项目摘要

Abstract: Clostridioides difficile is the most prevalent cause of hospital associated infections (HAIs). As an obligately anaerobic pathogen, C. difficile can consume diverse carbon sources to support gut colonization and infection. In particular, glycolytic and Stickland amino acid fermentation pathways have been shown to support rapid growth, a finding that also occurs after antibiotic treatment elevates availability of these nutrient sources by removing competitive commensal species. However, the metabolic pathways of obligately anaerobic bacteria remain ill-defined, limiting capacity to identify preventive and therapeutic interventions that target C. difficile’s core physiology. To address these limitations, we will employ carbon-13 (13C) NMR of C. difficile’s dynamic metabolism to inform a genome-scale metabolic model and clearly define metabolic integration points among energy-generating glycolytic and amino acid fermentation pathways. Findings will be evaluated in targeted genetic mutants and with combinations of fermentable carbon sources to evaluate their impact on pathogen growth and virulence.

摘要：艰难梭菌是医院相关感染的最常见原因（HAI）作为一种专性厌氧病原体，艰难梭菌可以消耗多种碳源支持肠道定植和感染，特别是糖酵解和斯蒂克兰氨基酸。发酵途径已被证明可以支持快速生长，这一发现也发生在抗生素治疗通过消除竞争性来提高这些营养源的可用性然而，专性厌氧细菌的代谢途径仍然存在。定义不明确，限制了识别针对 C 的预防和治疗干预措施的能力。为了解决这些限制，我们将采用碳 13 (13C) NMR 来分析艰难梭菌的核心生理学。艰难梭菌的动态代谢为基因组规模的代谢模型提供信息并明确定义产生能量的糖酵解和氨基酸发酵之间的代谢整合点研究结果将在目标基因突变体和组合中进行评估。能够评估其发酵对病原体生长和毒力的影响的碳源。
