RpoS-independent evolution reveals the importance of attenuated cAMPCRP regulation in high hydrostatic pressure resistance acquisition in E. coli
Resumen: High hydrostatic pressure (HHP) processing is an attractive non-thermal alternative to food pasteurization. Nevertheless, the large inter- and intra-species variations in HHP resistance among foodborne pathogens and the ease by which they can acquire extreme resistance are an issue of increasing concern. Since RpoS activity has been considered as a central determinant in the HHP resistance of E. coli and its pathovars, this study probed for the potential of an E. coli MG1655 ΔrpoS mutant to acquire HHP resistance by directed evolution. Despite the higher initial HHP sensitivity of the ΔrpoS mutant compared to the wild-type strain, evolved lineages of the former readily managed to restore or even succeed wild-type levels of resistance. A number of these ΔrpoS derivatives were affected in cAMP/CRP regulation, and this could be causally related to their HHP resistance. Subsequent inspection revealed that some of previously isolated HHP-resistant mutants derived from the wild-type strain also incurred a causal decrease in cAMP/CRP regulation. cAMP/CRP attenuated HHP-resistant mutants also exhibited higher resistance to fosfomycin, a preferred treatment for STEC infections. As such, this study reveals attenuation of cAMP/CRP regulation as a relevant and RpoS-independent evolutionary route towards HHP resistance in E. coli that coincides with fosfomycin resistance.
