In the present study, we used a strategy of functional ST:STUDY_SUMMARY metabolomics integrated with bacterial genetics in attempt to decipher the ST:STUDY_SUMMARY mechanism of virulence formation in Escherichia coli (E. coli) from the ST:STUDY_SUMMARY viewpoint of small molecule metabolism. We identified the virulence-associated ST:STUDY_SUMMARY metabolome via analysis of the primary metabolome of the pathogenic UTI89 strain ST:STUDY_SUMMARY and the non-pathogenic MG1655 strain. Then, the iron-mediated virulence ST:STUDY_SUMMARY associated metabolome was identified by an iron fishing strategy. Also, the ST:STUDY_SUMMARY mechanism of siderophores in regulating pathogenicity in different environments ST:STUDY_SUMMARY was explored by investigating the effect of iron on siderophore biosynthesis. ST:STUDY_SUMMARY Finally, by knocking out genes related to siderophore biosynthesis, siderophore ST:STUDY_SUMMARY transport and iron utilization, siderophores dependent iron-regulating virulence ST:STUDY_SUMMARY associated metabolome, including 18 functional metabolites, was identified and ST:STUDY_SUMMARY verified to be involved in the regulation of bacterial virulence. Based on this ST:STUDY_SUMMARY we found that these functional metabolites regulated the virulence of E. coli by ST:STUDY_SUMMARY targeting multiple metabolic pathways in an iron-siderophores dependent manner. ST:STUDY_SUMMARY Moreover, a quantitative proteomics approach was implemented to further ST:STUDY_SUMMARY elucidate the mechanism of functional metabolites and functional proteins in ST:STUDY_SUMMARY modulating bacterial virulence. And our findings demonstrated that functional ST:STUDY_SUMMARY proteins regulated the virulence of E. coli by mediating iron binding, ST:STUDY_SUMMARY iron-siderophore transmembrane transport, and the biosynthesis and expression of ST:STUDY_SUMMARY functional metabolites. Interestingly, we found that functional metabolites ST:STUDY_SUMMARY enhance the virulence of E. coli by specifically modulating the key metabolic ST:STUDY_SUMMARY pathways involved in purine metabolism, proline metabolism, arginine metabolism ST:STUDY_SUMMARY and pyrimidine metabolism. Taken together, our study identified for the first ST:STUDY_SUMMARY time 18 functional metabolites regulating the of E. coli virulence, greatly ST:STUDY_SUMMARY enriching our understanding of the mechanism of functional metabolites that ST:STUDY_SUMMARY regulate the E. coli virulence by targeting primary metabolism, which will ST:STUDY_SUMMARY largely contribute to the development of new strategies to target ST:STUDY_SUMMARY virulence-based diagnosis and therapy of infections caused by different ST:STUDY_SUMMARY pathogens.
