Effect of sub-minimal inhibitory concentration ceftazidime on the pathogenicity of uropathogenic Escherichia coli.

Abstract:

:Uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) is the most prevalent causative agent of urinary tract infections (UTIs). The pathogenicity of UPEC relies on the expression of virulence factors which could be regulated by intercellular signal molecules. Our previous study found that sub-minimal inhibitory concentration ceftazidime (sub-MIC CAZ) could inhibit the biofilm formation of E. coli by luxS/AI-2 or indole. Therefore, we speculated that sub-MIC CAZ might affect the pathogenic capacity of UPEC. In this study, the results showed that sub-MIC CAZ could significantly inhibit the adhesion ability, biofilm formation and swimming and swarming motilities of UPEC isolated from recurrent UTI patient. Meanwhile, obvious decreased hemolytic activity and cytotoxicity were observed in CAZ-pretreated UPEC. Furthermore, qRT-PCR results confirmed the downregulating ability of CAZ on the expression of adhesion genes, motility genes, toxin gene and signal molecule synthesis genes, which are important for virulence and biofilm formation of UPEC. Pre-treatment of UPEC with sub-MIC CAZ resulted in the reduced adhesion to human bladder epithelial cell 5637 and the decreased numbers of intracellular bacterial communities in cells. Consistent with the results in vitro, the pretreatment of CAZ resulted in the reduction of UPEC load in the bladder and the less severity of UPEC-induced inflammation compared with control group. The present study results indicated that sub-MIC CAZ could decrease the pathogenicity of UPEC and might be served as an effective antimicrobial agent to combat recurrent UTI caused by UPEC.
