Tion, have been downregulated. Two enzymes, succinate dehydrogenase and fumarate reductase, catalyze the interconversion of succinate to fumarate. sdhA, sdhC, and sdhD are 1.five, 3.three, and 2.9fold downregulated upon amoxicillin exposure, respectively. This corroborates a partial replacement of succinate dehydrogenase by fumarate reductase (42). The expression of the transporter gene dcuC, that is responsible for the uptake of C4dicarboxylates, such as fumarate, below anaerobic circumstances, elevated 3fold upon amoxicillin exposure. Genes involved in acid and salt resistance (gadABC, gadE, gadWX, hdeAB, and evgAS) (43, 44) have been much less expressed in resistant cells than inside the wild kind (Table three).

These genomic alterations contain 250 inframe mutations, whereas 125 genetic alterations resulted in amino acid substitutions. Inside the outofframe regions, 589 mutations had been discovered. Only a couple of genes that had mutations within the upstream noncoding area ( 1,000 bp) or coding area showed considerably diverse expression in the presence and/or absence of amoxicillin (Table 4). In E. coli, the promoter region of ampC is embedded inside the coding sequence in the frd operon located upstream (45). Based on the selection criteria, amoxicillinresistant cells had or did not have an adenine insertion at nucleotide position 351 inside the frdD gene (a 13 insertion inside the amp.
