Bacteria are involved in numerous interactions during infection and among host-associated microbial populations.Salmonella entericaserovar Typhimurium is a foodborne pathogen of great importance as well as a model organism to study interactions within a microbial community. In this study, we found thatS. Typhimurium becomes tolerant to azithromycin when co-cultured with strains ofLactobacillus. Similarly, acidified media, from cell-free supernatant ofLactobacilluscultures for instance, also induced the tolerance ofS. Typhimurium to azithromycin. The addition of membrane disruptors restored the normal sensitivity to azithromycin in acidified media, but not whenLactobacilluswas present. These results suggested that the acidification of the media led to modification in envelope homeostasis, but that a different mechanism promoted the tolerance to azithromycin in the presence ofLactobacillusstrains. To further understand howLactobacillusstrains modify the sensitivity ofS. Typhimurium to azithromycin, a high-throughput assay was carried using the single gene deletion collection of theS. Typhimurium (1) in coculture withL. rhamnosusand (2) in sterile acidic conditions (pH 5.5 media only). As expected, both screens identified genes involved in envelope homeostasis and membrane permeability. Our results also suggest that changes in the metabolism ofS. Typhimurium induce the tolerance observed in the presence ofL. rhamnosus. Our results thus highlight two different mechanisms by whichLactobacillusstrains induce tolerance ofS. Typhimurium to antibiotics.ImportanceThis study provides valuable insights into the intricate interactions between bacteria during infections and within host-associated microbial communities. Specifically, it sheds light on the significant role ofLactobacillusstrains in inducing antibiotic tolerance inSalmonella entericaserovar Typhimurium, a critical foodborne pathogen and model organism for microbial community studies. The findings not only uncover the mechanisms underlying this antibiotic tolerance but also reveal two distinct pathways through whichLactobacillusstrains might influenceSalmonella’s response to antibiotics. Understanding these mechanisms has the potential to enhance our knowledge of bacterial infections and may have implications for the development of strategies to combat antibiotic resistance in pathogens likeSalmonella. Furthermore, our results underscore the necessity to explore beyond the direct antimicrobial effects of antibiotics, emphasizing the broader microbial community context.
