RESUMO

Pseudomonas aeruginosa poses a significant threat to immunocompromised individuals and those with cystic fibrosis. Treatment relies on antibiotics, but persistent infections occur due to intrinsic and acquired resistance of P. aeruginosa towards multiple classes of antibiotics. To date, there are no licensed vaccines for this pathogen, prompting the urgent need for novel treatment approaches to combat P. aeruginosa infection and persistence. Here we validated AAV vectored immunoprophylaxis as a strategy to generate long-term plasma and mucosal expression of highly protective monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) targeting the exopolysaccharide Psl (Cam-003) and the PcrV (V2L2MD) component of the type-III secretion system injectosome either as single mAbs or together as a bispecific mAb (MEDI3902) in a mouse model. When administered intramuscularly, AAV-αPcrV, AAV-αPsl, and AAV-MEDI3902 significantly protected mice challenged intranasally with a lethal dose of P. aeruginosa strains PAO1 and PA14 and reduced bacterial burden and dissemination to other organs. While all AAV-mAbs provided protection, AAV-αPcrV and AAV-MEDI3902 provided 100% and 87.5% protection from a lethal challenge with 4.47 × 107 CFU PAO1 and 87.5% and 75% protection from a lethal challenge with 3 × 107 CFU PA14, respectively. Serum concentrations of MEDI3902 were ~10× lower than that of αPcrV, but mice treated with this vector showed a greater reduction in bacterial dissemination to the liver, lung, spleen, and blood compared to other AAV-mAbs. These results support further investigation into the use of AAV vectored immunoprophylaxis to prevent and treat P. aeruginosa infections and other bacterial pathogens of public health concern for which current treatment strategies are limited.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: Comparative genomics and phenotypic assays have shown that antibiotic resistance profiles differ among clinical isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and that genotype-phenotype associations are difficult to establish for resistance phenotypes based on these comparisons alone. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: Here, we used label-free quantitative proteomics to compare two isolates of the Liverpool Epidemic Strain (LES) of P. aeruginosa, LESlike1 and LESB58, and the common laboratory strain P. aeruginosa PAO1 to more accurately predict functional differences between strains. RESULTS: Our results show that the proteomes of the LES isolates are more similar to each other than to PAO1; however, a number of differences were observed in the abundance of proteins involved in quorum sensing, virulence, and antibiotic resistance, including in the comparison of LESlike1 and LESB58. Additionally, the proteomic data revealed a higher abundance of proteins involved in polymyxin and aminoglycoside resistance in LESlike1. Minimum inhibitory concentration assays showed that LESlike1 had up to 128-fold higher resistance to antibiotics from these classes. CONCLUSIONS: These findings provide an example of the ability of proteomic data to complement genotypic and phenotypic studies to understand resistance in clinical isolates. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: P. aeruginosa is a predominant pathogen in chronic lung infections in individuals with cystic fibrosis (CF). LES isolates are capable of transferring between CF patients and have been associated with increased hospital visits and antibiotic treatments.
