    Abstract C-di-GMP is a bacterial second messenger implicated in the regulation of many key functions including antibiotic tolerance and biofilm formation. Our understanding of how c-di-GMP exerts its action via receptors to modulate different biological functions is still limited. Here we used a c-di-GMP affinity pull-down assay coupled to LC-MS/MS to identify c-di-GMP-binding proteins in the opportunistic pathogen Stenotrophomonas maltophilia. This analysis identified Smlt3238 (SodA), a protein of the superoxide dismutase family, as a c-di-GMP-binding protein. Microscale thermophoresis showed that purified SodA protein bound c-di-GMP with an estimated dissociation constant (Kd) value of 141.5 μM. Using various in vivo and in vitro experiments, we demonstrated that c-di-GMP modulates the enzyme activity of SodA directly. Circular dichroism experiments revealed that SodA protein gradually altered its basic structure with increasing levels of c-di-GMP. Phenotypic experiments conducted in the presence of a range of intracellular c-di-GMP levels showed that SodA function is modulated by c-di-GMP. The findings thus identify a novel c-di-GMP binding protein that governs oxidative stress tolerance in S. maltophilia.

    Abstract Anti-infection strategies against pleural empyema include the use of antibiotics and drainage treatments, but bacterial eradication rates remain low. A major challenge is the formation of biofilms in the pleural cavity. DNase has antibiofilm efficacy in vitro, and intrapleural therapy with DNase is recommended to treat pleural empyema, but the relevant mechanisms remain limited. Our aim was to investigate whether DNase I inhibit the early biofilm formation in Pseudomonas aeruginosa- or Staphylococcus aureus-induced empyema models. We used various assays, such as crystal violet staining, confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) analysis, peptide nucleic acid-fluorescence in situ hybridization (PNA-FISH), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis. Our results suggested that DNase I significantly inhibited early biofilm formation in a dose-dependent manner, without affecting the growth of P. aeruginosa or S. aureus in vitro. CLSM analysis confirmed that DNase I decreased the biomass and thickness of both bacterial biofilms. The PNA-FISH and SEM analyses also revealed that DNase I inhibited early (24h) biofilm formation in two empyema models. Thus, the results indicated that DNase inhibited early (24h) biofilm formation in P. aeruginosa- or S. aureus-induced rabbit empyema models and showed its therapeutic potential against empyema biofilms.
