To determine whether the overexpression of chromosomal genes can confer fosfomycin resistance, genomewide screening of a complete set of 5,272 plasmid-expressed open reading frames of Escherichia coli (ASKA collection) was performed. Major results are that (i) no clinical level of resistance is achieved by overexpressing chromosomal genes, except murA; (ii) this level is reached at a low fitness cost; and (iii) this cost is much lower than that imposed by other mutations conferring fosfomycin resistance.
为了确定染色体基因的过表达是否可以赋予磷霉素抗性,对大肠杆菌的整套 5272 个质粒表达开放阅读框(ASKA 集合)进行了全基因组筛选。主要结果是:(i)除 murA 外,过表达染色体基因不能达到临床水平的抗性;(ii)这种水平是以低适应性成本达到的;(iii)这种成本比赋予磷霉素抗性的其他突变所施加的成本低得多。
