Mig-14 is essential for Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium (S. Typhimurium) resistance to antimicrobial peptides, including polymyxin B (PB). However, the molecular mechanism is as yet unknown. In this study, we demonstrated that mig-14 also played a crucial role in Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi (S. Typhi) resistance to PB. A series of genes associated with drug-resistance controlled by Mig-14 were identified in the presence of PB. Among which, ompF and ompC were up-regulated 8 and 6 folds in mig-14 mutant (Δmig-14) strains, respectively. Further, the deletion of ompF or/and ompC in Δmig-14 strains decreased their sensitivity to PB. Besides, the biofilm formation ability was reduced in Δmig-14 strains. Our results indicate that Mig-14 may contribute to PB resistance in S. Typhi by decreasing the permeability of the outer membrane and promoting biofilm formation.
Mig-14 对于沙门氏菌血清型 Typhimurium(S. Typhimurium)抵抗抗菌肽,包括多粘菌素 B(PB)是必不可少的。然而,其分子机制尚不清楚。在本研究中,我们证明 mig-14 对于沙门氏菌血清型 Typhi(S. Typhi)抵抗 PB 也起着至关重要的作用。在 PB 存在的情况下,确定了一系列与 Mig-14 控制的耐药性相关的基因。其中,ompF 和 ompC 在 mig-14 突变体(Δmig-14)菌株中分别上调了 8 倍和 6 倍。此外,在 Δmig-14 菌株中缺失 ompF 或/和 ompC 降低了它们对 PB 的敏感性。此外,Δmig-14 菌株的生物膜形成能力降低。我们的结果表明,Mig-14 可能通过降低外膜的通透性和促进生物膜形成来有助于 S. Typhi 对 PB 的耐药性。
