Use of antibiotics in livestock and poultry, initially mainly for growth promotion but also to control endemic disease among increasingly larger groups of animals, has also revolutionized animal production agriculture [2]. This started with the discovery and development of sulphonamides and penicillin during the first half of the twentieth century, followed by the so called Golden Era of drug discovery, which Chapter 1 Chapter accelerated the discovery of many novel classes of antibiotics [3] (Figure 1). However, extensive (over- and mis-) use of antibacterial drugs over the past decades have favoured the selection and spread of resistant bacteria [4]. The high level of antibiotics utilized in the livestock and poultry industry is considered to have contributed to the global spread of antibiotic resistance [5]. As a consequence, there are plans to further reduce antibiotic use in livestock across Europe [6]. Nevertheless, resistance of clinically relevant bacteria to commonly used antibiotics combined with the current void in discovery and market approval of successful novel antibacterial drugs remains a global health emergency [7, 8]. The rising prevalence of antibiotic resistance in bacteria is a leading healthcare priority worldwide, with drug resistant pathogens causing increased morbidity, mortality and overall healthcare costs in both human and veterinary medicine [8, 9]. Annually, 25.000 Europeans and 23.000 Americans are estimated to die as a direct result of infections with multidrug- resistant bacteria [8, 10]. Although it is difficult to estimate, bacterial antimicrobial resistance has been reported to cost the European Union economy approximately €1.5 billion and the US health-care system between $21 billion to $34 billion per year [7, 11]. Yet, it is not so much the current impact of antibiotic resistance but the potential future implications that are worrisome. Antibiotic resistance is expected to lead to increased morbidity and mortality, with an associated exorbitant increase in health-care costs and indirect economic impacts worldwide [7, 9, 12]. Compounds that were found in the Golden Era of antibiotic discovery (1940s to 1960s) or derivatives of these compounds encompass practically all currently used antibiotics and despite the enormous high-tech discovery efforts which started in the 1990s only two new classes of antimicrobials have been approved in the last 20 years [3, 13] (Figure 1). History has shown that the introduction of every new antibiotic was rapidly followed by the emergence of resistance in the target microorganism, and the required steady flow of novel classes of antibiotics and derivatives has been outpaced by the emergence and spread of antibiotic resistance [13, 14]. Although there are hundreds of essential proteins in bacteria, the number of targets of currently used antibiotics is relatively small [13]. The most successful antibiotics hit only three targets or pathways: the ribosome (affecting protein synthesis), DNA gyrase or DNA topoisomerase (affecting DNA synthesis), or cell-wall synthesis. Other antibiotics target RNA synthesis, folic acid metabolism pathways and the bacterial cell membrane (Figure 2). 11 CHAPTER 1 Trimethoprim Streptogramins Quinolones Lincosamides Chloramphenicol Tetracyclines Macrolides Glycopeptides Aminoglycosides Beta-lactams Lipopeptides Sulfonamides Oxazolidinones 1930s 1940s 1950s 1960s 1970s 1980s 1990s 2000s 2010s The Golden Era Emperical whole-cell antibacterial screens Target-based HTS SBDD: FBDD + VHTS Figure 1. History of antimicrobial drug discovery, showing the “Golden Era” of antimicrobial drug discovery from ~1945 – 1976. Market approval of different classes of antibiotics per decade are indicated above the timeline. The principal strategies employed in antimicrobial drug discovery are displayed below the timeline (HTS: High- Throughput Screening, SBDD: Structure-Based Drug Discovery, FBDD: Fraction-Based Drug Discovery, VHTS: Virtual High-Throughput Screening). Figure is adapted from [15] and [14]. Antibiotic resistance is a normal ecological phenomenon which is widespread in the environment. Over billions of years bacteria have evolved to resist the action of naturally occurring antibacterial compounds [16]. It has been shown that antibiotic resistance in bacteria already existed before the modern selective pressure caused by human use of antibiotics was introduced [17, 18]. It is this dramatic increase of selective pressure caused by the extensive use of antibiotics over the last 70 years that has accelerated the evolution and spread of bacteria that are resistant to antibiotics. Although antibiotic resistance is a complex phenomenon, its mechanisms can be classified in three categories, namely intrinsic, acquired and adaptive resistance. Some common antibiotic targets and mechanisms associated antibiotic resistance are shown in Figure 2. 12 GENERAL INTRODUCTION Antibiotic Targets Antibiotic Resistance Penicillins Cephalosporins Glycopeptides Carpabenems decreased penetration Monobactams cell wall synthesis Quinolones increased efflux DNA synthesis Rifampicin target modification RNA synthesis P enzymatic modification Chapter 1 Chapter Lipopeptides cell membrane or inactivation target overproduction folic acid metabolism Sulphonamides A + B AB Trimethoprim protein synthesis bypass pathways target Oxazolidinones Macrolides antibiotic Chloramphenicol Clindamycin phosphate Aminoglycosides P Tetracyclines Figure 2. Antibiotic targets and mechanisms of resistance. Figure adapted from Wright (2010)[19] and Lewis (2013) [13]. Alternatives to conventional antibiotics The alarming problem of antibiotic resistance has prompted renewed interests in alternative strategies to combat pathogenic microbes, such as the use of bacteriophages [20], synthetic antimicrobial peptides and peptoids [21-24], and naturally occurring bacteriocins [25- 27]. Renewed optimism about natural product discovery and the overwhelming number of uncharacterized biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs) has also accelerated efforts to find novel antimicrobial secondary metabolites from microbes [28-30]. Vaccination, often being relatively cheap and highly effective, is another historically successful strategy against bacteria causing infectious disease. Although new tools and vaccination strategies are continuously being developed, still a myriad of challenges remain, such as persistent, highly variable and/ or novel pathogens, complex (e.g. polymicrobial) infections, and target populations that are difficult to reach [31]. The work in this thesis will focus on antimicrobial peptides as an alternative strategy to reduce the risk of infections by pathogenic bacteria. Antimicrobial peptides As mentioned above, the use of antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) is one of the alternatives to conventional antibiotics

Ears are thought to be synthesized as pre-forms and stored in the granules as mature forms. However, the N-terminal amino acid of mature Ear-1 and Ear-2 is still controversial. Therefore, we prepared two recombinant mature forms of Ear-1 and Ear-2 in which the N-terminal amino acids are Ser24 (S) [Ear-1 (S) and Ear-2 (S)] and Gln26 (Q) [Ear-1 (Q) and Ear-2 (Q)], and analyzed their biological activities by comparing them with those of pre-form Ear-1 and pre-form Ear-2. The four mature Ears showed RNase A activity as well as bovine pancreatic RNase A activity, but pre-Ear-1 and pre-Ear-2 showed no RNase A activity. Mature Ear-1 (Q) and mature Ear-2 (Q) showed more potent RNase A activity than mature Ear-1 (S) and mature Ear-2 (S), respectively.

  • A Bioinformatic Study of Antimicrobial Peptides Identified in The
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN A bioinformatic study of antimicrobial peptides identifed in the Black Soldier Fly (BSF) Hermetia illucens (Diptera: Stratiomyidae) Antonio Moretta1, Rosanna Salvia1, Carmen Scieuzo1, Angela Di Somma2, Heiko Vogel3, Pietro Pucci4, Alessandro Sgambato5,6, Michael Wolf7 & Patrizia Falabella1* Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) play a key role in the innate immunity, the frst line of defense against bacteria, fungi, and viruses. AMPs are small molecules, ranging from 10 to 100 amino acid residues produced by all living organisms. Because of their wide biodiversity, insects are among the richest and most innovative sources for AMPs. In particular, the insect Hermetia illucens (Diptera: Stratiomyidae) shows an extraordinary ability to live in hostile environments, as it feeds on decaying substrates, which are rich in microbial colonies, and is one of the most promising sources for AMPs. The larvae and the combined adult male and female H. illucens transcriptomes were examined, and all the sequences, putatively encoding AMPs, were analysed with diferent machine learning-algorithms, such as the Support Vector Machine, the Discriminant Analysis, the Artifcial Neural Network, and the Random Forest available on the CAMP database, in order to predict their antimicrobial activity. Moreover, the iACP tool, the AVPpred, and the Antifp servers were used to predict the anticancer, the antiviral, and the antifungal activities, respectively. The related physicochemical properties were evaluated with the Antimicrobial Peptide Database Calculator and Predictor. These analyses allowed to identify 57 putatively active peptides suitable for subsequent experimental validation studies. With over one million described species, insects represent the most diverse as well as the largest class of organ- isms in the world, due to their ability to adapt to recurrent changes and to their resistance against a wide spectrum of pathogens1.

  • Lysozyme Enhances the Bactericidal Effect of BP100 Peptide Against Erwinia Amylovora, the Causal Agent of Fire Blight of Rosaceo
    Cabrefiga and Montesinos BMC Microbiology (2017) 17:39 DOI 10.1186/s12866-017-0957-y RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Lysozyme enhances the bactericidal effect of BP100 peptide against Erwinia amylovora, the causal agent of fire blight of rosaceous plants Jordi Cabrefiga and Emilio Montesinos* Abstract Background: Fire blight is an important disease affecting rosaceous plants. The causal agent is the bacteria Erwinia amylovora which is poorly controlled with the use of conventional bactericides and biopesticides. Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) have been proposed as a new compounds suitable for plant disease control. BP100, a synthetic linear undecapeptide (KKLFKKILKYL-NH2), has been reported to be effective against E. amylovora infections. Moreover, BP100 showed bacteriolytic activity, moderate susceptibility to protease degradation and low toxicity. However, the peptide concentration required for an effective control of infections in planta is too high due to some inactivation by tissue components. This is a limitation beause of the high cost of synthesis of this compound. We expected that the combination of BP100 with lysozyme may produce a synergistic effect, enhancing its activity and reducing the effective concentration needed for fire blight control. Results: The combination of a synhetic multifunctional undecapeptide (BP100) with lysozyme produces a synergistic effect. We showed a significant increase of the antimicrobial activity against E. amylovora that was associated to the increase of cell membrane damage and to the reduction of cell metabolism. Combination of BP100 with lysozyme reduced the time required to achieve cell death and the minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC), and increased the activity of BP100 in the presence of leaf extracts even when the peptide was applied at low doses.
