Genetic Basis for In Vivo Daptomycin Resistance in Enterococci
Open accessAbstract
BACKGROUND: Daptomycin is a lipopeptide with bactericidal activity that acts on the cell membrane of enterococci and is often used off-label to treat patients infected with vancomycin-resistant enterococci. However, the emergence of resistance to daptomycin during therapy threatens its usefulness. METHODS: We performed whole-genome sequencing and characterization of the cell envelope of a clinical pair of vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecalis isolates from the blood of a patient with fatal bacteremia; one isolate (S613) was from blood drawn before treatment and the other isolate (R712) was from blood drawn after treatment with daptomycin. The minimal inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of these two isolates were 1 and 12 μg per milliliter, respectively. Gene replacements were made to exchange the alleles found in isolate S613 with those in isolate R712. RESULTS: Isolate R712 had in-frame deletions in three genes. Two genes encoded putative enzymes involved in phospholipid metabolism, GdpD (which denotes glycerophosphoryl diester phosphodiesterase) and Cls (which denotes cardiolipin synthetase), and one gene encoded a putative membrane protein, LiaF (which denotes lipid II cycle-interfering antibiotics protein but whose exact function is not known). LiaF is predicted to be a member of a three-component regulatory system (LiaFSR) involved in the stress-sensing response of the cell envelope to antibiotics. Replacement of the liaF allele of isolate S613 with the liaF allele from isolate R712 quadrupled the MIC of daptomycin, whereas replacement of the gdpD allele had no effect on MIC. Replacement of both the liaF and gdpD alleles of isolate S613 with the liaF and gdpD alleles of isolate R712 raised the daptomycin MIC for isolate S613 to 12 μg per milliliter. As compared with isolate S613, isolate R712--the daptomycin-resistant isolate--had changes in the structure of the cell envelope and alterations in membrane permeability and membrane potential. CONCLUSIONS: Mutations in genes encoding LiaF and a GdpD-family protein were necessary and sufficient for the development of resistance to daptomycin during the treatment of vancomycin-resistant enterococci.

In enterococci, whole genome sequencing of a clinical strain-pair of E. faecalis that developed DAP resistance (DAP-R) over the course of therapy revealed that changes in a three-component regulatory system designated LiaFSR are paramount in the development of DAP-R.
“In enterococci, work using whole genome sequencing of a clinical strain-pair of E. faecalis that developed DAP resistance (DAP-R) over the course of therapy, revealed that changes in a three-component regulatory system designated LiaFSR (which orchestrates the cell-envelope stress response in gram-positives) are paramount in the development of DAP-R (88).”

Two enzymes, a glycerol-phosphodiester phosphodiesterase (GdpD) and cardiolipin synthase (Cls), were found to enhance the DAP-R phenotype in the background of liaFSR mutations in E. faecalis.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
