Macrolide antibiotics modulate the quorum-sensing system of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. We tested the effect of macrolide antibiotics on the cell density-dependent expression of the MexAB-OprM efflux pump and found that 1.0 mug/ml (MIC/6.25) of azithromycin suppressed the expression of MexAB-OprM by about 70%, with the result that the cells became two- to fourfold more susceptible to antibiotics such as aztreonam, tetracycline, carbenicillin, chloramphenicol, and novobiocin.
大环内酯类抗生素可调节铜绿假单胞菌的群体感应系统。我们测试了大环内酯类抗生素对MexAB-OprM外排泵细胞密度依赖性表达的影响,发现1.0微克/毫升(MIC/6.25)的阿奇霉素可使MexAB-OprM的表达抑制约70%,结果使细胞对氨曲南、四环素、羧苄青霉素、氯霉素和新生霉素等抗生素的敏感性提高了2至4倍。
