Transcriptional profiling of Campylobacter jejuni wild-type 81-176 and its ciprofloxacin-resistant derivative (P3) in the presence and absence of ciprofloxacin

ABSTRACT: Campylobacter jejuni is one of the most important zoonotic enteric bacterial pathogens able to colonize the gastrointestinal tract of various animals. The number of campylobacteriosis cases has increased worldwide and the particular concern has been the high level of fluoroquinolone resistance observed in C. jejuni isolates. In this study, we explored the effect of ciprofloxacin in Campylobacter jejuni by gene expression microarray analysis. The comparisons of transcriptional responses were performed in the absence and presence of ciprofloxacin with the wild-type strain 81-176 and its intermediate-resistant variant (P3). The resistant variant contained a single-nucleotide mutation causing amino acid change Asp-90-Asn in the gyrA gene instead of the most common Thr-86-Ile, causing a high-l
