Glutaraldehyde resistance mechanisms in Pseudomonas fluorescens and Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilms


ABSTRACT: The objective of the current study was to understand the glutaraldehyde resistance mechanisms in P. fluorescens and P. aeruginosa biofilms. Glutaraldehyde is a common biocide used in various industries to control the microbial growth. Recent reports of emergence of glutaraldehyde resistance in several bacterial species motivated this study to understand the genetic factors responsible got glutaraldehyde resistance. Using a combination of phenotypic assays, chemical genetic assays and RNA-seq, we demonstrate that novel efflux pump, polyamine biosynthesis, lipid biosynthesis and phosphonate degradation play significant role in glutaraldehyde resistance and post-glutaraldehyde recovery of Psudomonad biofilms. Examination of P. fluorescens 72 h biofilm transcriptome was elucidated upon exposure to glutaraldehyde. The results were confirmed using qRT--PCR and chemical genetic appraoches in P. fluorescens and P. aeruginosa.

A major challenge in microbial biofilm control is biocide resistance. Phenotypic adaptations and physical protective effects have been historically thought to be the primary mechanisms for glutaraldehyde resistance in bacterial biofilms. Recent studies indicate the presence of genetic mechanisms for glutaraldehyde resistance, but very little is known about the contributory genetic factors. Here, we demonstrate that efflux pumps contribute to glutaraldehyde resistance in Pseudomonas fluorescens a  ...[more]
