Protection of Escherichia coli from Isoniazid Inhibition

Abstract: Inhibition of Escherichia coli by isonicotinic acid hydrazide (isoniazid) is a function of the initial cell concentration, concentration of antibiotic, and chemical composition of the medium. An initial concentration of 5 × 10 5 cells/ml in a minimal medium is inhibited by 1 mM isoniazid. The E. coli cells are protected from this inhibitory effect by a high concentration of cells in the medium. Protection is also obtained from vitamin-free… Show more

“…Although the MOA is still unclear, the peroxidative activation of isoniazid by the mycobacterial enzyme KatG forms potent inhibitors of lipid and nucleic acid biosynthesis, as well as inducing oxidative stress [53]. Regardless, its inhibitory effect on E. coli has long been reported as being dependent on the initial cell concentration, antibiotic concentration, and medium composition [54], and experimentally confirmed (Table 1). Apparently, the metabolic fingerprint detected with FTIR spectroscopy more closely reflects the inhibition of DNA biosynthesis; however, further validation of this observation is required.…”

“…The activity of the isoniazid reported here disagrees a bit with that of Ladishav et al, though different strains of organisms were used. There has been some activity of isoniazid previously reported against E. coli and Staphylococcus aureus [27,28].…”
