Abstract | Acinetobacter baumannii needs to adapt to hypoxia during infection. Understanding its proteome regulation during infection would allow us to determine new targets to develop novel treatments. iTRAQ proteomic analysis of A549 cell infection by the ATCC 17978 strain was performed. A total of 175 proteins were differentially expressed under hypoxia versus normoxia. We selected the hypoxia-downregulated protein OmpW to analyze its role as a virulence factor. The loss of OmpW decreased the adherence and invasion of A. baumannii in these host cells, without affecting its bacterial growth. Moreover, A549 cell viability with ΔOmpW infection was higher than that with the wild-type strain. ΔOmpW presented less biofilm formation. Finally, the minimum lethal dose required by the ΔOmpW mutant was higher than that of the wild-type strain in a murine peritoneal sepsis model, with lower bacterial loads in tissues and fluids. Therefore, OmpW seems to be a virulence factor necessary for A. baumannii pathogenesis. |
