Genome-Wide Screening and Characterization of Genes Involved in Response to High Dose of Ciprofloxacin in Escherichia coli

The global emergence of antibiotic resistance, especially in Gram-negative bacteria, is an urgent threat to public health. Inevitably, considering its extensive use and misuse, resistance toward ciprofloxacin has increased in almost all clinically relevant bacteria. This study aimed to investigate the transcriptome changes at a high concentration of ciprofloxacin in Escherichia coli. In brief, 1,418 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified, from which 773 genes were upregulated by ciprofloxacin, whereas 651 genes were downregulated. Enriched biological pathways reflected the upregulation of biological processes such as DNA damage and repair system, toxin/antitoxin systems, formaldehyde detoxification system. With kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes pathway analysis, higher expressed DEGs were associated with "LPS biosynthesis," "streptomycin biosynthesis," and "polyketide sugar unit biosynthesis." Lower expressed DEGs were associated with "biosynthesis of amino acids" and "flagellar assembly" pathways. After treatment of ciprofloxacin, lipopolysaccharide (LPS) release was increased by two times, and the gene expression level of LPS synthesis was elevated (p < 0.05) in both reference and clinical strains. Our results demonstrated that transient exposure to high-dose ciprofloxacin is a double-edged sword. Cautions should be taken when administering high-dose antibiotic treatment for infectious diseases.
