Urbanization?
On September 18 this year the Obama
Administration announced the White House
National Strategy for Combating Antibiotic
Resistant Bacteria (CARB). The strategy
outlines bold steps to slow the public health
threat of antibiotic resistant bacteria,
including efforts to stimulate innovative
research.
Study of Antibiotic Resistance
Two Approaches towards studying
antibiotic resistance:
1. Study of bacterial cell wall biogenesis
using model organism (E. coli and
Caulobacter)
2. Use on metagenomics
It's not in the open we feel comforted but in the
shadows. … We can't feel at home with the
infinite sky above and around us. Space must be
cut off, shaped, defined, for us to inhabit. From
cradle to coffin, it's enclosure that defines us.
—Robert Morgan
Why study bacterial cell shape?
Varma et al. J. Bac. 2004 Priyadarshini et al. J. Bac. 2006

Mechanism Leading to Antibiotic Resistance
Genetic mutations lead to:
 changes in binding
proteins
 ribosomes
 membrane structure
 inactivating enzymes

Caulobacter crescentus: elegant
model system
• Dimorphic
•Asymmetric cell division
•Genome is sequenced and
genetic tools are available
•Easy to obtain synchronized
cell population

Amidase
E. coli has 3 amidases:
AmiA, AmiB and AmiC
Phenotype of amidase mutants
Cell Division
Cell Separation

What is the role of amidase in
Caulobacter cells?
Localization of amidase in Caulobacter
Ami-mCherry
Caulobacter has only one
annotated amidase
Cell envelope and divisome components

Overexpression of amidase in absence of
PBP3 causes lysis

mCherry
Summary
Amidase is essential for viability in Caulobacter
Amidase depletion and overexpression causes
cell division defects and lysis of cells
Amidase overexpression disturbs the delicate
balance between synthesis and hydrolysis of the
septal peptidoglycan
Role of environment in
antibiotic resistance
Ecology of Antibiotics
Bacteria found in soil
contain antibiotic
resistance genes

Spread of antibiotic resistance
Antibiotics are communication
molecules of bacteria
Humans

Metagenomic Approaches to
Combat antibiotic resistance
metagenomic tools to understand the microbial
composition of certain unique environments
identify the presence of antibiotic resistance genes
and pathways
identify pathways and genes responsible for
production of novel antimicrobial compounds
