ABSTRACT
Multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria are widespread in the environment and pose a serious threat to public health. It has been shown that bacteriocins have a great potential in controlling MDR pathogens, including Staphylococcus aureus. A previously reported Lactobacillus salivarius bacteriocin XJS01 exhibited good antibacterial activity against MDR S. aureus 26121606BL1486 (henceforth referred to as S. aureus_26), but its molecular mechanism remains unknown. Herein, we investigated the antibacterial mechanism of XJS01 on S. aureus_26 using an approach combining transcriptomics and metabolomics. The results showed that XJS01 induced significant changes at both transcriptional and metabolic levels in S. aureus_26. In total, 231 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and 206 differentially abundance metabolites (DAMs) were identified in S. aureus_26 treated with 1 × MIC (minimum inhibition concentration) XJS01 compared with untreated (XJS01-free) cells (control). Functional analysis revealed that these DEGs and DAMs, alone with the related pathways and biological processes, were typically involved in stress response, being primarily related to metal uptake, cell virulence, self-help mechanism, amino acid and energy metabolism, bacterial stress response (e.g., two-component system), and membrane transport (e.g., phosphotransferase system). Overall, this study uncovered the multi-target effects of bacteriocins against MDR S. aureus at the genome-wide transcriptional and metabolic levels. These findings might be useful in the development of bacteriocins for the control of MDR S. aureus and other drug-resistant bacteria.
