Experimental Evolution of Magnetite Nanoparticle Resistance in Escherichia coli

چکیده
Both ionic and nanoparticle iron have been proposed as materials to control multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria. However, the potential bacteria evolve resistance remains unexplored. To this end, experimental evolution was utilized produce five magnetite nanoparticle-resistant (FeNP1–5) populations of Escherichia coli. The were not exposed nanoparticles. 24-h growth these replicates evaluated in presence increasing concentrations NPs well other metals (gallium III, II, silver I) antibiotics (ampicillin, chloramphenicol, rifampicin, sulfanilamide, tetracycline). Scanning electron microscopy determine cell size shape response selection. Whole genome sequencing carried out if any genomic changes resulted from resistance. After 25 days selection, evident FeNP treatment. also showed a highly significantly (p < 0.0001) greater measured by optical density (Fe (II), Fe (III), Ga Ag, Cu II) FeNP-resistant length compared controls 0.001). Genomic analysis identified both polymorphisms hard selective sweeps RNA polymerase genes rpoA, rpoB, rpoC. Collectively, our results show that E. coli can rapidly nanoparticles result is correlated resistances antibiotics. There morphology resulting adaptation NPs. Thus, various applications could unanticipated metal

Rapid evolution of silver nanoparticle resistance in Escherichia coli
The recent exponential increase in the use of engineered nanoparticles (eNPs) means both greater intentional and unintentional exposure of eNPs to microbes. Intentional use includes the use of eNPs as biocides. Unintentional exposure results from the fact that eNPs are included in a variety of commercial products (paints, sunscreens, cosmetics). Many of these eNPs are composed of heavy metals o...

OBJECTIVES Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli (EAEC) and enterotoxigenic E. coli (ETEC) are among the most frequent microorganisms causing traveller's diarrhoea. The aim of this study was to investigate the evolution of antimicrobial resistance in EAEC and ETEC causing diarrhoea in patients who had travelled to different developing countries, comparing two periods of time, 1994-97 and 2001-04. ...

متن کاملDirected evolution of ionizing radiation resistance in Escherichia coli.
We have generated extreme ionizing radiation resistance in a relatively sensitive bacterial species, Escherichia coli, by directed evolution. Four populations of Escherichia coli K-12 were derived independently from strain MG1655, with each specifically adapted to survive exposure to high doses of ionizing radiation. D(37) values for strains isolated from two of the populations approached that ...
متن کاملResistance patterns of Escherichia coli causing urinary tract infection
Background: Urinary tract infection (UTI) is one of the most prevalent infectious diseases and Escherichia coli is its common cause. The aim of this study was to assess the resistance patterns of E.coli in urinary tract infections and to determine the susceptibility of E.coli to commonly used antimicrobials and also to evaluate the options for empirical treatment of UTI. Methods: This stud...
