The non-coding RNA rprA can increase the resistance to ampicillin in Escherichia coli.

Abstract:

OBJECTIVES:The non-coding RNA rprA can increase the resistance to ampicillin in Escherichia coli. METHODS:Bacterial DNA was extracted by boiling method and then amplified using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) with two different primer sets. Recombinant pET28a/rprA-sense and -antisense plasmids were separately transferred into the competent E. coli BL21 (DE3) by chemical methods using heat shock. The expression was analyzed at the RNA level using Semi quantitative RT PCR. The turbidity difference between the bacteria was checked by Broth Dilution method. RESULTS:The statistical analysis showed that the turbidity difference between the up regulated and control bacteria is significant (p value < 0.0001). The ANOVA test also showed the significant difference between the down regulated and control bacteria (p value < 0.0001). CONCLUSION:Considering this mechanism, there are some reports indicating the role of rprA in antibiotic resistance. However, the role of rprA in ampicillin resistance is remained to be unknown. The aim of this study was to analyze the up regulation and down regulation of rprA and check their effects on ampicillin resistance in Escherichia coli. It was found that the up regulation and down regulation of rprA can lead into more antibiotics resistance and susceptibility, respectively. Our results showed the potential role of rprA expression in the response to ampicillin stress in E. coli.
