- BackgroundMutations in RNA polymerase (RNAP) can reduce susceptibility to ciprofloxacin in Escherichia coli, but the mechanism of transcriptional reprogramming responsible is unknown. Strains carrying ciprofloxacin-resistant (CipR) rpoB mutations have reduced growth fitness and their impact on clinical resistance development is unclear.ObjectivesTo assess the potential for CipRrpoB mutations to contribute to resistance development by estimating the number of distinct alleles. To identify fitness-compensatory mutations that ameliorate the fitness costs of CipRrpoB mutations. To understand how CipRrpoB mutations reprogramme RNAP.MethodsE. coli strains carrying five different CipRrpoB alleles were evolved with selection for improved fitness and characterized for acquired mutations, relative fitness and MICCip. The effects of dksA mutations and a ppGpp0 background on growth and susceptibility phenotypes associated with CipRrpoB alleles were determined.ResultsThe number of distinct CipRrpoB mutations was estimated to be >100. Mutations in RNAP genes and in dksA can compensate for the fitness cost of CipRrpoB mutations. Deletion of dksA reduced the MICCip for strains carrying CipRrpoB alleles. A ppGpp0 phenotype had no effect on drug susceptibility.ConclusionsCipRrpoB mutations induce an ppGpp-independent stringent-like response. Approximately half of the reduction in ciprofloxacin susceptibility is caused by an increased affinity of RNAP to DksA while the other half is independent of DksA. Stringent-like response activating mutations might be the most diverse class of mutations reducing susceptibility to antibiotics.
