In vitro effects of sub-inhibitory concentrations of amoxicillin on physiological responses and virulence determinants in a commensal strain of Escherichia coli.

Abstract:

AIMS:The goal was to study the effects of sub-minimum inhibitory concentrations (sub-MICs) of amoxicillin (AMX) on various physiological responses and virulence determinants in a commensal strain of Escherichia coli. MATERIALS AND RESULTS:The commensal strain was passaged under various sub-MICs of AMX and its effect on bacterial growth, motility, biofilm formation, expression of outer membrane proteins (OMPs) and cell adhesion was analysed. Bacterial growth was diminished at 1/2 and 1/4 MICs of AMX with significant reduction in growth rate. Using crystal violet (CV) assays and quantification of surface polysaccharides we observed strong biofilm formation, together with reduced swimming motility in E. coli at 1/2 MIC of AMX. Differential OMP expression upon AMX sub-MIC exposure coincided with enhanced cell adhesion to HT-29 cells in vitro. The results demonstrated that sub-MICs of AMX can stimulate unpredictable changes in commensal bacterial strains which can be a potent source for the propagation of antibiotic resistance. CONCLUSIONS:The study reports that AMX at 1/2 MIC significantly compromised bacterial growth and swimming motility, alongside inducing biofilm formation. This was also accompanied by upregulation of a single OMP which subsequently increased cell adhesion capabilities in E. coli at 1/2 MIC, thereby enhancing its colonization and survival abilities within the gut microsphere. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY:For the first time, the effects of AMX sub-MICs on a commensal E. coli strain were described. The results corroborate on how antibiotics can act as stimulatory molecules and determine the pathogenicity of commensal bacteria in vivo that can disseminate resistance to other intestinal pathogens or microbes.
