The molecular reasons for this extraordinary tolerance are still incompletely understood. Previous work showed that resistance to killing collapsed specifically in mutants affected in superoxide dismutase (Sod) activity, arguing that bactericidal antibiotic treatment led to induction of a superoxide burst. In the present work, we show that loss of antibiotic tolerance in \u0394\n                    <jats:italic>sodA<\/jats:italic>\n                    mutants of pathogenic enterococci is dependent on the energy source present during antibiotic treatment. Hexoses induce greater killing than the pentose ribose, and no killing was observed with glycerol as the energy source. These results point to glycolytic reactions as crucial for antibiotic-mediated killing of \u0394\n                    <jats:italic>sodA<\/jats:italic>\n                    mutants.

Partially restored tolerance was observed in mutants with transposon integrations into intergenic regions upstream of regulators implicated in arginine catabolism. In these mutants, the arginine deiminase operon was highly upregulated. A model for the action of cell wall-active antibiotics in tolerant and nontolerant bacteria is proposed.\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    <jats:bold>IMPORTANCE<\/jats:bold>\n                    Antibiotic tolerance is a serious clinical concern, since tolerant bacteria have considerably increased abilities to resist killing by bactericidal drugs. Using enterococci as models for highly antibiotic-tolerant pathogens, we showed that tolerance of these bacteria is linked to their superoxide dismutase (Sod), arguing that bactericidal antibiotics induce generation of reactive oxygen species inside cells. Wild-type strains are tolerant because they detoxify these deleterious molecules by the activity of Sod, whereas Sod-deficient strains are killed. This study showed that killing depends on the energy source present during treatment and that an increase in arginine catabolism partially restored tolerance of the Sod mutants. These results are used to propose a mode-of-action model of cell wall-active antibiotics in tolerant and nontolerant bacteria.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1128\/jb.00389-15","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,8,10]],"date-time":"2015-08-10T22:09:22Z","timestamp":1439244562000},"page":"3283-3293","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1128\/asmj-crossmark-policy-page","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":25,"title":["Loss of Antibiotic Tolerance in Sod-Deficient Mutants Is Dependent on the Energy Source and Arginine Catabolism in Enterococci"],"prefix":"10.1128","volume":"197","author":[{"given":"Rabia","family":"Ladjouzi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Universit\u00e9 de Caen Basse-Normandie, EA4655 U2RM-Stress et Virulence, Caen, France"},{"name":"Universit\u00e9 de Bejaia, FSNV, Laboratoire d'Ecologie Microbienne, Bejaia, Algeria"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alain","family":"Bizzini","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universit\u00e9 de Caen Basse-Normandie, EA4655 U2RM-Stress et Virulence, Caen, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Willem","family":"van Schaik","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medical Microbiology, University Medical Center Utrecht, Utrecht, The Netherlands"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xinglin","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medical Microbiology, University Medical Center Utrecht, Utrecht, The Netherlands"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alain","family":"Rinc\u00e9","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universit\u00e9 de Caen Basse-Normandie, EA4655 U2RM-Stress et Virulence, Caen, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Abdellah","family":"Benachour","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universit\u00e9 de Caen Basse-Normandie, EA4655 U2RM-Stress et Virulence, Caen, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Axel","family":"Hartke","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universit\u00e9 de Caen Basse-Normandie, EA4655 U2RM-Stress et Virulence, Caen, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"235","reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_3_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1161\/CIRCULATIONAHA.105.165564"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2369","DOI":"10.1093\/eurheartj\/ehp285","article-title":"Guidelines on the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of infective endocarditis (new version 2009): the Task Force on the Prevention, Diagnosis, and Treatment of Infective Endocarditis of the European Society of Cardiology (ESC).
