Amidochelocardin is a broad-spectrum antibiotic with activity against many Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. According to recent data, the antibiotic effect of this atypical tetracycline is directed against the cytoplasmic membrane, which is associated with the dissipation of the membrane potential. Here, we investigated the effect of amidochelocardin on the proteome of Clostridioides difficile to gain insight into the membrane stress physiology of this important anaerobic pathogen. For the first time, the membrane-directed action of amidochelocardin was confirmed in an anaerobic pathogen. More importantly, our results revealed that aromatic compounds potentially play an important role in C. difficile upon dissipation of its membrane potential. More precisely, a simultaneously increased production of enzymes required for the synthesis of chorismate and two putative phenazine biosynthesis proteins point to the production of a hitherto unknown compound in response to membrane depolarization. Finally, increased levels of the ClnAB efflux system and its transcriptional regulator ClnR were found, which were previously found in response to cationic antimicrobial peptides like LL-37. Therefore, our data provide a starting point for a more detailed understanding of C. difficile way to counteract membrane-active compounds. C. difficile is an important anaerobe pathogen causing mild to severe infections of the gastrointestinal tract. To avoid relapse of the infection following antibiotic therapy, antibiotics are needed that efficiently eradicate C. difficile from the intestinal tract. Since C. difficile was shown to be substantially sensitive to membrane-active antibiotics, it has been proposed that membrane-active antibiotics might be promising for the therapy of C. difficile infections. Therefore, we studied the response of C. difficile to amidochelocardin, a membrane-active antibiotic dissipating the membrane potential. Interestingly, C. difficile response to amidochelocardin indicates a role of aromatic metabolites in mediating stress caused by dissipation of the membrane potential.
