摘要: Riemerella anatipestifer is a Gram-negative bacterium, which is an important pathogen infecting ducks and resistant to various antibiotics. The efflux pump is an important resistance mechanism of Gram-negative bacteria, but lithe research has been done in R. anatipestifer. In this study, the drug resistance mediated by RIA_1614 gene of R. anatipestifer RA-GD strain was studied, because the gene was presumed to be an efflux pump component of ABC. Firstly, the deletion strain RA-GD Delta RIA_1614 and complemented strain RA-GD Delta RIA_1614 pCPRA::RIA_1614 were constructed. Then, MICs of various antimicrobial agents to parent and deletion strains and the tolerance of the strains to organic solvents were detected to screen the substrates for RIA_1614 gene. Moreover, the transcription levels of RIA_1614 gene in the parent and the complemented strains exposed to the substrates were detected by quantitative real-time RT-PCR. Furthermore, the efflux abilities of parent, deletion and complemented strains to substrates were determined by antibiotic accumulation test. In addition, in vitro competition ability and virulence of the strains were also detected. The results showed that the deletion strain was more sensitive to aminoglycosides and organic solvents than parental strain RA-GD. When RA-GD and complemented strain were exposed to sub-repression levels of aminoglycosides and organic solvents, the transcription levels of RIA_1614 gene were significantly up-regulated. Sodium o-vanadate inhibitor assay confirmed that RIA_1614 protein contributed to amikacin and streptomycin resistance and organic solvent tolerance. Streptomycin accumulation test showed that the RIA_1614 protein was able to export streptomycin, and the addition of ATPase inhibitor sodium o-vanadate increased the accumulation of streptomycin, indicating that RIA_1614 protein was an ATP-dependent efflux transporter. Growth and competition experiments revealed that RIA_1614 protein had no significant effect on growth of RA-GD, but decreased in vitro competition ability of the strain. Furthermore, pathogenicity tests showed that RIA_1614 protein involved in the virulence of the strain. Based on the results and amino acid sequence analysis, it was determined that RIA_1614 protein was a member of ABC efflux pumps, and the protein was named RanB.
