Type(s) of Resistant Mechanism of This Drug

  DISM: Drug Inactivation by Structure Modification

  IDUE: Irregularity in Drug Uptake and Drug Efflux

Drug Resistance Data Categorized by Their Corresponding Diseases

ICD-01: Infectious/parasitic diseases

Bacterial infection [ICD-11: 1A00-1C4Z]

Drug Resistance Data Categorized by Their Corresponding Mechanisms

Drug Inactivation by Structure Modification (DISM)

Key Molecule: Beta-lactamase (BLA) [5]

• Molecule Alteration: Expression; Inherence
• Resistant Disease: Rhodobacter sphaeroides infection [ICD-11: 1A00-1C4Z]
• Experimental Note: Discovered Using In-vivo Testing Model
• In Vitro Model: Rhodopseudomonas sphaeroides strain DSM 160(Y); 1063
• In Vitro Model: Rhodopseudomonas sphaeroides strain DSM158; 1063
• In Vitro Model: Rhodopseudomonas sphaeroides strain DSM159; 1063
• Experiment for Molecule Alteration: Sodium dodecyl sulfate-PAGE assay
• Experiment for Drug Resistance: MIC assay
• Mechanism Description: Thirteen strains of the gram-negative, facultative phototrophic bacterium Rhodobacter sphaeroides were examined fro susceptibility to beta-lactam antibiotics. All strains were sensitive to the semisynthetic penicillins ampicillin, carbenicillin, oxacillin, cloxacillin, and methicillin, but 10 of the 13 strains were resistant to penicillin G, as well as a number of cephalosporins, such as cephalothin, cephapirin, and cephalosporin C. A beta-lactamase (EC 3.5.2.6) with strong cephalosporinase activity was detected in all of the resistant strains of R. sphaeroides. With strain Y-1 as a model, it was shown that the beta-lactamase was inducible by penicillin G, cephalosporin C, cephalothin, and to some minor extent, cephapirin.

Melioidosis [ICD-11: 1C42]

Drug Resistance Data Categorized by Their Corresponding Mechanisms

Irregularity in Drug Uptake and Drug Efflux (IDUE)

Key Molecule: Outer membrane porin (OMP38) [1], [2]

• Molecule Alteration: Expression; Up-regulation
• Resistant Disease: Melioidosis [ICD-11: 1C42.0]
• Experimental Note: Identified from the Human Clinical Data
• In Vitro Model: Escherichia coli; 668369
• In Vitro Model: Escherichia coli BL21(DE3); 469008
• In Vitro Model: Burkholderia pseudomallei isolates; 28450
• Experiment for Molecule Alteration: Whole genome sequence assay
• Experiment for Drug Resistance: Broth microdilution method assay
• Mechanism Description: Bps is highly resistant to many antimicrobial agents and this resistance may result from the low drug permeability of outer membrane proteins, known as porins.An Escherichia coli strain defective in most porins, but expressing BpsOmp38, exhibited considerably lower antimicrobial susceptibility than the control strain. In addition, mutation of Tyr119, the most prominent pore-lining residue in BpsOmp38, markedly altered membrane permeability, substitution with Ala (mutant BpsOmp38Y119A) enhanced uptake of the antimicrobial agents, while substitution with Phe (mutant BpsOmp38Y119F) inhibited uptake.

ICD-12: Respiratory system diseases

Pneumonia [ICD-11: CA40]

Drug Resistance Data Categorized by Their Corresponding Mechanisms

Irregularity in Drug Uptake and Drug Efflux (IDUE)

Key Molecule: Bcr/CflA family efflux transporter (BCML) [3]

• Molecule Alteration: Expression; Inherence
• Resistant Disease: Klebsiella pneumoniae infection [ICD-11: CA40.1]
• Experimental Note: Identified from the Human Clinical Data
• In Vitro Model: Escherichia coli DH10B; 316385
• In Vitro Model: Escherichia coli strain NCTC 50192; 562
• In Vitro Model: Klebsiella pneumoniae strain ORI-1; 573
• Experiment for Molecule Alteration: PCR and hybridization experiments assay
• Experiment for Drug Resistance: Agar dilution technique assay
• Mechanism Description: Klebsiella pneumoniae ORI-1 strain harbored a ca. 140-kb nontransferable plasmid, pTk1, that conferred an extended-spectrum cephalosporin resistance profile antagonized by the addition of clavulanic acid, tazobactam, or imipenem. The gene for GES-1 (Guiana extended-spectrum beta-lactamase) was cloned, and its protein was expressed in Escherichia coli DH10B, where this pI-5. 8 beta-lactamase of a ca. 31-kDa molecular mass conferred resistance to oxyimino cephalosporins (mostly to ceftazidime). GES-1 is weakly related to the other plasmid-located Ambler class A extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBLs).

Key Molecule: Bcr/CflA family efflux transporter (BCML) [3]

• Molecule Alteration: Expression; Acquired
• Resistant Disease: Klebsiella pneumoniae infection [ICD-11: CA40.1]
• Experimental Note: Identified from the Human Clinical Data
• In Vitro Model: Escherichia coli DH10B; 316385
• In Vitro Model: Escherichia coli strain NCTC 50192; 562
• In Vitro Model: Klebsiella pneumoniae strain ORI-1; 573
• Experiment for Molecule Alteration: PCR and hybridization experiments assay
• Experiment for Drug Resistance: Agar dilution technique assay
• Mechanism Description: Beta-Lactam MICs for k. pneumoniae ORI-1 and Escherichia coli DH10B harboring either the natural plasmid pTk1 or the recombinant plasmid pC1 were somewhat similar and might indicate the presence of an ESBL. In all cases, the ceftazidime MICs were higher than those of cefotaxime and aztreonam. Beta-Lactam MICs were always lowered by the addition of clavulanic acid or tazobactam, less so by sulbactam, and uncommonly by imipenem.

Drug Sensitivity Data Categorized by Their Corresponding Mechanisms

Irregularity in Drug Uptake and Drug Efflux (IDUE)

Key Molecule: Bcr/CflA family efflux transporter (BCML) [3]

• Molecule Alteration: Expression; Antagonism
• Sensitive Disease: Klebsiella pneumoniae infection [ICD-11: CA40.1]
• Experimental Note: Identified from the Human Clinical Data
• In Vitro Model: Escherichia coli DH10B; 316385
• In Vitro Model: Escherichia coli strain NCTC 50192; 562
• In Vitro Model: Klebsiella pneumoniae strain ORI-1; 573
• Experiment for Molecule Alteration: PCR and hybridization experiments assay
• Experiment for Drug Resistance: Agar dilution technique assay
• Mechanism Description: Inhibition studies, as measured by IC50 values with benzylpenicillin as the substrate, showed that GES-1 was inhibited by clavulanic acid (5 uM) and tazobactam (2.5 uM) and strongly inhibited by imipenem (0.1 uM). Beta-Lactam MICs were always lowered by the addition of clavulanic acid or tazobactam, less so by sulbactam, and uncommonly by imipenem.
