英文摘要 | During infection, pathogenic microbes adapt to the nutritional milieu of the host through metabolic reprogramming and nutrient scavenging. For the bacterial pathogen Staphylococcus aureus, virulence in diverse infection sites is driven by the ability to scavenge myriad host nutrients, including lipoic acid, a cofactor required for the function of several critical metabolic enzyme complexes. S. aureus shuttles lipoic acid between these enzyme complexes via the amidotransferase, LipL. Here, we find that acquisition of lipoic acid, or its attachment via LipL to enzyme complexes required for the generation of acetyl-CoA and branched-chain fatty acids, is essential for bacteremia, yet dispensable for skin infection in mice. A lipL mutant is auxotrophic for carboxylic acid precursors required for synthesis of branched-chain fatty acids, an essential component of staphylococcal membrane lipids and the agent of membrane fluidity. However, the skin is devoid of branched-chain fatty acids. We showed that S. aureus instead scavenges host-derived unsaturated fatty acids from the skin using the secreted lipase, Geh, and the unsaturated fatty acid–binding protein, FakB2. Moreover, murine infections demonstrated the relevance of host lipid assimilation to staphylococcal survival. Altogether, these studies provide insight into an adaptive trait that bypasses de novo lipid synthesis to facilitate S. aureus persistence during superficial infection. The findings also reinforce the inherent challenges associated with targeting bacterial lipogenesis as an antibacterial strategy and support simultaneous inhibition of host fatty acid salvage during treatment. © 2021 National Academy of Sciences.
