A recent study shows that high expression of the efflux-pump AcrAB-TolC, which increases antibiotic tolerance, reduces DNA mismatch repair in Escherichia coli to promote spontaneous mutations. Because mutations in target genes can lead to high-level resistance, this highlights how transiently tolerant cells can develop resistance in response to antibiotic treatment.
最近的一项研究表明,外排泵 AcrAB-TolC 的高表达会增加抗生素耐受性,从而降低大肠杆菌中的 DNA 错配修复,促进自发突变。由于靶基因的突变会导致高水平的耐药性,这突出表明短暂耐受的细胞如何对抗生素治疗产生耐药性。
