Permeability of Pseudomonas aeruginosa outer membrane to hydrophilic solutes

Open access

Abstract

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is usually resistant to a wide variety of antibacterial agents, and it has been inferred, on the basis of indirect evidence, that this was due to the low permeability of its outer membrane. We determined the permeability of P. aeruginosa outer membrane directly, by measuring the rates of hydrolysis of cephacetrile, cephaloridine, and various phosphate esters by hydrolytic enzymes located in the periplasm. The permeability to these compounds was about 100-fold lower than in the outer membrane of Escherichia coli K-12. Also, we found that the apparent Km values for active transport of various carbon and energy source compounds were typically higher than 20 microM in P. aeruginosa, in contrast to E. coli in which the values are usually lower than 5 microM. These results also are consistent with the notion that the P. aeruginosa outer membrane indeed has a low permeability to most hydrophilic compounds and that this membrane acts as a rate limiting step in active transport processes with high Vmax values.

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.
