Mutations in pmrB Confer Cross-Resistance between the LptD Inhibitor POL7080 and Colistin in Pseudomonas aeruginosa

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a major bacterial pathogen associated with a rising prevalence of antibiotic resistance. We evaluated the resistance mechanisms of P. aeruginosa against POL7080, a species-specific, first-in-class antibiotic in clinical trials that targets the lipopolysaccharide transport p...

description Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a major bacterial pathogen associated with a rising prevalence of antibiotic resistance. We evaluated the resistance mechanisms of P. aeruginosa against POL7080, a species-specific, first-in-class antibiotic in clinical trials that targets the lipopolysaccharide transport protein LptD. We isolated a series of POL7080-resistant strains with mutations in the two-component sensor gene pmrB. Transcriptomic and confocal microscopy studies support a resistance mechanism shared with colistin, involving lipopolysaccharide modifications that mitigate antibiotic cell surface binding.
