Reporter clones of Staphylococcus aureus with different SOS response- and DNA repair-associated promoter-lux gene fusion constructs were constructed to study the effects of sub-MICs of antibiotics on the transcription of the SOS and methyl mismatch repair (MMR) genes. Fluoroquinolones (FQs) upmodulated both the SOS and the MMR genes. The patterns of antibiotic-induced transcriptional modulation were altered in FQ-resistant mutants.
构建了带有不同SOS反应和DNA修复相关启动子-荧光素酶基因融合构建体的金黄色葡萄球菌报告克隆,以研究亚抑菌浓度抗生素对SOS和甲基错配修复(MMR)基因转录的影响。氟喹诺酮类药物(FQs)上调了SOS和MMR基因。在耐FQ突变体中,抗生素诱导的转录调控模式发生了改变。
