Antibiotic activity and siderophores of Pseudomonas cepacia

The ability of 46 strains of Pseudomonas cepacia to inhibit phytopathogenic fungi and the effect of iron on their antifungal activity were studied. The antifungal effect of the bacteria and the antimicrobial activity of their crude yellow and violet pigments showed a 4-5-fold decrease in the presence of Fe(III). The addition of 100 micrograms/ml of FeCl3 to the medium decreased the biosynthesis of violet and yellow pigments; the complex of the yellow pigment with Fe(III) promoted the growth of the P. cepacia producing strain under iron-deficient conditions. The data obtained suggest a participation of some P. cepacia pigments in iron transport. The resistance of the P. cepacia strains to the synthetic chelating agents hydroxyethylenediphosphonic and diethylenediaminepentaacetic acids was demonstrated, which may indicate a high Fe(III)-binding constant of P. cepacia siderophores.

An acquired efflux system is responsible for copper resistance in Xanthomonas strain IG-8 isolated from China

The genus Xanthomonas contains plant pathogens exhibiting innate resistance to a range of antimicrobial agents. In other genera, multidrug resistance is mediated by a synergy between a low-permeability outer membrane and expression of a number of multidrug efflux systems. This report describes the isolation of a novel gene cluster xmeRSA from Xanthomonas strain IG-8 that mediates copper chloride resistance. Subsequent analysis of these genes showed that they were responsible for the high level of multiple resistance in this strain and were homologues of the sme system of Stenotrophomonas maltophilia. Knock-out mutants of this gene cluster indicate that these genes are required for the copper resistance phenotype of strain IG-8. Expression analysis using lacZ fusions indicates that the genes are regulated by copper and other antimicrobials. Bioinformatic analysis suggests that these genes were acquired by horizontal gene transfer.

Enhancement of antibiotic susceptibility of Stenotrophomonas maltophilia using a polyclonal antibody developed against an ABC multidrug efflux pump

Stenotrophomonas maltophilia is an emerging nosocomial pathogen capable of causing healthcare-associated infections, including pneumonia and bacteremia. Intrinsic resistance in S. maltophilia is exhibited towards many broad-spectrum antibiotics, and treatment recommendations are controversial. One of the major causes of antimicrobial resistance is attributed to a robust array of efflux pumps that extrude drug compounds from the cell. Using checkerboard and growth kinetic assays, we evaluated the in vitro activity of a polyclonal antibody raised against an ATP-binding cassette efflux protein in S. maltophilia. Six clinical strains of S. maltophilia and one type strain were challenged with co-trimoxazole, ticarcillin-clavulanate, and ciprofloxacin, alone and in combination with antibody. One clinical strain was tested by growth curve experiments for each antibiotic-antibody combination. The use of antibody resulted in significantly increased susceptibility in 71.4% (15/21) of treatments tested, with 33.3% displaying synergy and 38.1% an additive effect. In growth kinetic studies, synergy was obtained for each antibiotic-antibody combination. Thus, the use of antibody raised against multidrug efflux pumps for the treatment of multidrug-resistant organisms warrants further investigation. Antibody targeting substrate recognition sites, or other functionally important epitopes, may lead to inhibition of multiple efflux pumps that share the same substrate and is an attractive area that should be explored.

Fourteen-year survival of Pseudomonas cepacia in a salts solution preserved with benzalkonium chloride.

A strain of Pseudomonas cepacia that survived for 14 years (1963 to 1977) as a contaminant in an inorganic salt solution which contained commercial 0.05% benzalkonium chloride (CBC) as an antimicrobial preservative, was compared to a recent clinical isolate of P. cepacia. Ammonium acetate was present in the concentrated stock CBC solution, and served as a carbon and nitrogen source for growth when carried over into the salts solution with the CBC. The isolate's resistance to pure benzalkonium chloride was increased step-wise to a concentration of 16%. Plate counts showed 4 x 10(3) colony-forming units per ml in the salts solution. Comparison of growth rates, mouse virulence, antibiotics resistance spectra, and substrate requirements disclosed no differences between the contaminant and a recently isolated clinical strain of P. cepacia. The results indicate that it is critical that pharmaceutical solutions containing benzalkonium chloride as an antimicrobial preservative be formulated without extraneous carbon and nitrogen sources or be preserved with additional antimicrobial agents.     

Multidrug efflux pumps and antimicrobial resistance in Pseudomonas aeruginosa and related organisms

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic human pathogen characterized by an innate resistance to multiple antimicrobial agents. A major contribution to this intrinsic multidrug resistance is provided by a number of broadly-specific multidrug efflux systems, including MexAB-OprM and MexXY-OprM. In addition, these and two additional tripartite efflux systems, MexCD-OprJ and MexEF-OprN, promote acquired multidrug resistance as a result of mutational hyperexpression of the efflux genes. In addition to antibiotics, these pumps promote export of numerous dyes, detergents, inhibitors, disinfectants, organic solvents and homoserine lactones involved in quorum sensing. The efflux pump proteins are highly homologous and consist of a cytoplasmic membrane-associated drug-proton antiporter of the Resistance-Nodulation-Division (RND) family, an outer membrane channel-forming protein [sometimes called outer membrane factor (OMF)] and a periplasmic membrane fusion protein (MFP). Homologues of these systems have been described in Stenotrophomonas maltophilia, Burkholderia cepacia, Burkholderia pseudomallei and the non-pathogen Pseudomonas putida, where they play a role in export of and resistance to multiple antimicrobial agents and/or organic solvents. Although the natural function of these multidrug efflux systems is largely unknown, their contribution to antibiotic resistance and their conservation in a number of important human pathogens makes them logical targets for therapeutic intervention.

Immunological and biological relationship among flagellin of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Burkholderia cepacia and Stenotrophomonas maltophilia

The flagellar protein (flagellin) was isolated and purified from strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Burkholderia cepacia and Stenotrophomonas maltophilia. A significant difference was observed in the molecular weight of different flagellin preparations obtained from these bacterial isolates. Antiserum prepared against S. maltophilia flagellin did not react with flagellin of P. aeruginosa or/and B. cepacia on Immunoblot or in indirect ELISA. In addition the anti-flagellin did not agglutinate P. aeruginosa and B. cepacia. No inhibition of motility of P. aeruginosa and B. cepacia was observed in presence of antiserum; though the latter inhibited the motility of S. maltophilia. The results of the present study prove that no specific relationship existed among all the studied flagellar proteins obtained from closely related bacteria.     

Efflux as a mechanism of resistance to antimicrobials in Pseudomonas aeruginosa and related bacteria: unanswered questions

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic human pathogen exhibiting innate resistance to multiple antimicrobial agents. This intrinsic multidrug resistance is caused by synergy between a low-permeability outer membrane and expression of a number of broadly-specific multidrug efflux (Mex) systems, including MexAB-OprM and MexXY-OprM. In addition to this intrinsic resistance, these and three additional systems, MexCD-OprJ, MexEF-OprN and MexJK-OprM promote acquired multidrug resistance as a consequence of hyper-expression of the efflux genes by mutational events. In addition to antibiotics, these pumps export biocides, dyes, detergents, metabolic inhibitors, organic solvents and molecules involved in bacterial cell-cell communication. Homologues of the resistance-nodulation-division systems of P. aeruginosa have been found in Burkholderia cepacia, B. pseudomallei, Stenotrophomonas maltophilia, and the nonpathogen P. putida, where they play roles in resistance to antimicrobials and/or organic solvents. Despite intensive studies of these multidrug efflux systems over the past several years, their precise molecular architectures, their modes of regulation of expression and their natural functions remain largely unknown.

An expression vector containing a rhamnose-inducible promoter provides tightly regulated gene expression in Burkholderia cenocepacia

Infection of the respiratory tract caused by Burkholderia cepacia complex poses a serious risk for cystic fibrosis (CF) patients due to the high morbidity and mortality associated with the chronic infection and the lack of efficacious antimicrobial treatments. A detailed understanding of the pathogenicity of B. cepacia complex infections is hampered in part by the limited availability of genetic tools and the inherent resistance of these isolates to the most common antibiotics used for genetic selection. In this study, we report the construction of an expression vector which uses the rhamnose-regulated P(rhaB) promoter of Escherichia coli. The functionality of the vector was assessed by expressing the enhanced green fluorescent protein (eGFP) gene (e-gfp) and determining the levels of fluorescence emission. These experiments demonstrated that P(rhaB) is responsive to low concentrations of rhamnose and it can be effectively repressed with 0.2% glucose. We also demonstrate that the tight regulation of gene expression by P(rhaB) promoter allows us to extend the capabilities of this vector to the identification of essential genes.
