Abstract

Background: The mechanisms and patterns of drug resistances of E. coli strains that cause uncomplicated urinary tract infections (UTIs) vary considerably. The emerging herbresistance of uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) has been a serious health problem, yet with unknown underlying mechanisms. Methods: To explore the potential herb-resistance mechanisms of E. coli strains that cause uncomplicated UTIs, three clinically isolated herb-resistant UPEC strains (1351, 4996, 5028) were analyzed for their abilities to form biofilms and the expressions of the pga ABCD and luxS genes. Results: We found that the expression of pgaA and pgaB are very different between 1351 and 5028, and the loss-offunction of luxS in 4996 has impact on biofilm formation. Conclusions: 1. Herb-resistance of the strains is related to their abilities of biofilm formation. 2. Biofilm formation capabilities of herb-resistant strains show different responses to the presence of glucose. 3. luxS encoded AI-2 is not essential for biofilm formation in this strain but may help with more biofilm formation.

耐药菌株具有不同的生物膜形成能力和不同生物膜相关基因的表达

背景:引起非复杂性尿路感染(UTIs)的大肠杆菌菌株的耐药机制和模式差异很大。尿路致病性大肠杆菌(UPEC)的出现已成为一个严重的健康问题，但其潜在机制尚不清楚。方法:为探讨引起非复杂性uti的大肠杆菌的潜在耐药机制，对临床分离的3株UPEC耐药菌株(1351、4996、5028)进行了生物膜形成能力及pga ABCD和luxS基因的表达分析。结果:我们发现pgaA和pgaB的表达在1351和5028之间有很大差异，而luxS在4996中的功能缺失对生物膜的形成有影响。结论:1。菌株的抗药能力与其形成生物膜的能力有关。2. 耐药菌株的生物膜形成能力对葡萄糖的存在表现出不同的反应。3.luxS编码的AI-2对该菌株的生物膜形成不是必需的，但可能有助于更多生物膜的形成。
