dc.description.abstract | Poor penetration through the outer membrane (OM) of Gram-negative bacteria is a major barrier of antibiotic development. While β-lactam antibiotics are commonly used against Klebsiella pneumoniae and Enterobacter cloacae, there are limited data on OM permeability especially in K. pneumoniae. Here, we developed a novel cassette assay, which can simultaneously quantify the OM permeability to five β-lactams in carbapenem-resistant K. pneumoniae and E. cloacae. Both clinical isolates harbored a blaKPC-2 and several other β-lactamases. The OM permeability of each antibiotic was studied separately (“discrete assay”) and simultaneously (“cassette assay”) by determining the degradation of extracellular β-lactam concentrations via multiplex liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry analyses. Our K. pneumoniae isolate was polymyxin resistant, whereas the E. cloacae was polymyxin susceptible. Imipenem penetrated the OM at least 7-fold faster than meropenem for both isolates. Imipenem penetrated E. cloacae at least 258-fold faster and K. pneumoniae 150-fold faster compared to aztreonam, cefepime, and ceftazidime. For our β-lactams, OM permeability was substantially higher in the E. cloacae compared to the K. pneumoniae isolate (except for aztreonam). This correlated with a higher OmpC porin production in E. cloacae, as determined by proteomics. The cassette and discrete assays showed comparable results, suggesting limited or no competition during influx through OM porins. This cassette assay allowed us, for the first time, to efficiently quantify the OM permeability of multiple β-lactams in carbapenem-resistant K. pneumoniae and E. cloacae. Characterizing the OM permeability presents a critical contribution to combating the antimicrobial resistance crisis and enables us to rationally optimize the use of β-lactam antibiotics. | en |
