| Abstract: |
Current chemotherapy against Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), an important human pathogen, requires a multidrug regimen lasting several months. While efforts have been made to optimize therapy by exploiting drug-drug synergies, testing new drug combinations in relevant host environments remains arduous. In particular, host environments profoundly affect the bacterial metabolic state and drug efficacy, limiting the accuracy of predictions based on in vitro assays alone. In this study, we utilized conditional Mtb knockdown mutants of essential genes as an experimentally tractable surrogate for drug treatment and probe the relationship between Mtb carbon metabolism and chemical-genetic interactions (CGIs). We examined the antitubercular drugs isoniazid, rifampicin, and moxifloxacin and found that CGIs are differentially responsive to the metabolic state, defining both environment-independent and -dependent interactions. Specifically, growth on the in vivo-relevant carbon source, cholesterol, reduced rifampicin efficacy by altering mycobacterial cell surface lipid composition. We report that a variety of perturbations in cell wall synthesis pathways restore rifampicin efficacy during growth on cholesterol, and that both environment-independent and cholesteroldependent in vitro CGIs could be leveraged to enhance bacterial clearance in the mouse infection model. Our findings present an atlas of chemical-genetic-environmental interactions that can be used to optimize drug-drug interactions, as well as provide a framework for understanding in vitro correlates of in vivo efficacy.
