Putative environmental levels of levofloxacin facilitate the dissemination of antibiotic-resistant Escherichia coli via plasmid-mediated transformability.

Abstract：

:Antibiotic residues in the environment pose a great risk to global public health. They increase antibiotic resistance by enhancing plasmid conjugation among bacteria or mutations within bacterial genomes. However, little is known about whether the putative environmental levels of antibiotics are sufficient to influence plasmid-mediated transformability. In this study, we explored the effect of eight kinds of representative antibiotics and several other compounds on the plasmid transformability of competent Escherichia coli. Only levofloxacin (LEV) at the putative environmental levels was found to facilitate the frequency of PBR322-or RP4-plasmid-mediated transformation by up to 5.3-fold. Additionally, PBR322 transformation frequency could be further enhanced by copper ion or ammonia nitrogen but inhibited by humic acid. However, when competent E. coli was exposed to the minimal inhibitory concentrations (MIC) of the antibiotics, an enhanced plasmid-assimilation ability was observed and plasmid transformation frequency was increased by up to 98.6-fold for all the tested antibiotics. Furthermore, E. coli exhibited a preference for the uptake of plasmids harbouring the resistance genes to the antibiotics it had been exposed to. Among these antibiotics, cephalexin, tetracycline, and kanamycin induced the highest uptake of RP4. The putative environmental levels of LEV enhanced plasmid transformability regardless of the presence of corresponding antibiotic resistance gene (ARG) on the genetic elements, suggesting environmental LEV residues may facilitate dissemination of antibiotic resistance by any plasmid-mediated transformability, thereby posing a great risk to health.
