Description

It is produced by the strain of Bacillus polymyxa var. colistinus and Bac. colistinum Koyama 70-B. It has good anti-gram-negative bacterial activity, but has poor effect on Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Proteus aeruginosa. Colistin, also known as polymyxin E, is an antibiotic medication used as a last-resort treatment for multidrug-resistant Gram negative infections including pneumonia.

Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA) is an important airway pathogen of cystic fibrosis and chronic obstructive disease patients. Multiply drug resistant PA is becoming increasing prevalent and new strategies are needed to combat such insidious organisms. We have previously shown that a mucoid, mucA22 mutant PA is exquisitely sensitive to acidified nitrite ([Formula: see text], pH 6.5) at concentrations that are well tolerated in humans. Here, we used a transposon mutagenesis approach to identify PA mutants that are hypersensitive to [Formula: see text]. Among greater than 10,000 mutants screened, we focused on PA4455, in which the transposon was found to disrupt the production of a putative cytoplasmic membrane-spanning ABC transporter permease. The PA4455 mutant was not only highly sensitive to [Formula: see text], but also the membrane perturbing agent, EDTA and the antibiotics doxycycline, tigecycline, colistin, and chloramphenicol, respectively.

Colistin is a last-resort antibiotic for treatment of carbapenem-resistantKlebsiella pneumoniae A recent study indicated that missense mutations in the CrrB protein contribute to colistin resistance. In our previous study, mechanisms of colistin resistance were defined in seventeen of twenty-six colistin-resistantK. pneumoniaeclinical isolates. Of the remaining nine strains, eight were highly resistant to colistin. In the present study,crrABsequences were determined for these eight strains. Six separate amino acid substitutions in CrrB (Q10L, Y31H, W140R, N141I, P151S, and S195N) were detected. Site-directed mutagenesis was used to generatecrrBloci harboring individual missense mutations; introduction of the mutated genes into a susceptible strain, A4528, resulted in 64- to 1024-fold increases in colistin minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs). ThesecrrBmutants showed increased accumulation ofH239_3062,H239_3059,pmrA,pmrC,andpmrHtranscripts by quantitative RT-PCR.
