The Pseudomonas aeruginosa CreBC two-component system plays a major role in the response to β-lactams, fitness, biofilm growth, and global regulation.
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a ubiquitous versatile environmental microorganism with a remarkable ability to grow under diverse environmental conditions. Moreover, P. aeruginosa is responsible for life-threatening infections in immunocompromised and cystic fibrosis patients, as the extraordinary capacity of this pathogen to develop antimicrobial resistance dramatically limits our therapeutic arsen...
متن کاملExpression and Functions of CreD, an Inner Membrane Protein in Stenotrophomonas maltophilia
CreBC is a highly conserved two-component regulatory system (TCS) in several gram-negative bacteria, including Escherichia coli, Aeromonas spp., Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Stenotrophomonas maltophilia. CreD is a conserved gene that encodes a predicted inner-membrane protein and is located near the creBC loci. Activation of CreBC increases creD expression; therefore, creD expression is generall...
متن کاملβ-Lactam Resistance Response Triggered by Inactivation of a Nonessential Penicillin-Binding Protein
It has long been recognized that the modification of penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) to reduce their affinity for beta-lactams is an important mechanism (target modification) by which Gram-positive cocci acquire antibiotic resistance. Among Gram-negative rods (GNR), however, this mechanism has been considered unusual, and restricted to clinically irrelevant laboratory mutants for most specie...
متن کاملAntibiotic resistance in Pseudomonas aeruginosa is associated with decreased fitness.
The number of clinical specimens containing β-lactam-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates is increasing. However, whether resistance is associated with reduced fitness is still uncertain in clinical Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates. In this study, we aimed to determine whether β-lactam resistance conferred a fitness cost in Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Growth rate, extracellular slime production...
متن کاملRelation between Resistance to Antipseudomonal β-Lactams and ampC and mexC Genes of Pseudomonas aeruginosa
Background: In order to select a better antibiotic choice for treatment of Pseudomonas aeruginosa infections, this study was conducted to determine the frequency of resistance to some antipseudomonal β-lactams in P. aeruginosa isolates from patients in Tehran, Iran. In addition, the relation between presence of genes known to be responsible for resist...
