Antibiotic Killing of Diversely Generated Populations of Nonreplicating Bacteria
Copyright © 2019 McCall et al..
Nonreplicating bacteria are known to be (or at least commonly thought to be) refractory to antibiotics to which they are genetically susceptible. Here, we explore the sensitivity to killing by bactericidal antibiotics of three classes of nonreplicating populations of planktonic bacteria: (i) stationary phase, when the concentration of resources and/or nutrients are too low to allow for population growth; (ii) persisters, minority subpopulations of susceptible bacteria surviving exposure to bactericidal antibiotics; and (iii) antibiotic-static cells, bacteria exposed to antibiotics that prevent their replication but kill them slowly if at all, the so-called bacteriostatic drugs. Using experimental populations of Staphylococcus aureus Newman and Escherichia coli K-12 (MG1655) and, respectively, nine and seven different bactericidal antibiotics, we estimated the rates at which these drugs kill these different types of nonreplicating bacteria. In contrast to the common belief that bacteria that are nonreplicating are refractory to antibiotic-mediated killing, all three types of nonreplicating populations of these Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria are consistently killed by aminoglycosides and the peptide antibiotics daptomycin and colistin, respectively. This result indicates that nonreplicating cells, irrespectively of why they do not replicate, have an almost identical response to bactericidal antibiotics. We discuss the implications of these results to our understanding of the mechanisms of action of antibiotics and the possibility of adding a short-course of aminoglycosides or peptide antibiotics to conventional therapy of bacterial infections.
