Bacterial persisters comprise a small fraction of phenotypically heterogeneous variants with transient capability for survival when exposed to high concentrations of antibiotic. In aquatic pathogenic bacteria Aeromonas veronii, Small Protein B (SmpB), the core factor of trans-translation system, was identified as a new persistence-related gene. The SmpB deletion exhibited a higher susceptibility and lower persister cell formation under aminoglycosides antibiotics pressure compared with wild type. The transcriptional and translational activities of smpB gene were significantly enhanced by the gentamicin challenge in exponential phase, but not changed in stationary phase. The transcriptomic analysis revealed that the smpB deletion stimulated the production of proton-motive force (PMF). The cell survival induced by carbonyl cyanide m-chlorophenyl hydrazone (CCCP) further verified that SmpB variation affected the quantities of PMF. Taken together, these results uncovered a novel mechanism of persister formation mediated by SmpB under aminoglycosides treatments.

D000070079 Aeromonas veronii A species of Aeromonas that occurs mostly as single cells in soil and freshwater environments. It also inhabits the digestive tract of the leech HIRUDO MEDICINALIS, where it aids in the digestion of blood and prevents colonization by other bacteria. It is pathogenic in fish and potentially in humans who consume infected fish or immunocompromised patients receiving LEECH THERAPY.
