Description
Summary:is a nosocomial pathogen and an important propagator of multidrug-resistant (MDR) and extensively drug-resistant (XDR) strains. Like other Gram-negative bacteria, they secrete outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) that distribute virulence and resistance factors. Here, we subjected a . -XDR to subinhibitory concentrations of meropenem, amikacin, polymyxin B, and a combination of these agents to evaluate changes in the protein cargo of OMVs through liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). Genome sequencing of the clinical isolate . strain HCD1 (KpHCD1) revealed the presence of 41 resistance genes and 159 virulence factors. We identified 64 proteins in KpHCD1-OMVs modulated with different antibiotic treatments involved in processing genetic information, environmental information, cell envelope formation, energy metabolism, and drug resistance. The OMV proteome expression profile suggests that OMVs may be associated with pathogenicity, survival, stress response, and resistance dissemination.
