TLDR
Improved biological understanding was then used to generate 47 rules that can predict fluoroquinolone susceptibility in K. pneumoniae clinical isolates, and the use of liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry to measure the abundance of proteins in extracts of cultured bacteria revealed which sequence variants seen in the whole-genome sequence data were functionally important in the context of fluoroquolones susceptibility.
Abstract
Fluoroquinolone resistance in Gram-negative bacteria is multifactorial, involving target site mutations, reductions in fluoroquinolone entry due to reduced porin production, increased fluoroquinolone efflux, enzymes that modify fluoroquinolones, and Qnr, a DNA mimic that protects the drug target from fluoroquinolone binding. Here we report a comprehensive analysis, using transformation and in vitro mutant selection, of the relative importance of each of these mechanisms for fluoroquinolone nonsusceptibility using Klebsiella pneumoniae as a model system. Our improved biological understanding was then used to generate 47 rules that can predict fluoroquinolone susceptibility in K. pneumoniae clinical isolates. Key to the success of this predictive process was the use of liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry to measure the abundance of proteins in extracts of cultured bacteria, identifying which sequence variants seen in the whole-genome sequence data were functionally important in the context of fluoroquinolone susceptibility.

Characterization of AmpC-hyperproducing Escherichia coli from humans and dairy farms collected in parallel in the same geographical region

TL;DR: Clear evidence was found for recent farm-to-farm transmission of AmpC-hyperproducing E. coli and of adaptive mutations to expand resistance, and efforts to reduce third-generation cephalosporin resistance on dairy farms must address the high prevalence of ampC hyperproducers.

Prediction of cephalosporin and carbapenem susceptibility in multi-drug resistant Gram-negative bacteria using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry

TL;DR: A robust and tractable methodology that allows measurement of the abundance of key proteins responsible for antibacterial drug resistance within samples of 1 µg of total bacterial protein is reported, allowing correct prediction of β-lactam susceptibility in clinical isolates from four key bacterial species.

Mutation of kvrA Causes OmpK35 and OmpK36 Porin Downregulation and Reduced Meropenem-Vaborbactam Susceptibility in KPC-Producing Klebsiella pneumoniae.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that KvrA loss reduces OMPK35 and OmpK36 porin production, which confers reduced susceptibility to meropenem-vaborbactam in a KPC-3-producing K. pneumoniae isolate.

Impact of OqxR loss of function on the envelope proteome of Klebsiella pneumoniae and susceptibility to antimicrobials

TL;DR: The relative effects of OqxR and RamR loss-of-function mutations on envelope protein production, envelope permeability and antimicrobial susceptibility are defined and only RamR mutants have significantly reduced β- lactamase-mediated β-lactam susceptibility and therefore represent a greater clinical threat.

Trimmomatic: a flexible trimmer for Illumina sequence data

TL;DR: Timmomatic is developed as a more flexible and efficient preprocessing tool, which could correctly handle paired-end data and is shown to produce output that is at least competitive with, and in many cases superior to, that produced by other tools, in all scenarios tested.

progressiveMauve: Multiple Genome Alignment with Gene Gain, Loss and Rearrangement

TL;DR: A new method to align two or more genomes that have undergone rearrangements due to recombination and substantial amounts of segmental gain and loss is described, demonstrating high accuracy in situations where genomes have undergone biologically feasible amounts of genome rearrangement, segmental loss and loss.
