Appropriate interpretation of environmental signals facilitates niche specificity in pathogenic bacteria. However, the responses of niche-specific pathogens to common host signals are poorly understood.d-Serine (d-ser) is a toxic metabolite present in highly variable concentrations at different colonization sites within the human host that we previously found is capable of inducing changes in gene expression. In this study, we made the striking observation that the global transcriptional response of threeEscherichia colipathotypes – enterohaemorrhagicE. coli(EHEC), uropathogenicE. coli(UPEC) and neonatal meningitis-associatedE. coli(NMEC) – tod-ser was highly distinct. In fact, we identified no single differentially expressed gene common to all three strains. We observed the induction of ribosome-associated genes in extraintestinal pathogens UPEC and NMEC only, and the induction of purine metabolism genes in gut-restricted EHEC, and UPEC indicating distinct transcriptional responses to a common signal. UPEC and NMEC encodedsdCXA– a genetic locus required for detoxification and hence normal growth in the presence ofd-ser. Specific transcriptional responses were induced in strains accumulatingd-ser (WT EHEC and UPEC/NMEC mutants lacking thed-ser-responsive transcriptional activator DsdC), corroborating the notion thatd-ser is an unfavourable metabolite if not metabolized. Importantly, many of the UPEC-associated transcriptome alterations correlate with published data on the urinary transcriptome, supporting the hypothesis thatd-ser sensing forms a key part of urinary niche adaptation in this pathotype. Collectively, our results demonstrate distinct pleiotropic responses to a common metabolite in diverseE. colipathotypes, with important implications for niche selectivity.
