drugs. Out of 104 isolates, 24 (23%) isolates were classified as MDR strains. The distributions of most common lineages were: EAI3-Ind-20 (19.23%), EAI5-13 (12.50%), Beijing-12 (11.54%), CAS1-Delhi- 9 (8.65%), and 7 (6.73%) each of T-H37rv, Unknown and Orphan types. MIRU-VNTR-based analysis revealed that there are two major groups: CAS1-Delhi and Beijing groups. Out of 104 isolates, 82 belonged to well-defined lineages and 6 clusters, and the remaining 22 were singletons. SNP analysis showed no mutations associated with five sets of genes in 33 strains.
    Conclusions: The occurrence of 11.54% Beijing strains in South India is an important finding. High frequency of Isoniazid mono resistance noticed. Spoligotyping along with MIRU-VNTR and SNP typing is the best approach to the identification of strain lineages. No mutation with Antigen85C gene represents, can be used for vaccine candidates.

    Abstract Posttranslational modifications (PTMs) are decisive factors in the structure, function, and localization of proteins in prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms. However, prokaryotic organisms lack subcellular organelles, and protein localization based on subcellular locations like cytoplasm, inner membrane, periplasm, and outer membrane can be accounted for functional characterization.
