Two Pseudomonas aeruginosa mutants exhibiting increased expression of ampC were selected during exposure to ciprofloxacin. These mutants also exhibited significant increases in mexCD-oprJ expression, but further studies failed to show a link between the increased expression of mexCD-oprJ and ampC. Increased ampC expression was not related to mutations within ampR, the ampC-ampR intergenic region, ampD, ampDh2, or ampDh3 or to changes in the levels of expression of these amidase genes. However, ampD complementation restored wild-type levels of ampC expression and ceftazidime susceptibility, suggesting alternative mechanisms of ampC regulation.
在接触环丙沙星期间,筛选出了两株表现出ampC表达增加的铜绿假单胞菌突变体。这些突变体的mexCD-oprJ表达也显著增加,但进一步研究未能表明mexCD-oprJ表达增加与ampC之间存在联系。ampC表达增加与ampR、ampC-ampR基因间区域、ampD、ampDh2或ampDh3内的突变无关,也与这些酰胺酶基因的表达水平变化无关。然而,ampD互补恢复了ampC表达的野生型水平和头孢他啶敏感性,提示ampC调控的其他机制。
