ABSTRACT
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a leading cause of infections in immunocompromised individuals and in healthcare settings. This study aims to understand the relationships between phenotypic diversity and the functional metabolic landscape of P. aeruginosa clinical isolates. To better understand the metabolic repertoire of P. aeruginosa in infection, we deeply profiled a representative set from a library of 971 clinical P. aeruginosa isolates with corresponding patient metadata and bacterial phenotypes. The genotypic clustering based on whole-genome sequencing of the isolates, multilocus sequence types, and the phenotypic clustering generated from a multi-parametric analysis were compared to each other to assess the genotype-phenotype correlation. Genome-scale metabolic network reconstructions were developed for each isolate through amendments to an existing PA14 network reconstruction. These network reconstructions show diverse metabolic functionalities and enhance the collective P. aeruginosa pangenome metabolic repertoire. Characterizing this rich set of clinical P. aeruginosa isolates allows for a deeper understanding of the genotypic and metabolic diversity of the pathogen in a clinical setting and lays a foundation for further investigation of the metabolic landscape of this pathogen and host-associated metabolic differences during infection.
