NorM, an Erwinia amylovora Multidrug Efflux Pump Involved in In Vitro Competition with Other Epiphytic Bacteria

Abstract: Blossoms are important sites of infection for Erwinia amylovora, the causal agent of fire blight of rosaceous plants. Before entering the tissue, the pathogen colonizes the stigmatic surface and has to compete for space and nutrient resources within the epiphytic community. Several epiphytes are capable of synthesizing antibiotics with which they antagonize phytopathogenic bacteria. Here, we report that a multidrug efflux transporter, designated NorM, of E. amylovora confers tolerance to the toxin(s) produced … Show more

“…Similarly, expression of Burkholderia vietnamiensis NorM in an E. coli acrAB mutant strain complemented its hypersensitivity to norfloxacin (11). Thus, H. pylori HP1184 encodes a NorM homolog that actively extrudes ethidium bromide in vitro, similar to the homolog found in other bacteria (7,11,20). However, the H. pylori HP1184-knockout mutant was not more susceptible to norfloxacin, indicating a difference in substrate specificity.…”

“…Transformation of a hypersensitive E. coli strain with V. parahaemolyticus norM conferred resistance to norfloxacin and ethidium bromide, and elevated efflux of ethidium bromide was observed (20). In Erwinia amylovora NorM mediates resistance to hydrophobic cationic compounds like norfloxacin and ethidium bromide (7). Similarly, expression of Burkholderia vietnamiensis NorM in an E. coli acrAB mutant strain complemented its hypersensitivity to norfloxacin (11).…”

“…sepedonicus, which forms bacterial aggregates embedded in an exopolymetric matrix and attaches to the walls of xylem vessels of potato plants (7,28). Colonization of the xylem vessels is also central in the systemic spread of gram-negative phytopathogens such as Erwinia amylovora (4,26). Furthermore, D. solani, a member of the SRE, has also been shown to utilize xylem vessels to systemically colonize potato plant tissues following root, stem, and leaf infection.…”

“…Many multidrug efflux pumps in Gram-negative bacteria like E. coli, K. pneumoniae, and E. cloacae are controlled by special regulatory systems that mediate responses to hostile environments (37). In addition, studies of Gram-negative efflux pumps revealed that the expression of several transporters of the RND (resistance-nodulation-division) family of multidrug (MDR) transporters were induced by and transported cellular metabolites as part of the bacterial cell physiology (38)(39)(40). Since Tet38 conferred resistance to fatty acids, a natural host defense component, we observed the effects of certain lipids on the gene expression levels of tet38 and its regulators tetR21 and mgrA.…”
