Abstract

Low concentrations of some antibiotics have been reported to stimulate mutagenesis and recombination, which may facilitate bacterial adaptation to different types of stress, including antibiotic pressure. However, the mutagenic effect of most of the currently used antibiotics remains untested. Furthermore, it is known that in many bacteria, including Escherichia coli, stimulation of mutagenesis is mediated by the SOS response. Thus, blockage or attenuation of this response through the inhibition of RecA has been proposed as a possible therapeutic adjuvant in combined therapy to reduce the ability to generate antibiotic-resistant mutants. The aim of this work was to study the capacity of sublethal concentrations of antimicrobials of different families with different molecular targets to increase the mutant frequency of E. coli, and the effect that inactivation of recA would have on antibiotic-mediated mutagenesis.

a mutation or genetic difference within a strain

  • Taxon: Escherichia coli
  • Strain: K-12
  • Substrain: ME12
  • NCBI Taxon ID: 8333
  • Genotype of Reference Strain: recA
  • Genotype of Experimental Strain : recA deletion
  • Reference Condition:

Once the recA gene was deactivated various antibiotics were added at sublethal levels. This resulted in a decrease in the mutant frequency compared to the wildtype, especially with the antibiotics Gentamicin, Rifampicin and Chloramphenical.
