Constrained evolutionary paths to macrolide resistance in aNeisseriacommensal converge on ribosomal genes through sequence duplication

Abstract: Neisseria commensals are an indisputable source of resistance for their pathogenic relatives; however, the evolutionary paths commensal species take to reduced susceptibility in this genus have been relatively underexplored. Here, we leverage in vitro selection as a powerful screen to identify the genetic adaptations that produce azithromycin resistance (≤ 2 μg/mL) in the Neisseria commensal, N. elongata. Across multiple lineages (n=7/16), we find mutations encoding resistance converge on the gene encoding the… Show more

“…After overnight incubation at 36°C at 5 (v/v)% CO2, the MIC was noted. A standard loopful of culture (5 mm) was taken from the margin of growth from the most resistant colonies, following the protocol of Wadsworth et al (Balduck et al, 2022;Raisman et al, 2022). This growth was then suspended in PBS and re-inoculated on a fresh BD BBLTM Chocolate II agar plate (GC Choc) and a new doxycycline E-test was placed.…”
