Role of Bacterial Surface Components in the Pathogenicity of Proteus mirabilis in a Murine Model of Catheter-Associated Urinary Tract Infection
Proteus mirabilis (PM) is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium that causes catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs). The specific roles of bacterial surface components (BSCs) in PM pathogenicity and CAUTIs remain unknown. To address this knowledge gap, we utilized relevant in vitro adh...

description | Proteus mirabilis (PM) is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium that causes catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs). The specific roles of bacterial surface components (BSCs) in PM pathogenicity and CAUTIs remain unknown. To address this knowledge gap, we utilized relevant in vitro adhesion/invasion models and a well-established murine model of CAUTI to assess the ability of wildtype (WT) and seven mutant strains (MSs) of PM with deficiencies in various genes encoding BSCs to undergo the infectious process (including adhesion to catheters) in both model systems. Overall, MSs adhesion to catheters and the different cell types tested was significantly reduced compared to WT, while no invasion of cells was evident at 24 h. In vivo, WT showed a greater number of planktonic (urine) bacteria, bacteria adherent to catheters, and bacteria adherent to/invading bladder tissue when compared to the MSs. Bacterial counts in urine for PMI3191 and waaE mutants were lower than that for WT and other MSs. The complementation of mutated BSC genes resulting in the biggest defects restored the invasion phenotype both in vitro and in vivo. BSCs play a critical role at various steps in the pathogenicity of PM including adhesion to indwelling medical devices and adhesion/invasion of urinary tissue in vivo. |
