- W4321493483 abstract "Integrons are mobile genetic elements that have played an important role in the dissemination of antibiotic resistance. Under stress, the integron can generate combinatorial variation in resistance cassette expression by cassette reshuffling, accelerating the evolution of resistance. However, the flexibility of the integron integrase site recognition motif hints at potential off-target effects of the integrase on the rest of the genome that may have important evolutionary consequences. Here, we test this hypothesis by selecting for increased-piperacillin-resistance populations of Pseudomonas aeruginosa with a mobile integron containing a difficult-to-mobilize β-lactamase cassette to minimize the potential for adaptive cassette reshuffling. We found that integron activity can decrease the overall survival rate but also improve the fitness of the surviving populations. Off-target inversions mediated by the integron accelerated plasmid adaptation by disrupting costly conjugative genes otherwise mutated in control populations lacking a functional integrase. Plasmids containing integron-mediated inversions were associated with lower plasmid costs and higher stability than plasmids carrying mutations albeit at the cost of a reduced conjugative ability. These findings highlight the potential for integrons to create structural variation that can drive bacterial evolution, and they provide an interesting example showing how antibiotic pressure can drive the loss of conjugative genes. IMPORTANCE Tackling the public health challenge created by antibiotic resistance requires understanding the mechanisms driving its evolution. Mobile integrons are widespread genetic platforms heavily involved in the spread of antibiotic resistance. Through the action of the integrase enzyme, integrons allow bacteria to capture, excise, and shuffle antibiotic resistance gene cassettes. This integrase enzyme is characterized by its ability to recognize a wide range of recombination sites, which allows it to easily capture diverse resistance cassettes but which may also lead to off-target reactions with the rest of the genome. Using experimental evolution, we tested the off-target impact of integron activity. We found that integrons increased the fitness of the surviving bacteria through extensive genomic rearrangements of the plasmids carrying the integrons, reducing their ability to spread horizontally. These results show that integrons not only accelerate resistance evolution but also can generate extensive structural variation, driving bacterial evolution beyond antibiotic resistance." @default.
