项目摘要

Abstract Staphylococcus aureus is a leading cause of human morbidity and mortality, causing infection of the skin and soft tissues, post-surgical wounds, and lung infection among influenza and cystic fibrosis patients. Widespread multi-drug resistance has made eradication of S. aureus increasingly challenging, necessitating a deeper understanding of the physiology and pathogenesis associated with these organisms. A key aspect of bacterial survival and adaptation to altered environmental conditions is the ability to rapidly alter cellular behavior through second messenger signal transduction. C-di-AMP has recently emerged as a key regulator of bacterial physiology, pathogenesis, and immune activation. In the context of S. aureus, we believe that c- di-AMP produced by S. aureus has three important roles; (i) as a signaling molecule that mediates S. aureus metabolism and antibiotic resistance, (ii) as a bacterial PAMP that promotes pathological inflammation and host susceptibility to bacterial infection, and (iii) as a mediator of inter-bacterial signaling that alters the outcome of co-infections. Findings from these studies may have significant impacts on the course of antibiotic therapy during S. aureus infection and may uncover a novel target to eradicate recalcitrant S. aureus and the inflammation itpromotes.

抽象的金黄色葡萄球菌是人类发病和死亡的主要原因，导致感染流感和囊肿中的皮肤和软组织、手术后伤口以及肺部感染纤维化患者。广泛的多重耐药性已使金黄色葡萄球菌被根除越来越具有挑战性，需要更深入地了解生理学和与这些生物相关的发病机制。细菌生存和适应的一个关键方面改变环境条件的能力是通过第二次快速改变细胞行为的能力信使信号转导。 C-di-AMP 最近已成为细菌的关键调节剂生理学、发病机制和免疫激活。在金黄色葡萄球菌的背景下，我们相信 c- 金黄色葡萄球菌产生的di-AMP具有三个重要作用； (i) 作为介导的信号分子金黄色葡萄球菌代谢和抗生素耐药性，(ii) 作为细菌 PAMP，促进病理性炎症和宿主对细菌感染的易感性，以及（iii）作为介质改变共同感染结果的细菌间信号传导。这些研究的结果可能对金黄色葡萄球菌感染期间的抗生素治疗过程有显着影响，并且可能发现一个新的目标来根除顽固的金黄色葡萄球菌及其促进的炎症。
