Analysis of antibiotic resistance gene expression in Pseudomonas aeruginosa by quantitative real-time-PCR

In Pseudomonas aeruginosa many of the clinically relevant resistance mechanisms result from changes in gene expression as exemplified by the Mex drug efflux pumps, the AmpC beta-lactamase and the carbapenem-specific porin OprD. We used quantitative real-time-PCR to analyze the expression of these genes in susceptible and antibiotic-resistant laboratory and clinical strains. In nalB mutants, which overexpress OprM, we observed a four- to eightfold increase in the expression of mexA, mexB, and oprM genes. MexX and mexY genes were induced eight to 12 times in the presence of 2 mg L(-1) tetracycline. The mexC/oprJ and mexE/oprN gene expression levels were increased 30- to 250-fold and 100- to 760-fold in nfxB and nfxC mutants, respectively. We further found that in defined laboratory strains expression levels of ampC and oprD genes paralleled beta-lactamase activity and OprD protein levels, respectively. Our data support the use of quantitative real-time-PCR chain reaction for the analysis of the antimicrobial resistance gene expression in P. aeruginosa.     

Role for rpoS gene of Pseudomonas aeruginosa in antibiotic tolerance

The alternative sigma factor, RpoS has been described as a central regulator of many stationary phase-inducible genes and a master stress-response regulator under various stress conditions. We constructed an rpoS mutant in Pseudomonas aeruginosa and investigated the role of rpoS gene in antibiotic tolerance. The survival of the rpoS mutant cells in stationary phase was approximately 70 times lower when compared with that of the parental strain at 37 degrees C for 2 h after the addition of biapenem. For imipenem, the survival was approximately 40 times lower. Heat stress promoted an increase in the survival of the parental strain to biapenem, but the same was not found to be the case for the rpoS mutant. Our results indicate that rpoS gene is involved in tolerance to antibiotics in P. aeruginosa during the stationary phase and heat stress. However, under osmotic stress, tolerance to biapenem was not dependent on the rpoS gene.

Adherence of Pseudomonas aeruginosa to inanimate polymers including biomaterials

Cells of Pseudomonas aeruginosa were adhered to polymethyl methacrylate, polyvinyl acetate, polyvinyl chloride, polyhydroxyethyl methacrylate, mixed-acrylic, silicone, and natural latex materials. Planktonic bacteria and bacteria that adhered to the test materials were compared for their uptake of either L-[3,4,5-³H] leucine or [methyl-³H] thymidine during growth in a minimal medium. Leucine incorporation was reduced and thymidine uptake was negligible in adherent bacteria for up to 8 h following primary attachment by which time cells in the planktonic state showed active uptake of both substrates. These reduced uptake periods correlated with lag phases of growth of adherent cells as determined with a sonication-release plate count procedure and analyses of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). The extent of the lag phase of the adherent populations was dependent on initial densities of adhered cells and the nature of the substratum.

Cloning and expression in Enterobacteriaceae of the extended-spectrum β-lactamase gene from a Pseudomonas aeruginosa plasmid

Abstract An extended-spectrum β-lactamase, the gene for which is located on plasmid pMS350 in Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains, hydrolyzes carbapenems and other extended-spectrum β-lactam antibiotics. We cloned the pMS350 β-lactamase gene in an Escherichia coli K-12 strain using the vector plasmid pHSG398, and subcloned it into pMS360, a plasmid with a wide host-range. This resulted in the formation of the recombinant plasmid, pMS363, containing a 4.1-kb DNA insert that includes the extended-spectrum β-lactamase gene. Plasmid pMS363 was introduced into the P. aeruginosa PAO strain or into six species of Enterobacteriaceae, and the specific activities of the β-lactamase and MICs of various β-lactam antibiotics were estimated. The cloned gene was capable of expression in these strains and caused resistance to carbapenem, penem and other β-lactam antibiotics, with the exception of aztreonam.
