Abstract

Clinical mastitis (CM) remains a critical challenge in dairy production, exacerbated by the global rise of antibiotic-resistant pathogens, which threatens herd health and productivity. This study pioneers a dual genomic-computational strategy to develop bacteriocin-based therapeutics-a promising alternative to conventional antibiotics-by targeting conserved virulence mechanisms in CM-causing pathogens. We aimed to (i) identify essential core proteins in CM-causing pathogens of dairy cows using the genomic approach; and (ii) assess the efficacy of bacteriocin peptides (BPs) as novel therapeutic agents targeting the selected core proteins for sustainable management of mastitis. Through pan-genomic analysis of 16 clinically relevant pathogens, including Staphylococcus aureus, S. warneri, Streptococcus agalactiae, S. uberis, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, P. putida, and P. asiatica, we identified 65 evolutionarily conserved core proteins. Prioritization based on essentiality, virulence, and resistance potential revealed Rho (transcription termination factor) and HupB (nucleoid-associated protein) as high-value therapeutic targets due to their critical roles in bacterial survival and pathogenicity. A computational screen of 70 BPs identified 14 candidates with high binding affinity for both Rho and HupB proteins. Molecular dynamics simulations demonstrated that BP8, a novel dual-action bacteriocin, competitively inhibits Rho-mediated transcription termination and disrupts HupB-DNA interactions, effectively crippling bacterial replication and virulence. BP8 exhibited superior structural stability and binding efficacy compared to other candidates, positioning it as a potent broad-spectrum agent against diverse CM pathogens, including multidrug-resistant strains. Our study underscores the untapped potential of bacteriocins in veterinary medicine, offering a sustainable solution to mitigate antibiotic overuse and resistance. The computational validation of BP8 provides a foundational framework for developing targeted therapies, with implications for reducing dairy industry losses and improving animal welfare. Further in vitro and in vivo studies are warranted to translate these insights into practical therapeutics.

摘要

临床型乳腺炎(CM)仍是奶牛养殖生产中的一项严峻挑战,而全球抗生素耐药性病原体的增加使这一挑战更加严峻,这对畜群健康和生产力构成了威胁。本研究开创了一种双重基因组 - 计算策略,通过靶向引起CM的病原体中保守的毒力机制,开发基于细菌素的治疗方法——这是传统抗生素的一种有前景的替代方案。我们的目标是:(i)使用基因组方法鉴定奶牛CM病原体中的必需核心蛋白;(ii)评估细菌素肽(BPs)作为针对所选核心蛋白的新型治疗剂对乳腺炎进行可持续管理的疗效。通过对16种临床相关病原体进行泛基因组分析,包括金黄色葡萄球菌、沃氏葡萄球菌、无乳链球菌、乳房链球菌、大肠杆菌、肺炎克雷伯菌、铜绿假单胞菌、恶臭假单胞菌和亚洲假单胞菌,我们鉴定出65种进化保守的核心蛋白。基于必需性、毒力和耐药潜力进行优先级排序后发现,Rho(转录终止因子)和HupB(类核相关蛋白)因其在细菌存活和致病性中的关键作用而成为高价值治疗靶点。对70种BPs进行的计算筛选确定了14种对Rho和HupB蛋白具有高结合亲和力的候选物。分子动力学模拟表明,新型双效细菌素BP8竞争性抑制Rho介导的转录终止并破坏HupB与DNA的相互作用,有效削弱细菌复制和毒力。与其他候选物相比,BP8表现出卓越的结构稳定性和结合效力,使其成为对抗包括多重耐药菌株在内的多种CM病原体的强效广谱剂。我们的研究强调了细菌素在兽医学中尚未开发的潜力,为减轻抗生素过度使用和耐药性提供了一种可持续的解决方案。BP8的计算验证为开发靶向治疗提供了基础框架,对减少乳制品行业损失和改善动物福利具有重要意义。有必要进行进一步的体外和体内研究,将这些见解转化为实际治疗方法。
