タイトル Mechanism of Polyhexamethylene Biguanide Resistance in Purpureocillium lilacinum Strains.
ジャーナル Biocontrol Sci
Abstract Purpureocillium lilacinum has been recently found to contaminate a 20% (200,000 μg/mL) aqueous solution of polyhexamethylene biguanide hydrochloride (PHMB) . We aimed to elucidate the mechanism underlying the resistance of P. lilacinum to PHMB. First, we induced the PHMB-resistant (IR) strains IFM 67050 (IR) and IFM 65838 (IR) from the type strain P. lilacinum CBS 284.36T via cultivation in a medium containing high concentrations of PHMB. We then analyzed the DNA sequences via Illumina sequencing to evaluate the presence of genetic mutations in IFM 65838 (IR) . Further, we established an IFM 65838 (IR) uridine/uracil auxotrophic strain, and using the orotidine-5'-decarboxylase gene, pyrG as a selection marker, we tried to knockout a mutant gene in IFM 65838 (IR) using the CRISPR-Cas9 genome-editing technique. The growth rates of IFM 67050 (IR) and IFM 65838 (IR) in medium containing PHMB increased, and the minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) against PHMB also increased. Based on the DNA sequence analysis, we found a nonsynonymous point mutation in the gene PLI-008146 (G779A) in IFM 67050 (IR) and IFM 65838 (IR) . This point mutation leads to site combinations of splicing changes that cause partial sequences deletion (p.Y251_G281del) in the ΔPLI-008146 locus of IFM 65838 (IR) , and deletion sequences include partial adenosine/AMP deaminase motif (PF00962) orthologous to adenosine deaminase (ADA) (GeneBank: OAQ82383.1) . Furthermore, the mutant gene ΔPLI-008146 was successfully knocked out from the resistanceinduced strain using a novel CRISPR-Cas9 gene transformation method. A considerable reduction in growth rate and MIC against PHMB was observed in the absence of the mutant gene. Therefore, ADA may represent an important resistance factor in PHMB-resistant P. lilacinum.
