dc.description.abstract | Infections by the pathogenic gut bacterium
Clostridioides difficile cause severe diarrhoeas up to a
toxic megacolon and are currently among the major
causes of lethal bacterial infections. Successful bacte rial propagation in the gut is strongly associated with
the adaptation to changing nutrition-caused environ mental conditions; e.g. environmental salt stresses. Concentrations of 350 mM NaCl, the prevailing salinity
in the colon, led to significantly reduced growth of C.
difficile. Metabolomics of salt-stressed bacteria revealed
a major reduction of the central energy generation path ways, including the Stickland-fermentation reactions. No
obvious synthesis of compatible solutes was observed
up to 24 h of growth. The ensuing limited tolerance to
high salinity and absence of compatible solute synthe sis might result from an evolutionary adaptation to the
exclusive life of C. difficile in the mammalian gut. Addi tion of the compatible solutes carnitine, glycine-betaine,
γ-butyrobetaine, crotonobetaine, homobetaine, proline betaine and dimethylsulfoniopropionate restored growth
(choline and proline failed) under conditions of high
salinity. A bioinformatically identified OpuF-type ABC transporter imported most of the used compatible sol utes. A long-term adaptation after 48 h included a shift
of the Stickland fermentation-based energy metabolism
from the utilization to the accumulation of L-proline and
resulted in restored growth. Surprisingly, salt stress
resulted in the formation of coccoid C. difficile cells
instead of the typical rod-shaped cells, a process
reverted by the addition of several compatible solutes.
Hence, compatible solute import via OpuF is the major
immediate adaptation strategy of C. difficile to high
salinity-incurred cellular stress. | es |
