Sulfated vizantin suppresses mucin layer penetration dependent on the flagella motility of Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1.

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic pathogen that causes severe infections, such as pneumonia and bacteremia. Several studies demonstrated that flagellar motility is an important virulence factor for P. aeruginosa infection. In this study, we determined whether sulfated vizantin affects P. ae...

description Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic pathogen that causes severe infections, such as pneumonia and bacteremia. Several studies demonstrated that flagellar motility is an important virulence factor for P. aeruginosa infection. In this study, we determined whether sulfated vizantin affects P. aeruginosa flagellar motility in the absence of direct antimicrobial activity. We found that 100 μM sulfated vizantin suppressed P. aeruginosa PAO1 from penetrating through an artificial mucin layer by affecting flagellar motility, although it did not influence growth nor bacterial protease activity. To further clarify the mechanism in which sulfated vizantin suppresses the flagellar motility of P. aeruginosa PAO1, we examined the effects of sulfated vizantin on the composition of the flagellar filament and mRNA expression of several flagella-related genes, finding that sulfated vizantin did not influence the composition of the flagellar complex (fliC, motA, and motB) in P. aeruginosa PAO1, but significantly decreased mRNA expression of the chemotaxis-related genes cheR1, cheW, and cheZ. These results indicated that sulfated vizantin is an effective inhibitor of flagellar motility in P. aeruginosa.
