Loss of β-Ketoacyl Acyl Carrier Protein Synthase III Activity Restores Multidrug-Resistant Escherichia coli Sensitivity to Previously Ineffective Antibiotics

Abstract: Gram-negative pathogens are a major concern for global public health due to increasing rates of antibiotic resistance and the lack of new drugs. A major contributing factor toward antibiotic resistance in Gram-negative bacteria is their formidable outer membrane, which acts as a permeability barrier preventing many biologically active antimicrobials from reaching the intracellular targets and thus limiting their efficacy.

“…Reduction in membrane permeability is the leading cause of MDR to XDR in S. Typhi. , The antibiotics with a molecular weight (MW) around 600 Da can breach the outer membrane (OM) of Gram-negative organisms. In contrast, other drugs such as vancomycin (1449 Da) and daptomycin (1620 Da) have a MW above 1000 Da and have to pass through the bacterial cell wall through outer membrane proteins (OMPs) . OMPs such as OmpA, OmpF, OmpX, and LamB are critical barriers to the passage of small-size hydrophilic particles. , The hydrophilic class of antibiotics (β-lactams, aminoglycosides, etc.)…”

“…The bacteria Escherichia coli and Streptococcus aureus have several crucial enzymes that can serve as drug targets, particularly β-ketoacyl-ACP synthase from Escherichia coli and TyrRS from Streptococcus aureus . β-ketoacyl-acyl carrier protein (ACP) synthases are the key regulators of fatty acid synthesis in Escherichia coli [ 15 , 16 ]. β-ketoacyl-ACP synthase is involved in condensation reactions during fatty acid biosynthesis [ 16 ].…”
