Multidrug resistance efflux pumps frequently present low levels of basal expression. However, antibiotic-resistant mutants that overexpress these resistance determinants are selected during infection. In addition, increased expression of efflux pumps can be induced by environmental signals/cues, which can lead to situations of transient antibiotic resistance. In this study, we have applied a novel high-throughput methodology in order to identify inducers able to trigger the expression of the SmeVWX and SmeYZ efflux pumps. To that end, bioreporters in which the expression of the yellow fluorescent protein (YFP) is linked to the activity of either or promoters were developed and used for the screening of potential inducers of the expression of these efflux pumps using Biolog phenotype microarrays. YFP production was also measured by flow cytometry, and the levels of expression of and in the presence of a set of selected compounds were also determined by real-time reverse transcription-PCR (RT-PCR). The expression of was induced by iodoacetate, clioquinol, and selenite, while boric acid, erythromycin, chloramphenicol, and lincomycin triggered expression. The susceptibility to antibiotics that are known substrates of the efflux pumps decreased in the presence of the inducers. However, the analyzed multidrug efflux systems did not contribute to resistance to the studied inducers. To sum up, the use of fluorescent bioreporters in combination with Biolog plates is a valuable tool for identifying inducers of the expression of bacterial multidrug resistance efflux pumps, and likely of other bacterial systems whose expression is regulated in response to signals/cues.
