    Abstract Background: Nitrofurantoin has been re-introduced as a first-choice antibiotic to treat uncomplicated acute urinary tract infections in England and Wales. Highly effective against common uropathogens such as Escherichia coli, its use is accompanied by a low incidence (<10%) of antimicrobial resistance. Resistance to nitrofurantoin is predominantly via the acquisition of loss-of-function, step-wise mutations in the nitroreductase genes nfsA and nfsB.
    Objective: To explore the in situ evolution of NitR in E. coli isolates from 17 patients participating in AnTIC, a 12-month open label randomized controlled trial assessing the efficacy of antibiotic prophylaxis in reducing urinary tract infections (UTIs) incidence in clean intermittent self-catheterizing patients.
    Methods: The investigation of NitR evolution in E. coli used general microbiology techniques and genetics to model known NitR mutations in NitSE. coli strains.
    Results: Growth rate analysis identified a 2%-10% slower doubling time for nitrofurantoin resistant strains: NitS: 20.8 ± 0.7 min compared to NitR: 23 ± 0.8 min. Statistically, these data indicated no fitness advantage of evolved strains compared to the sensitive predecessor (P-value = 0.13). Genetic manipulation of E. coli to mimic NitR evolution, supported no fitness advantage (P-value = 0.22). In contrast, data argued that a first-step mutant gained a selective advantage, at sub-MIC (4-8 mg/L) nitrofurantoin concentrations.
    Conclusion: Correlation of these findings to nitrofurantoin pharmacokinetic data suggests that the low incidence of E. coli NitR, within the community, is driven by urine-based nitrofurantoin concentrations that selectively inhibit the growth of E. coli strains carrying the key first-step loss-of-function mutation.

    Abstract The bacterial flagellar type III export apparatus utilizes ATP and proton motive force (PMF) to transport flagellar proteins to the distal end of the growing flagellar structure for self-assembly. The transmembrane export gate complex is a H+-protein antiporter, of which activity is greatly augmented by an associated cytoplasmic ATPase complex. Here, we report that the export gate complex can use sodium motive force (SMF) in addition to PMF across the cytoplasmic membrane to drive protein export. Protein export was considerably reduced in the absence of the ATPase complex and a pH gradient across the membrane, but Na+ increased it dramatically. Phenamil, a blocker of Na+ translocation, inhibited protein export. Overexpression of FlhA increased the intracellular Na+ concentration in the presence of 100 mM NaCl but not in its absence, suggesting that FlhA acts as a Na+ channel. In wild-type cells, however, neither Na+ nor phenamil affected protein export, indicating that the Na+ channel activity of FlhA is suppressed by the ATPase complex. We propose that the export gate by itself is a dual fuel engine that uses both PMF and SMF for protein export and that the ATPase complex switches this dual fuel engine into a PMF-driven export machinery to become much more robust against environmental changes in external pH and Na+ concentration.

    Abstract The flagellum is a rotary motor that enables bacteria to swim in liquids and swarm over surfaces. Numerous global regulators control flagellar assembly in response to cellular and environmental factors. Previous studies have also shown that flagellar assembly is affected by the growth-rate of the cell. However, a systematic study has not yet been described under controlled growth conditions. Here, we investigated the effect of growth rate on flagellar assembly in Escherichia coli using steady-state chemostat cultures where we could precisely control the cell growth-rate. Our results demonstrate that flagellar abundance correlates with growth rate, where faster growing cells produce more flagella. They also demonstrate that this growth-rate dependent control occurs through the expression of the flagellar master regulator, FlhD
