- W2800768460 abstract "ABSTRACT The rapid dissemination of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) around the globe is largely due to mobile genetic elements, such as plasmids. They confer resistance to critically important drugs, including extended-spectrum beta-lactams, carbapenems, and colistin. Large, complex resistance plasmids have evolved alongside their host bacteria. However, much of the research on plasmid-host evolution has focused on small, simple laboratory plasmids in laboratory-adapted bacterial hosts. These and other studies have documented mutations in both host and plasmid genes which occur after plasmid introduction to ameliorate fitness costs of plasmid carriage. We describe here the impact of two naturally occurring variants of a large AMR plasmid (pKpQIL) on a globally successful pathogen. In our study, after pKpQIL plasmid introduction, no changes in coding domain sequences were observed in their natural host, Klebsiella pneumoniae . However, significant changes in chromosomal and plasmid gene expression may have allowed the bacterium to adapt to the acquisition of the AMR plasmid. We hypothesize that this was sufficient to ameliorate the associated fitness costs of plasmid carriage, as pKpQIL plasmids were maintained without selection pressure. The dogma that removal of selection pressure (e.g., antimicrobial exposure) results in plasmid loss due to bacterial fitness costs is not true for all plasmid/host combinations. We also show that pKpQIL impacted the ability of K. pneumoniae to form a biofilm, an important aspect of virulence. This study used highly relevant models to study the interaction between AMR plasmids and pathogens and revealed striking differences from results of studies done on laboratory-adapted plasmids and strains. IMPORTANCE Antimicrobial resistance is a serious problem facing society. Many of the genes that confer resistance can be shared between bacteria through mobile genetic elements, such as plasmids. Our work shows that when two clinically relevant AMR plasmids enter their natural host bacteria, there are changes in gene expression, rather than changes to gene coding sequences. These changes in gene expression ameliorate the potential fitness costs of carriage of these AMR plasmids. In line with this, the plasmids were stable within their natural host and were not lost in the absence of selective pressure. We also show that better understanding of the impact of resistance plasmids on fundamental pathogen biology, including biofilm formation, is crucial for fighting drug-resistant infections." @default.
