- W2982367306 abstract "Abstract Fosfomycin is a bactericidal antibiotic, analogous to phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) that exerts its activity by inhibiting the activity of MurA. This enzyme catalyzes the first step of peptidoglycan biosynthesis, the transfer of enolpyruvate from PEP to uridine-diphosphate-N-acetylglucosamine. Fosfomycin is increasingly used in the last years, mainly for treating infections caused by Gram-negative multidrug resistant bacteria as Stenotrophomonas maltophilia , an opportunistic pathogen characterized by its low susceptibility to antibiotics of common use. The mechanisms of mutational resistance to fosfomycin in S. maltophilia were studied in the current work. None of the mechanisms so far described for other organisms, which include the production of fosfomycin inactivating enzymes, target modification, induction of alternative peptidoglycan biosynthesis pathway and the impaired entrance of the antibiotic, are involved in the acquisition of such resistance by this bacterial species. Rather the unique cause of resistance in the studied mutants is the mutational inactivation of different enzymes belonging to the Embden-Meyerhof-Parnas central metabolism pathway. The amount of intracellular fosfomycin accumulation did not change in any of these mutants showing that neither the inactivation nor the transport of the antibiotic were involved. Transcriptomic analysis also showed that the mutants did not present changes in the expression level of putative alternative peptidoglycan biosynthesis pathway genes neither any related enzyme. Finally, the mutants did not present an increased PEP concentration that might compete with fosfomycin for its binding to MurA. Based on these results, we describe a completely novel mechanism of antibiotic resistance based on the remodeling of S. maltophilia metabolism. Significance Antibiotic resistance (AR) has been largely considered as a specific bacterial response to an antibiotic challenge. Indeed, its study has been mainly concentrated in mechanisms that affect the antibiotics (mutations in transporters, the activity of efflux pumps and antibiotic modifying enzymes) or their targets (i.e.: target mutations, protection or bypass). Usually, AR-associated metabolic changes were considered to be a consequence (fitness costs) and not a cause of AR. Herein, we show that strong alterations in the bacterial metabolism can also be the cause of AR. In the study here presented, Stenotrophomonas maltophilia acquires fosfomycin resistance through the inactivation of glycolytic enzymes belonging to the Embden-Meyerhof-Parnas. Besides resistance to fosfomycin, this inactivation also impairs the bacterial gluconeogenic pathway. Together with previous work showing that AR can be under metabolic control, our results provide evidence that AR is intertwined with the bacterial metabolism." @default.
