Antibiotic susceptibility profile of Mycobacterium avium subspecies hominissuis is altered in low-iron conditionsKopinč, Rok ; Lapanje, AlešObjectives: Antibiotic susceptibility testing of the Mycobacterium avium complex is often characterized by a lack of correlation between in vitro results and clinical response. The reason for this ... discrepancy might lie in the difference between in vitro susceptibility testing conditions and the actual environment experienced by mycobacteria in the host. The availability of iron is one such difference, which is limited in host macrophages upon infection, but abundant in susceptibility testing media. Accordingly, the aimof our study was to determine whether iron limitation affects the antibiotic susceptibility profile of M. avium subspecies hominissuis. Methods:Susceptibilities to multiple antibiotics targeting various cellular processes were determined in media with normal- and low-iron concentrations using the resazurin microplate assay. Differences in susceptibilities were evaluated by monitoring changes in the MIC and growth inhibition at subinhibitory antibiotic concentrations (sub-MICs). Results: Cultures grown inlow-iron conditions were less susceptible to the DNA synthesis inhibitors 6-mercaptopurine and levofloxacin at sub-MICs. Decreased susceptibility to theprotein synthesis inhibitors azithromycin (>2-fold) and streptomycin (at sub-MICs) was observed only during adaptation to low-iron conditions. On the contrary, increased susceptibility to antibiotics that interfere with cell wall synthesis šisoniazid (4-fold), d-cycloserine (2-fold) and ethambutol (at sub-MICs)đ, mycobactin synthesis š4-aminosalicylate (at sub-MICs)đ and mRNA synthesis šrifampicin (4-fold)đ was observed in low-iron conditions. Conclusion: The susceptibility profile in low-iron conditions significantly differs from that observed in normal-iron conditions.
