(SA) and (PA) are known to cause biofilm-related infections. MRSA and PA have been frequently isolated from chronically infected wounds, cystic fibrosis, chronic suppurative otitis media (CSOM), and from indwelling medical devices, and these bacteria co-exist; however, their interaction with each-other or with the host is not well known. In this study, we investigated MRSA and PA multi-species biofilm communities and their interaction with the host during colonization using an OM rat-model. biofilm formation and colonization were studied using CV-microtiter plate assay and OM rat-model respectively. The biofilms were viewed under scanning electron microscope and bacteria were enumerated using cfu counts. The differential gene expressions of rat mucosa colonized with single or multi-species of MRSA or PA were studied using RNA-sequencing of total transcriptome. In multi-species biofilms PA partially inhibited SA growth. However, no significant inhibition of MRSA was detected during colonization of multi-species in rat bullae. A total of 1,797 genes were significantly ( < 0.05) differentially expressed in MRSA or PA or MRSA + PA colonized rat middle ear mucosa with respect to the control. The poly-microbial colonization of MRSA and PA induced the differential expression of a significant number of genes that are involved in immune response, inflammation, signaling, development, and defense; these were not expressed with single species colonization by either MRSA or PA. Genes involved in defense, immune response, inflammatory response, and developmental process were exclusively up-regulated, and genes that are involved in nervous system signaling, development and transmission, regulation of cell growth and development, anatomical and system development, and cell differentiation were down-regulated after multi-species inoculation. These results indicate that poly-microbial colonization induces a host response that is different from that induced by single species infection.
(SA)和(PA)已知会引起生物膜相关感染。耐甲氧西林金黄色葡萄球菌(MRSA)和 PA 经常从慢性感染的伤口、囊性纤维化、慢性化脓性中耳炎(CSOM)和留置的医疗设备中分离出来,这些细菌共存;然而,它们之间的相互作用或与宿主的相互作用尚不清楚。在这项研究中,我们使用 OM 大鼠模型研究了 MRSA 和 PA 多物种生物膜群落及其在定植过程中与宿主的相互作用。使用 CV 微量滴定板测定法和 OM 大鼠模型分别研究了生物膜形成和定植。使用扫描电子显微镜观察生物膜,并使用 CFU 计数对细菌进行计数。使用总转录组的 RNA 测序研究了单一或多种 MRSA 或 PA 定植大鼠黏膜的差异基因表达。在多物种生物膜中,PA 部分抑制了 SA 的生长。然而,在大鼠中耳泡中多物种定植期间,MRSA 的生长没有明显抑制。与对照相比,在 MRSA 或 PA 或 MRSA+PA 定植的大鼠中耳黏膜中,共有 1797 个基因的表达有显著差异(<0.05)。MRSA 和 PA 的多微生物定植诱导了大量参与免疫反应、炎症、信号转导、发育和防御的基因的差异表达,这些基因在单一物种定植时均未表达。与单一物种定植相比,涉及防御、免疫反应、炎症反应和发育过程的基因被特异性上调,而涉及神经系统信号转导、发育和传递、细胞生长和发育调节、解剖和系统发育以及细胞分化的基因被下调。这些结果表明,多微生物定植诱导的宿主反应与单一物种感染诱导的反应不同。
