BACKGROUND: Suppression of the SOS response has been proposed as a therapeutic strategy for potentiating quinolones against susceptible, low-level quinolone-resistant (LLQR) and resistant Enterobacteriaceae.
OBJECTIVES: To monitor the functionality of the SOS response in the evolution towards clinical quinolone resistance and study its impact on the evolution of spatiotemporal resistance.
METHODS: An isogenic collection of Escherichia coli (derived from the strain ATCC 25922) carrying combinations of chromosomally and plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance mechanisms (including susceptible, LLQR and resistant phenotypes) and exhibiting a spectrum of SOS activity was used. Relevant clinical parameters such as mutation rate, mutant prevention concentration (MPC), bacterial fitness, biofilm formation and post-antibiotic effect (PAE) were evaluated.
RESULTS: Inactivating the SOS response (recA deletion) led to a decrease in mutation rate (∼103 fold) in LLQR compared with WT strains at ciprofloxacin concentrations of 1 mg/L (the EUCAST breakpoint for resistance) and 2.5 mg/L (Cmax), as well as a remarkable delay in the spatiotemporal evolution of quinolone resistance. For all strains, there was an 8-fold decrease in MPC in RecA-deficient strains, with values for LLQR strains decreasing below the Cmax of ciprofloxacin. Inactivation of the SOS response reduced competitive fitness by 33%-50%, biofilm production by 22%-80% and increased the PAE by ∼3-4 h at sub-MIC concentrations of ciprofloxacin.
CONCLUSIONS: Our data indicate that suppression of the SOS response affects key bacterial traits and is a promising strategy for reversing and tackling the evolution of antibiotic resistance in E. coli, including low-level and resistant phenotypes at therapeutic quinolone concentrations.
