The Acinetobacter baumannii RND efflux pump AdeABC is regulated by the 2-component regulator AdeRS. In this study, we compared the regulation and expression of AdeABC of the reference strains ATCC 17978 and ATCC 19606. A clearly stronger efflux activity was demonstrated for ATCC 19606. An amino acid substitution at residue 172 of was identified as a potential cause for differential expression of the pump. Therefore, we recommend caution with exclusively using single reference strains for research.
鲍曼不动杆菌的 RND 外排泵 AdeABC 受双组分调控系统 AdeRS 调控。在本研究中,我们比较了参考菌株 ATCC 17978 和 ATCC 19606 中 AdeABC 的调控和表达情况。结果显示,ATCC 19606 的外排活性明显更强。我们发现 172 位氨基酸的替换可能是导致泵表达差异的潜在原因。因此,我们建议在研究中谨慎使用单一的参考菌株。
