Abstract:

The aim of this study was to explore the role of cpxR gene in the multidrug resistance of Salmonella enterica Serovar Typhimurium and exclude a possibility that acrB masks the effect of cpxR on the other efflux pumps or outer membrane proteins.A acrB gene deletion strain JSΔacrB was constructed by the method of one-step inactivation of chromosomal genes on basis of Red homologous recombination system.A double gene deletion strain JSΔacrBΔcpxRkan was constructed by phage P22-mediated transduction with strain JSΔcpxRkan constructed in the previous study as the donor and strain JSΔacrB as the recipient.Meanwhile,the cpxR complemental strain JSΔacrBΔcpxRkan/pcpxR was prepared through introducting the expression plasmid pBAD-CpxR into the double gene mutant.At last the minimal inhibitory concentrations(MICs) of 10 kinds of commonly used representative antibacterial agents for JS and the above strains constructed in this study were determined with broth microdilution method.The double gene deletion strain and related cpxR complemental strain were constructed successfully.Strain JSΔacrB showed 32-,4-,4-,16-,32-,4-,2- and 128-fold decrease in the MICs of doxycycline,gentamycin,amikacin,ciprofloxacin,enrofloxacin,florfenicol,ceftriaxone and ceftiofur respectively,compared to the parent strain JS.Strain JSΔacrBΔcpxRkan showed 2-,8-,2- and 2-fold decrease in the MICs of doxycycline,gentamicin,amikacin,and ceftiofur compared to strain JSΔacrB.While the complemental strain JSΔacrBΔcpxRkan/pcpxR showed 4-,16-,2- and 4-fold increase in the MICs of the above four kinds of antibacterial agents compared to strain JSΔacrBΔcpxRkan.In conclusion,cpxR is able to regulate the antimicrobial susceptibility of S.enterica Serovar Typhimurium to doxycycline,gentamicin,amikacin,and ceftiofur.
