Abstract Background Efflux pump mediated antibiotic resistance is an unnoticed and undetected mechanism in clinical microbiology laboratory. RND efflux systems are known for aminoglycoside and tetracycline resistance whereas their role in carbapenem non-susceptibility is not established. The study was undertaken to investigate the role of efflux pump in providing resistance against carbapenems and their response against concentration gradient carbapenem stress on the transcriptional level of the AcrAB gene in the clinical isolates of Escherichia coli from a tertiary referral hospital of Northeast India. Results Out of 298 non-susceptible Escherichia coli isolates 98 isolates were found to have efflux pump mediated carbapenem non-susceptibility. Among them thirty-five were non carbapenemase producers and their expressional levels were verified using qRT-PCR under concentration gradient carbapenem stress. In this study, a strong correlation between ertapenem resistance and AcrA overexpression was observed which has not been reported previously. Further, it was observed that imipenem stress increased AcrB expression in Escherichia coli which holds the novelty of this study. Additionally, the transcription of AcrR was insistently increased which is much higher than the transcriptional level of AcrA under concentration gradient carbapenem stress condition. Conclusion The study established that AcrAB pump is a relevant antibiotic resistance determinant in bacterial pathogen, has an important role in developing resistance against carbapenem group of antibiotics. |
