Microbiome-mediated fructose depletion restricts murine gut colonization by vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus

Abstract: Multidrug-resistant organisms (MDRO) are a major threat to public health. MDRO infections, including those caused by vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus (VRE), frequently begin by colonization of the intestinal tract, a crucial step that is impaired by the intestinal microbiota. However, the specific members of the microbiota that suppress MDRO colonization and the mechanisms of such protection are largely unknown. Here, using metagenomics and mouse models that mimic the patients’ exposure to antibiotics, we ide… Show more

“…An underrepresentation of carbohydrate utilising genes in the microbiota of participants favoured colonisation, whereas establishment was prevented through competitive exclusion by phylogenetically related resident microbes, suggesting colonisation was determined by niche and resource availability [ 239 ]. Interestingly, these findings align with competitive exclusion of VRE mentioned previously [ 226 ]. These findings suggest WGS could be a tool for predicting engraftment of probiotics based on the carrier state of the subject's microbiota and if a functional niche is vacant.…”

“…One approach is to identify gut commensals that negatively correlate with pathogen growth. Isaac et al treated mice with antibiotics with different spectra of activity and measured the amount of VRE in faecal samples [113]. Spearman correlation analysis was used to identify specific bacterial taxa that negatively correlated with VRE colonization.…”
