Co-trimoxazole (SXT) is a combination therapeutic that consists of sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim that is increasingly used to treat skin and soft-tissue infections caused by methicillin-resistant (MRSA). However, the use of SXT is limited to the treatment of low-burden, superficial infections and its therapeutic value is compromised by the frequent emergence of resistance. As a first step towards the identification of approaches to enhance the efficacy of SXT, we examined the role of bacterial DNA repair in antibiotic susceptibility and mutagenesis. We found that mutants lacking the DNA repair complex RexAB had a modest 2-fold lower SXT MIC than wild-type strains but were killed 50-5000-fold more efficiently by the combination antibiotic at the breakpoint concentration. SXT-mediated DNA damage occurred via both thymidine limitation and the generation of reactive oxygen species, and triggered induction of the SOS response in a RexAB-dependent manner. SOS induction was associated with a 50% increase in the mutation rate, which may contribute to emergence of resistant strains during SXT therapy. In summary, this work determined that SXT caused DNA damage in via both thymidine limitation and oxidative stress, which was repaired by the RexAB complex, leading to induction of the mutagenic SOS response. Small molecule inhibitors of RexAB could therefore have therapeutic value by increasing the efficacy of SXT and decreasing the emergence of drug-resistance during treatment of infections caused by .
