    Abstract Intense genome sequencing of Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates from cystic fibrosis (CF) airways has shown inefficient eradication of the infecting bacteria, as well as previously undocumented patient-to-patient transmission of adapted clones. However, genome sequencing has limited potential as a predictor of chronic infection and of the adaptive state during infection, and thus there is increasing interest in linking phenotypic traits to the genome sequences. Phenotypic information ranges from genome-wide transcriptomic analysis of patient samples to determination of more specific traits associated with metabolic changes, stress responses, antibiotic resistance and tolerance, biofilm formation and slow growth. Environmental conditions in the CF lung shape both genetic and phenotypic changes of P. aeruginosa during infection. In this Review, we discuss the adaptive and evolutionary trajectories that lead to early diversification and late convergence, which enable P. aeruginosa to succeed in this niche, and we point out how knowledge of these biological features may be used to guide diagnosis and therapy.

    Abstract Persistent infections require bacteria to evolve from their naïve colonization state by optimizing fitness in the host via simultaneous adaptation of multiple traits, which can obscure evolutionary trends and complicate infection management. Accordingly, here we screen 8 infection-relevant phenotypes of 443 longitudinal Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates from 39 young cystic fibrosis patients over 10 years. Using statistical modeling, we map evolutionary trajectories and identify trait correlations accounting for patient-specific influences. By integrating previous genetic analyses of 474 isolates, we provide a window into early adaptation to the host, finding: (1) a 2-3 year timeline of rapid adaptation after colonization, (2) variant "naïve" and "adapted" states reflecting discordance between phenotypic and genetic adaptation, (3) adaptive trajectories leading to persistent infection via three distinct evolutionary modes, and (4) new associations between phenotypes and pathoadaptive mutations. Ultimately, we effectively deconvolute complex trait adaptation, offering a framework for evolutionary studies and precision medicine in clinical microbiology.

    Abstract The global rise of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) constitutes a future health threat and dictates a need to explore alternative and non-chemical approaches. The aim of this study was to explore the use of weak resonant electromagnetic fields as a method to disrupt biofilm formation of a pathogenic bacterium in cystic fibrosis patients. We developed a bioresonance laboratory setup able to distinguish between changes in planktonic growth and changes in biofilm formation and showed that certain resonant frequencies were able to affect biofilm formation without affecting planktonic growth. In addition, we show that the ambient day-to-day magnetic field affects biofilm formation in a non-consistent manner. Overall, we conclude that our assay is suitable for studying the potential of resonant magnetic fields as a treatment and prevention strategy to prevent biofilm infections, and that certain resonant frequencies may be used as future medical applications to combat antimicrobial resistance.

    Abstract In many infected patients, bacterial biofilms represent a mode of growth that significantly enhances the tolerance to antimicrobials, leaving the patients with difficult-to-cure infections. Therefore, there is a growing need for effective treatment strategies to combat biofilm infections. In this work, reservoir-based microdevices, also known as microcontainers (MCs), are co-loaded with two antibiotics: ciprofloxacin hydrochloride (CIP) and colistin sulfate (COL), targeting both metabolically active and dormant subpopulations of the biofilm. We assess the effect of the two drugs in a time-kill study of planktonic P. aeruginosa and find that co-loaded MCs are superior to monotherapy, resulting in complete killing of the entire population. Biofilm consortia of P. aeruginosa grown in flow chambers were not fully eradicated. However, antibiotics in MCs work significantly faster than simple perfusion of antibiotics (62.5 ± 8.3% versus 10.6 ± 10.1% after 5 h) in biofilm consortia, showing the potential of the MC-based treatment to minimize the use of antimicrobials in future therapies.

    Abstract Growing awareness of heterogeneity in cells of microbial populations has emphasized the importance of advanced microscopy for visualization and understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying cell-to-cell variation. In this review, we highlight some of the recent advances in confocal microscopy, super-resolution optical microscopy (STED, SIM, PALM) as well as atomic force microscopy and Raman spectroscopy. Using examples of bistability in microbial populations as well as biofilm development and differentiation in bacterial and yeast consortia, we demonstrate the importance of microscopy for visualization of variation between cells in phenotypic traits such as gene expression.

    Abstract Confined spatial patterns of microbial distribution are prevalent in nature, such as in microbial mats, soil communities, and water stream biofilms. The symbiotic two-species consortium of Pseudomonas putida and Acinetobacter sp. strain C6, originally isolated from a creosote-polluted aquifer, has evolved a distinct spatial organization in the laboratory that is characterized by an increased fitness and productivity. In this consortium, P. putida is reliant on microcolonies formed by Acinetobacter sp. C6, to which it attaches. Here we describe the processes that lead to the microcolony pattern by Acinetobacter sp. C6. Ecological spatial pattern analyses revealed that the microcolonies were not entirely randomly distributed and instead were arranged in a uniform pattern. Detailed time-lapse confocal microscopy at the single-cell level demonstrated that the spatial pattern was the result of an intriguing self-organization: small multicellular clusters moved along the surface to fuse with one another to form microcolonies. This active distribution capability was dependent on environmental factors (carbon source and oxygen) and historical contingency (formation of phenotypic variants). The findings of this study are discussed in the context of species distribution patterns observed in macroecology, and we summarize observations about the processes involved in coadaptation between P. putida and Acinetobacter sp. C6. Our results contribute to an understanding of spatial species distribution patterns as they are observed in nature, as well as the ecology of engineered communities that have the potential for enhanced and sustainable bioprocessing capacity.
