Oligoribonuclease Contributes to Tolerance to Aminoglycoside and ?-Lactam Antibiotics by Regulating KatA in Pseudomonas aeruginosa.


ABSTRACT: Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic bacterial pathogen and is intrinsically resistant to a variety of antibiotics. Oligoribonuclease (Orn) is a 3'-to-5' exonuclease that degrades nanoRNAs. The Orn controls biofilm formation by influencing the homeostasis of cyclic-di-GMP. Previously, we demonstrated that Orn contributes to the tolerance of P. aeruginosa to fluoroquinolone antibiotics by affecting the production of pyocins. In this study, we found that mutation in the orn gene reduces bacterial tolerance to aminoglycoside and ?-lactam antibiotics, which is mainly due to a defective response to oxidative stresses. The major catalase KatA is downregulated in the orn mutant, and overexpression of the katA gene restores the bacterial tolerance to oxidative stresses and the antibiotics. We further demonstrated that Orn influenced the translation of the katA mRNA and narrowed down the region in the katA mRNA that is involved in the regulation of its translation. Therefore, our results revealed a novel role of the Orn in bacterial tolerance to oxidative stresses as well as aminoglycoside and ?-lactam antibiotics.
