Role of the outer membrane for quinolone resistance in enterobacteria

Chemotherapy
M DechèneW Cullmann

Abstract

Quinolone-resistant clones were selected from clinical Escherichia coli, Citrobacter freundii and Serratia marcescens isolates in a frequency ranging from 10(-8) to 10(-6). The outer membrane proteins of quinolone-resistant E. coli clones remained unaltered, as was the case for 10 of 11 C. freundii and 4 of 11 S. marcescens clones ('nal B' type). There was no strong relation between alterations of outer membrane proteins and cross-resistance with chemically unrelated compounds such as tetracycline or chloramphenicol; however, tetracycline resistance was observed in some C. freundii clones with unaltered outer membrane proteins ('mar A'). Most of the quinolone-resistant S. marcescens clones can be considered 'nor B' or 'nor C' mutants due to their cross-resistance with other compounds, their altered outer membrane proteins and changes of lipopolysaccharide. In a few cases, subinhibitory quinolone concentrations caused alterations of outer membrane proteins in S. marcescens during mid log phase without development of resistance.

Allergy & Infectious Diseases (ASM)

Allergies result from the hyperreactivity of the immune system to some environmental substance and can be life-threatening. Infectious diseases are caused by organisms including bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites. They can be transmitted different ways, such as person-to-person. Here is the latest research on allergy and infectious diseases.

Antimicrobial Resistance (ASM)

Antimicrobial resistance poses a significant threat to the continued successful use of antimicrobial agents for the treatment of bacterial infections.
