BACKGROUND Acinetobacter baumannii outbreaks have been associated with pandemic International Clones (ICs), but the virulence factors involved with their pathogenicity are sparsely understood. Pigment production has been linked with bacterial pathogenicity, however, this phenotype is rarely observed in A. baumannii. OBJECTIVES This study aimed to characterise the reddish-brown pigment produced by A. baumannii strains, and to determine its biosynthetic pathway by genomic approaches. METHODS Pigment characterisation and antimicrobial susceptibility were conducted by phenotypic tests. The clonal relationship was obtained by pulsed field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) and multi-locus sequence typing (MLST). The genome of an A. baumannii was obtained for characterisation of genes involved with pigment production. FINDINGS The pyomelanin was the pigment produced by A. baumannii. Strains were extensively drug resistant and belonged to the IC-5/ST79. The pyomelanin biosynthetic pathway was determined and presented a particular architecture concerning the peripheral (tyrB, phhB and hpd) and central (hmgB, hmgC and hmgR) metabolic pathway genes. The identification of a distant HmgA homologue, probably without dioxygenase activity, could explain pyomelanin production. Virulence determinants involved with adherence (csuA/BABCDE and a T5bSS-carrying genomic island), and iron uptake (basABCDEFGHIJ, bauABCDEF and barAB) were characterised. MAIN CONCLUSION There is a biosynthetic pathway compatible with the pyomelanin production observed in persistent A. baumannii IC-5 strains.

流行性鲍曼不动杆菌 IC-5 色素生产菌株中的焦黑素生物合成途径

背景鲍曼不动杆菌暴发与大流行性国际克隆(ICs)有关,但对其致病性的毒力因素知之甚少。色素产生与细菌致病性有关,然而,这种表型在鲍曼不动杆菌中很少观察到。目的 本研究旨在表征鲍曼不动杆菌菌株产生的红棕色色素,并通过基因组方法确定其生物合成途径。方法 颜料表征和抗菌药物敏感性通过表型测试进行。通过脉冲场凝胶电泳(PFGE)和多位点序列分型(MLST)获得克隆关系。获得了鲍曼不动杆菌的基因组,用于表征与色素产生有关的基因。发现 pyomelanin 是由 A. baumannii 产生的色素。菌株具有广泛耐药性,属于IC-5/ST79。确定了pyomelanin 生物合成途径,并呈现了与外周(tyrB、phhB 和hpd)和中枢(hmgB、hmgC 和hmgR)代谢途径基因有关的特定结构。可能没有双加氧酶活性的远距离 HmgA 同源物的鉴定可以解释脓黑素的产生。与粘附(csuA/BABCDE 和携带 T5bSS 的基因组岛)和铁摄取(basABCDEFGHIJ、bauABCDEF 和 barAB)有关的毒力决定因素进行了表征。主要结论 存在与在持久性鲍曼不动杆菌 IC-5 菌株中观察到的脓黑素产生相容的生物合成途径。菌株具有广泛耐药性,属于IC-5/ST79。确定了pyomelanin 生物合成途径,并呈现了与外周(tyrB、phhB 和hpd)和中枢(hmgB、hmgC 和hmgR)代谢途径基因有关的特定结构。可能没有双加氧酶活性的远距离 HmgA 同源物的鉴定可以解释脓黑素的产生。与粘附(csuA/BABCDE 和携带 T5bSS 的基因组岛)和铁摄取(basABCDEFGHIJ、bauABCDEF 和 barAB)有关的毒力决定因素进行了表征。主要结论 存在与在持久性鲍曼不动杆菌 IC-5 菌株中观察到的脓黑素产生相容的生物合成途径。菌株具有广泛耐药性,属于IC-5/ST79。确定了pyomelanin 生物合成途径,并呈现了与外周(tyrB、phhB 和hpd)和中枢(hmgB、hmgC 和hmgR)代谢途径基因有关的特定结构。可能没有双加氧酶活性的远距离 HmgA 同源物的鉴定可以解释脓黑素的产生。与粘附(csuA/BABCDE 和携带 T5bSS 的基因组岛)和铁摄取(basABCDEFGHIJ、bauABCDEF 和 barAB)有关的毒力决定因素进行了表征。主要结论 存在与在持久性鲍曼不动杆菌 IC-5 菌株中观察到的脓黑素产生相容的生物合成途径。phhB 和 hpd)和中枢(hmgB、hmgC 和 hmgR)代谢途径基因。可能没有双加氧酶活性的远距离 HmgA 同源物的鉴定可以解释脓黑素的产生。与粘附(csuA/BABCDE 和携带 T5bSS 的基因组岛)和铁摄取(basABCDEFGHIJ、bauABCDEF 和 barAB)有关的毒力决定因素进行了表征。主要结论 存在与在持久性鲍曼不动杆菌 IC-5 菌株中观察到的脓黑素产生相容的生物合成途径。phhB 和 hpd)和中枢(hmgB、hmgC 和 hmgR)代谢途径基因。可能没有双加氧酶活性的远距离 HmgA 同源物的鉴定可以解释脓黑素的产生。与粘附(csuA/BABCDE 和携带 T5bSS 的基因组岛)和铁摄取(basABCDEFGHIJ、bauABCDEF 和 barAB)有关的毒力决定因素进行了表征。主要结论 存在与在持久性鲍曼不动杆菌 IC-5 菌株中观察到的脓黑素产生相容的生物合成途径。
