Abstract

Significance: Efflux-based drug resistance complicates the treatment of infectious diseases and cancers. Cellular exposure to ecological toxins or reactive metabolites may influence the conservation and activity of efflux pumps. Yet, for most such systems, we know very little about their natural substrates and the signals controlling pump expression. Using diverse approaches, including a chip-based method of electrochemical detection, we show that the endogenous and reactive antibiotic 5-methylphenazine-1-carboxylate (5-Me-PCA) is transported by the efflux pump MexGHI-OpmD in Pseudomonas aeruginosa . Furthermore, we demonstrate that 5-Me-PCA activates expression of its cognate transporter and that it is required for normal P. aeruginosa biofilm morphogenesis. Our results provide insight into mechanisms of self-resistance and determinants of multicellular behavior in this major cause of biofilm-based infections.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
