• W4384485976 abstract "Burkholderia pseudomallei is the causative agent of melioidosis, which is endemic primarily in Southeast Asia and northern Australia but is increasingly being seen in other tropical and subtropical regions of the world. Melioidosis is associated with high morbidity and mortality rates, which is mediated by the wide range of virulence factors encoded by B. pseudomallei. These virulence determinants include surface polysaccharides such as lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and capsular polysaccharides (CPS). Here, we investigated a predicted arabinose-5-phosphate isomerase (API) similar to KdsD in B. pseudomallei strain K96243. KdsD is required for the production of the highly conserved 3-deoxy-d-manno-octulosonic acid (Kdo), a key sugar in the core region of LPS. Recombinant KdsD was expressed and purified, and API activity was determined. Although a putative API paralogue (KpsF) is also predicted to be encoded, the deletion of kdsD resulted in growth defects, loss of motility, reduced survival in RAW 264.7 murine macrophages, and attenuation in a BALB/c mouse model of melioidosis. Suppressor mutations were observed during a phenotypic screen for motility, revealing single nucleotide polymorphisms or indels located in the poorly understood CPS type IV cluster. Crucially, suppressor mutations did not result in reversion of attenuation in vivo. This study demonstrates the importance of KdsD for B. pseudomallei virulence and highlights further the complex nature of the polysaccharides it produces. IMPORTANCE The intrinsic resistance of B. pseudomallei to many antibiotics complicates treatment. This opportunistic pathogen possesses a wide range of virulence factors, resulting in severe and potentially fatal disease. Virulence factors as targets for drug development offer an alternative approach to combat pathogenic bacteria. Prior to initiating early drug discovery approaches, it is important to demonstrate that disruption of the target gene will prevent the development of disease. This study highlights the fact that KdsD is crucial for virulence of B. pseudomallei in an animal model of infection and provides supportive phenotypic characterization that builds a foundation for future therapeutic development." @default.
