Antibiotics induce redox-related physiological alterations as part of their lethality

ABSTRACT: Deeper understanding of antibiotic-induced physiological responses is critical to identifying means for enhancing our current antibiotic arsenal. Bactericidal antibiotics with diverse targets have been hypothesized to kill bacteria, in part, by inducing production of damaging reactive species. This notion has been supported by many groups, but recently challenged. Here we robustly test the hypothesis using biochemical, enzymatic and biophysical assays along with genetic and phenotypic experiments. We first used a novel intracellular hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) sensor, together with a chemically diverse panel of fluorescent dyes sensitive to an array of reactive species, to demonstrate that antibiotics broadly induce redox stress. Subsequent gene expression analyses reveal that complex antibiotic-induced oxidative stress responses are distinct from canonical responses generated by supra-physiological levels of H2O2. We next developed a method to dynamically quantify cellular respiration and found that bactericidal antibiotics elevate oxygen consumption, indicating significant alterations to bacterial redox physiology. We further show that catalase or DNA mismatch repair enzyme overexpression, as well as antioxidant pre-treatment limit antibiotic lethality, indicating that reactive oxygen species causatively contribute to antibiotic killing. Critically, the killing efficacy of antibiotics was diminished under strict anaerobic conditions, but could be enhanced by exposure to molecular oxygen or addition of alternative electron acceptors, suggesting that environmental factors play a role in killing cells physiologically primed for death. This work provides direct evidence that bactericidal antibiotics, downstream of their target-specific interactions, induce complex redox alterations that contribute to cellular damage and death, thus supporting an evolving, expanded model of antibiotic lethality. Here, we used microarrays to analyze oxidative stress responses to bactericidal antibiotic treatment in wildtype and mutant E coli WT or mutant E coli cells were grown to OD ~0.3. Untreated cells were harvested at time 0 as controls. Treated cells given the appropriate chemical perturbation and harvested 1 hour post-treatment. All experiments were performed in technical triplicate.

Project description:The overuse of antibiotics has made public health and safety face a serious crisis. It is urgent to develop new clinical treatment methods to combat drug-resistant bacteria to alleviate the health crisis. The efficiency of antibiotics is closely related to the metabolic state of bacteria. However, studies on fluoroquinolone-resistant Salmonella are relatively rare. In this study, non-targeted metabolomics was used to analyze the metabolic difference between sarafloxacin-susceptible Salmonella Typhimurium (SAR-S) and sarafloxacin-resistant Salmonella Typhimurium (SAR-R), and found that the central carbon metabolism was weakened due to drug resistance. We also confirmed that exogenous L-leucine increased the killing effect of sarafloxacin on SAR-R and other clinically resistant Salmonella serotypes. Exogenous L-leucine stimulated the metabolic state of bacteria, especially the TCA cycle, which increased the working efficiency of the electron transfer chain and increased the intracellular NADH, ATP concentration and reactive oxygen species level. Furthermore, we used real-time quantitative PCR to confirm the changes in various metabolic characteristics. Our results suggest that when the metabolism of drug-resistant bacteria is reprogrammed, the bactericidal effect of antibiotics improves. This study further enhances research in the anti-drug resistance field at the metabolic level and provides theoretical support for solving the current problem of sarafloxacin drug resistance, a unique fluoroquinolone drug for animals. To sum up, our research results showed that exogenous L-leucine promotes the bactericidal effect of antibiotics through metabolic modification of drug-resistant bacteria, which has the potential as a new adjuvant of antibiotics.
