| 8960 | 0 | 1.0000 | Pyraclostrobin induces multi-antibiotic resistance in Escherichia coli via quorum sensing: A new perspective. Antibiotic resistance seriously threatens to global public health, and non-antibiotic chemicals like pesticides can contribute to its development. Quorum sensing (QS) is an intercellular communication system that regulates group behavior and can potentially become a pathway for the development of antibiotic resistance. This study firstly discovered that exposure to pyraclostrobin at 0.5 mg/L activated QS, resulting in antibiotic resistance in Escherichia coli, with minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) increasing by up to 128-fold against tested antibiotics. Mechanistically, the high expression of the luxS gene induced by pyraclostrobin stress increased the level of the QS signal molecule (AI-2), leading to enhanced QS in antibiotic-resistant bacteria (ARB), thereby upregulating the expression of multidrug efflux pump genes (acrB and marA) and downregulating the expression of outer membrane porin genes (ompC and ompF). Meanwhile, using a QS inhibitor also increased the strains' antibiotic sensitivity. Additionally, pyraclostrobin exposure damaged cell membranes, induced oxidative stress, and caused gene mutations, further promoting multidrug resistance. Overall, the findings demonstrate that pyraclostrobin exposure can stimulate antibiotic resistance in Escherichia coli by activating QS and inducing gene mutations. Therefore, the rigorous application of fungicides is essential to retard the development of antibiotic resistance. | 2025 | 40544772 |
| 9162 | 1 | 0.9997 | Joint effects of antibiotics and quorum sensing inhibitors on resistance development in bacteria. Quorum sensing inhibitors (QSIs) are promising alternatives to antibiotics. While QSIs have great application potential in a variety of fields, their joint effects with antibiotics on bacteria, especially on antibiotic resistance mutations, remain largely unexplored. Herein, we report the joint effects of four commonly used antibiotics and two QSIs on bacterial growth and resistance mutations in E. coli. It was found that QSIs presented antagonistic or additive effects with antibiotics on bacterial growth, and more importantly, QSIs exhibited an attenuating effect on antibiotic-induced resistance mutations. Further analysis demonstrated that antibiotics might enhance resistance mutations by promoting the expressions of rpoS, lexA and recA, while QSIs attenuated the mutations by promoting the expressions of mutS and uvrD. The present research provides a comprehensive understanding of the joint effects of antibiotics and QSIs on bacteria, which may benefit the risk assessment of their combined exposure. | 2021 | 34060581 |
| 8961 | 2 | 0.9997 | Effect and mechanism of quorum sensing on horizontal transfer of multidrug plasmid RP4 in BAC biofilm. The widespread emergence of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in drinking water systems endangers human health, and may be exacerbated by their horizontal gene transfer (HGT) among microbiota. In our previous study, Quorum sensing (QS) molecules produced by bacteria from biological activated carbon (BAC) biofilms were demonstrated to influence the transfer efficiency of a model conjugative plasmid, here RP4. In this study, we further explored the effect and mechanism of QS on conjugation transfer. The results revealed that Acyl-homoserine lactones producing (AHL-producing) bacteria isolated from BAC biofilm play a role in the propagation of ARGs. We selected several quorum sensing inhibitors (QSIs) to study their effects on AHL-producing bacteria, including the formation of biofilm and the regulating effect on conjugation transfer. In addition, the possible molecular mechanisms for AHLs that promote conjugative transfer were attributable to enhancing the mRNA expression, which involved altered expressions of conjugation-related genes. We also found that QSIs could inhibit conjugative transfer by downregulating the conjugation-relevant genes. We believe that this is the first insightful exploration of the mechanism by which AHLs will facilitate and QSIs will inhibit the conjugative transfer of ARGs. These results provide creative insight into ARG pollution control that involves blocking QS during BAC treatment in drinking water systems. | 2020 | 31493577 |
| 8884 | 3 | 0.9996 | Regulatory Mechanisms of the LuxS/AI-2 System and Bacterial Resistance. The quorum-sensing (QS) system is an intercellular cell-cell communication mechanism that controls the expression of genes involved in a variety of cellular processes and that plays critical roles in the adaption and survival of bacteria in their environment. The LuxS/AI-2 QS system, which uses AI-2 (autoinducer-2) as a signal molecule, has been identified in both Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria. As one of the important global regulatory networks in bacteria, it responds to fluctuations in the numbers of bacteria and regulates the expression of a number of genes, thus affecting cell behavior. We summarize here the known relationships between the LuxS/AI-2 system and drug resistance, discuss the inhibition of LuxS/AI-2 system as an approach to prevent bacterial resistance, and present new strategies for the treatment of drug-resistant pathogens. | 2019 | 31383657 |
| 8975 | 4 | 0.9996 | Targeting bacterial biofilm-related genes with nanoparticle-based strategies. Persistent infection caused by biofilm is an urgent in medicine that should be tackled by new alternative strategies. Low efficiency of classical treatments and antibiotic resistance are the main concerns of the persistent infection due to biofilm formation which increases the risk of morbidity and mortality. The gene expression patterns in biofilm cells differed from those in planktonic cells. One of the promising approaches against biofilms is nanoparticle (NP)-based therapy in which NPs with multiple mechanisms hinder the resistance of bacterial cells in planktonic or biofilm forms. For instance, NPs such as silver (Ag), zinc oxide (ZnO), titanium dioxide (TiO(2)), copper oxide (Cu), and iron oxide (Fe(3)O(4)) through the different strategies interfere with gene expression of bacteria associated with biofilm. The NPs can penetrate into the biofilm structure and affect the expression of efflux pump, quorum-sensing, and adhesion-related genes, which lead to inhibit the biofilm formation or development. Therefore, understanding and targeting of the genes and molecular basis of bacterial biofilm by NPs point to therapeutic targets that make possible control of biofilm infections. In parallel, the possible impact of NPs on the environment and their cytotoxicity should be avoided through controlled exposure and safety assessments. This study focuses on the biofilm-related genes that are potential targets for the inhibition of bacterial biofilms with highly effective NPs, especially metal or metal oxide NPs. | 2024 | 38841057 |
| 8962 | 5 | 0.9996 | A Dietary Source of High Level of Fluoroquinolone Tolerance in mcr-Carrying Gram-Negative Bacteria. The emergence of antibiotic tolerance, characterized by the prolonged survival of bacteria following antibiotic exposure, in natural bacterial populations, especially in pathogens carrying antibiotic resistance genes, has been an increasing threat to public health. However, the major causes contributing to the formation of antibiotic tolerance and underlying molecular mechanisms are yet poorly understood. Herein, we show that potassium sorbate (PS), a widely used food additive, triggers a high level of fluoroquinolone tolerance in bacteria carrying mobile colistin resistance gene mcr. Mechanistic studies demonstrate that PS treatment results in the accumulation of intracellular fumarate, which activates bacterial two-component system and decreases the expression level of outer membrane protein OmpF, thereby reducing the uptake of ciprofloxacin. In addition, the supplementation of PS inhibits aerobic respiration, reduces reactive oxygen species production and alleviates DNA damage caused by bactericidal antibiotics. Furthermore, we demonstrate that succinate, an intermediate product of the tricarboxylic acid cycle, overcomes PS-mediated ciprofloxacin tolerance. In multiple animal models, ciprofloxacin treatment displays failure outcomes in PS preadministrated animals, including comparable survival and bacterial loads with the vehicle group. Taken together, our works offer novel mechanistic insights into the development of antibiotic tolerance and uncover potential risks associated with PS use. | 2023 | 37808177 |
| 8341 | 6 | 0.9996 | Mutagenesis and Resistance Development of Bacteria Challenged by Silver Nanoparticles. Because of their extremely broad spectrum and strong biocidal power, nanoparticles of metals, especially silver (AgNPs), have been widely applied as effective antimicrobial agents against bacteria, fungi, and so on. However, the mutagenic effects of AgNPs and resistance mechanisms of target cells remain controversial. In this study, we discover that AgNPs do not speed up resistance mutation generation by accelerating genome-wide mutation rate of the target bacterium Escherichia coli. AgNPs-treated bacteria also show decreased expression in quorum sensing (QS), one of the major mechanisms leading to population-level drug resistance in microbes. Nonetheless, these nanomaterials are not immune to resistance development by bacteria. Gene expression analysis, experimental evolution in response to sublethal or bactericidal AgNPs treatments, and gene editing reveal that bacteria acquire resistance mainly through two-component regulatory systems, especially those involved in metal detoxification, osmoregulation, and energy metabolism. Although these findings imply low mutagenic risks of nanomaterial-based antimicrobial agents, they also highlight the capacity for bacteria to evolve resistance. | 2022 | 36094196 |
| 8967 | 7 | 0.9996 | Distinct transcriptomic response of S. coelicolor to ciprofloxacin in a nutrient-rich environment. With the rising threat of anti-microbial resistance (AMR), there is an urgent need to enhance efficacy of existing antibiotics. Understanding the myriad mechanisms through which bacteria evade these drugs would be of immense value to designing novel strategies against them. Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2) M145 belongs to the actinomyctes species that are responsible for more than two-thirds of antibiotics. This group of bacteria therefore encodes for various mechanisms that can resist both endogenous and non-endogenous antibiotics. In an earlier study, we had studied the transcriptomic response of these bacteria to ciprofloxacin, when cultured in a minimal media. In this work, we investigate why the minimum inhibitory concentration of the drug increases by fourfold when the bacteria are grown in a nutrient-rich media. Through transcriptomic, biochemical, and microscopic studies, we show that S. coelicolor responds to ciprofloxacin in a concentration-dependent manner. While, sub-inhibitory concentration of the drug primarily causes oxidative stress, the inhibitory concentration of ciprofloxacin evokes a more severe genome-wide response in the cell, which ranges from the familiar upregulation of the SOS response and DNA repair pathways to the widespread alterations in the central metabolism pathway to accommodate the increased needs of nucleotides and other precursors. Further, the upregulation of peptidoglycan synthesis genes, along with microscopy images, suggest alterations in the cell morphology to increase fitness of the bacteria during the antibiotic stress. The data also points to the enhanced efflux activity in cells cultured in rich media that contributes significantly towards reducing intracellular drug concentration and thus promotes survival. | 2018 | 30327831 |
| 8965 | 8 | 0.9995 | Resistance characterization and transcriptomic analysis of imipenem-induced drug resistance in Escherichia coli. BACKGROUND: Bacteria can develop resistance to various antibiotics under selective pressure, leading to multifaceted changes in resistance mechanisms. Transcriptomic sequencing allows for the observation of transcriptional level alterations in cells under antibiotic stress. Understanding the bacterial response to such stress is essential for deciphering their strategy against drug-resistant antibiotics and identifying potential targets for antibiotic development. METHODS: This study using wild-type (WT) Escherichia coli (E. coli) discovered that continuous in vitro induction screening for imipenem-resistant strains resulted in bacteria with enhanced biofilm-forming ability and mutations in antibiotic target sites. Transcriptomic sequencing of the resistant bacteria revealed significant changes in carbon and amino acid metabolism, nutrient assimilation, substance transport, nucleotide metabolism, protein biosynthesis, and cell wall biosynthesis. The up-regulated drug efflux genes were disrupted using gene knockout technology. Drug sensitivity tests indicated that drug efflux has a minimal effect on imipenem resistance. RESULTS: This suggests a strategy for E. coli drug resistance involving the reduction of unnecessary substance synthesis and metabolism, coupled with an increase in activities that aid in resisting foreign threats. | 2024 | 39624129 |
| 9145 | 9 | 0.9995 | A mechanistic perspective on targeting bacterial drug resistance with nanoparticles. Bacterial infections are an important cause of mortality worldwide owing to the prevalence of drug resistant bacteria. Bacteria develop resistance against antimicrobial drugs by several mechanisms such as enzyme inactivation, reduced cell permeability, modifying target site or enzyme, enhanced efflux because of high expression of efflux pumps, biofilm formation or drug-resistance gene expression. New and alternative ways such as nanoparticle (NP) applications are being established to overcome the growing multidrug-resistance in bacteria. NPs have unique antimicrobial characteristics that make them appropriate for medical application to overcome antibiotic resistance. The proposed antibacterial mechanisms of NPs are cell membrane damage, changing cell wall penetration, reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, effect on DNA and proteins, and impact on biofilm formation. The present review mainly focuses on discussing various mechanisms of bacterial drug resistance and the applications of NPs as alternative antibacterial systems. Combination therapy of NPs and antibiotics as a novel approach in medicine towards antimicrobial resistance is also discussed. | 2021 | 33703979 |
| 9146 | 10 | 0.9995 | Emergence of microbial resistance against nanoparticles: Mechanisms and strategies. Antimicrobial nanoparticles have gained the status of a new generation of drugs that can kill bacterial pathogens by multiple means; however, nanoparticle resistance acquired by some bacterial pathogens has evoked a cause of concern. Several reports suggested that bacteria can develop nanoparticles, specifically metal nanoparticle resistance, by mechanisms: nanoparticle transformation-induced oxidative stress, membrane alterations, reversible adaptive resistance, irreversible modifications to cell division, and a change in bacterial motility and resistance. Surface properties, concentration and aggregation of nanoparticles, biofilm forming and metal exclusion capacity, and R plasmid and flagellin synthesis by bacteria are crucial factors in the development of nanoparticle resistance in bacteria. Studies reported the resistance reversal by modifying the surface corona of nanoparticles or inhibiting flagellin production by bacterial pathogens. Furthermore, strict regulation regarding the use and disposal of nano-waste across the globe, the firm knowledge of microbe-nanoparticle interaction, and the regulated disposal of nanoparticles in soil and water is required to prevent microbes from developing nanoparticle resistance. | 2023 | 36778867 |
| 8879 | 11 | 0.9995 | Global metabolic regulation in Vibrio parahaemolyticus under polymyxin B stimulation. Vibrio parahaemolyticus is responsible for infection diseases of people who consume the contaminated seafood, but its metabolic regulation profile in response to colistin, the last treatment option for multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria, remains unclear. In this study, the metabolic regulation profile of V. parahaemolyticus ATCC33846 under polymyxin B stimulation has been investigated. V. parahaemolyticus exposed to polymyxin B resulted in 4597 differentially transcribed genes, including 673 significantly up-regulated genes and 569 significantly down-regulated genes. In V. parahaemolyticus under polymyxin B stimulation, the cellular antioxidant systems to prevent bacteria from oxidant stress was activated, the synthesis of some nonessential macromolecules was reduced, and the assembly and modification of lipopolysaccharide and peptidoglycan to resist the attack from other antibiotics were promoted. These findings provide new insights into polymyxin B-related stress response in V. parahaemolyticus which should be useful for developing novel drugs for infection. | 2021 | 34688850 |
| 8983 | 12 | 0.9995 | Chlorine disinfectants promote microbial resistance in Pseudomonas sp. The substantial use of disinfectants has increased antibiotic resistance, thereby mediating serious ecological safety issues worldwide. Accumulating studies have reported the role of chlorine disinfectants in promoting disinfectant resistance. The present study sought to investigate the role of chlorine disinfectants in developing multiple resistance in Pseudomonas sp. isolated from the river through antioxidant enzyme measurement, global transcriptional analyses, Gene Ontology (GO), and the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analysis. The results demonstrated that 100 mg/L sodium hypochlorite could increase disinfectant resistance and antibiotic resistance. The SOS response (a conserved response to DNA damage) triggered by oxidative stress makes bacteria resistant to chlorine. An increase in antibiotic resistance could be attributed to a decreased membrane permeability, increased expression of MuxABC-OpmB efflux pump, beta-lactamase, and antioxidant enzymes. Additionally, KEGG enrichment analysis suggested that the differentially expressed genes were highly enriched in the metabolic pathways. In summary, the study results revealed the impact of chlorine disinfectants in promoting microbial disinfectant resistance and antibiotic resistance. This study will provide insight into disinfectant resistance mechanisms. | 2021 | 34010624 |
| 9119 | 13 | 0.9995 | Bacterial Multidrug Efflux Pumps at the Frontline of Antimicrobial Resistance: An Overview. Multidrug efflux pumps function at the frontline to protect bacteria against antimicrobials by decreasing the intracellular concentration of drugs. This protective barrier consists of a series of transporter proteins, which are located in the bacterial cell membrane and periplasm and remove diverse extraneous substrates, including antimicrobials, organic solvents, toxic heavy metals, etc., from bacterial cells. This review systematically and comprehensively summarizes the functions of multiple efflux pumps families and discusses their potential applications. The biological functions of efflux pumps including their promotion of multidrug resistance, biofilm formation, quorum sensing, and survival and pathogenicity of bacteria are elucidated. The potential applications of efflux pump-related genes/proteins for the detection of antibiotic residues and antimicrobial resistance are also analyzed. Last but not least, efflux pump inhibitors, especially those of plant origin, are discussed. | 2022 | 35453271 |
| 8343 | 14 | 0.9995 | Bacterial Stress Responses as Potential Targets in Overcoming Antibiotic Resistance. Bacteria can be adapted to adverse and detrimental conditions that induce general and specific responses to DNA damage as well as acid, heat, cold, starvation, oxidative, envelope, and osmotic stresses. The stress-triggered regulatory systems are involved in bacterial survival processes, such as adaptation, physiological changes, virulence potential, and antibiotic resistance. Antibiotic susceptibility to several antibiotics is reduced due to the activation of stress responses in cellular physiology by the stimulation of resistance mechanisms, the promotion of a resistant lifestyle (biofilm or persistence), and/or the induction of resistance mutations. Hence, the activation of bacterial stress responses poses a serious threat to the efficacy and clinical success of antibiotic therapy. Bacterial stress responses can be potential targets for therapeutic alternatives to antibiotics. An understanding of the regulation of stress response in association with antibiotic resistance provides useful information for the discovery of novel antimicrobial adjuvants and the development of effective therapeutic strategies to control antibiotic resistance in bacteria. Therefore, this review discusses bacterial stress responses linked to antibiotic resistance in Gram-negative bacteria and also provides information on novel therapies targeting bacterial stress responses that have been identified as potential candidates for the effective control of Gram-negative antibiotic-resistant bacteria. | 2022 | 35889104 |
| 8981 | 15 | 0.9995 | Response mechanisms of different antibiotic-resistant bacteria with different resistance action targets to the stress from photocatalytic oxidation. The stress response of antibiotic-resistant bacteria (ARB) and the spread of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) pose a serious threat to the aquatic environment and human beings. This study mainly explored the effect of the heterogeneous photocatalytic oxidation (UVA-TiO(2) system) on the stress response mechanism of ARB with different antibiotic resistance action targets, including the cell wall, proteins, DNA, RNA, folate and the cell membrane. Results indicate that the stress response mechanism of tetracycline- and sulfamethoxazole-resistant E. coli DH5α, which targets the synthesis of protein and folate, could rapidly induce global regulators by the overexpression of relative antibiotic resistance action target genes. Different stress response systems were mediated via cross-protection mechanism, causing stronger tolerance to an adverse environment than other ARB. Moreover, the photocatalytic inactivation mechanism of bacterial cells and a graded response of cellular stress mechanism caused differences in the intensity of the stress mechanism of antibiotic resistance action targets. E. coli DH5α resistant to cefotaxime and polymyxin, targeting synthesis of the cell wall and cell membrane, respectively, could confer greater advantages to bacterial survival and higher conjugative transfer frequency than E. coli DH5α resistant to nalidixic acid and rifampicin, which target the synthesis of DNA and RNA, respectively. This new perspective provides detailed information on the practical application of photocatalytic oxidation for inactivating ARB and hampering the spreading of ARGs in the aquatic environment. | 2022 | 35453030 |
| 8968 | 16 | 0.9995 | Antibiotic stress, genetic response and altered permeability of E. coli. BACKGROUND: Membrane permeability is the first step involved in resistance of bacteria to an antibiotic. The number and activity of efflux pumps and outer membrane proteins that constitute porins play major roles in the definition of intrinsic resistance in Gram-negative bacteria that is altered under antibiotic exposure. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: Here we describe the genetic regulation of porins and efflux pumps of Escherichia coli during prolonged exposure to increasing concentrations of tetracycline and demonstrate, with the aid of quantitative real-time reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction methodology and western blot detection, the sequence order of genetic expression of regulatory genes, their relationship to each other, and the ensuing increased activity of genes that code for transporter proteins of efflux pumps and down-regulation of porin expression. CONCLUSIONS/SIGNIFICANCE: This study demonstrates that, in addition to the transcriptional regulation of genes coding for membrane proteins, the post-translational regulation of proteins involved in the permeability of Gram-negative bacteria also plays a major role in the physiological adaptation to antibiotic exposure. A model is presented that summarizes events during the physiological adaptation of E. coli to tetracycline exposure. | 2007 | 17426813 |
| 8970 | 17 | 0.9995 | Transcriptomic Analyses to Unravel Cronobacter sakazakii Resistance Pathways. The proliferation of antibiotic usage has precipitated the emergence of drug-resistant variants of bacteria, thereby augmenting their capacity to withstand pharmaceutical interventions. Among these variants, Cronobacter sakazakii (C. sakazakii), prevalent in powdered infant formula (PIF), poses a grave threat to the well-being of infants. Presently, global contamination by C. sakazakii is being observed. Consequently, research endeavors have been initiated to explore the strain's drug resistance capabilities, alterations in virulence levels, and resistance mechanisms. The primary objective of this study is to investigate the resistance mechanisms and virulence levels of C. sakazakii induced by five distinct antibiotics, while concurrently conducting transcriptomic analyses. Compared to the susceptible strains prior to induction, the drug-resistant strains exhibited differential gene expression, resulting in modifications in the activity of relevant enzymes and biofilm secretion. Transcriptomic studies have shown that the expression of glutathione S-transferase and other genes were significantly upregulated after induction, leading to a notable enhancement in biofilm formation ability, alongside the existence of antibiotic resistance mechanisms associated with efflux pumps, cationic antimicrobial peptides, and biofilm formation pathways. These alterations significantly influence the strain's resistance profile. | 2024 | 39272551 |
| 8909 | 18 | 0.9995 | Nanoalumina triggers the antibiotic persistence of Escherichia coli through quorum sensing regulators lrsF and qseB. Nanomaterials with bactericidal effects might provide novel strategies against bacteria. However, some bacteria can survive despite the exposure to nanomaterials, which challenges the safety of antibacterial nanomaterials. Here, we used a high dose of antibiotics to kill the E. coli. that survived under different concentrations of nanoalumina treatment to screen persisters, and found that nanoalumina could significantly trigger persisters formation. Treatment with 50 mg/L nanoalumina for 4 h resulted in the formation of (0.084 ± 0.005) % persisters. Both reactive oxygen species (ROS) and toxin-antitoxin (TA) system were involved in persisters formation. Interestingly, RT-PCR analysis and knockout of the five genes related to ROS and TA confirmed that only hipB was associated with the formation of persisters, suggesting the involvement of other mechanisms. We further identified 73 differentially expressed genes by transcriptome sequencing and analyzed them with bioinformatics tools. We selected six candidate genes and verified that five of them closely related to quorum sensing (QS) that were involved in persisters formation, and further validated that the coexpression of QS factors lrsF and qseB was a novel pathway for persisters. Our findings provided a better understanding on the emergence of bacterial persistence and the microbial behavior under nanomaterials exposure. | 2022 | 35739728 |
| 9106 | 19 | 0.9995 | tRNA methylation: An unexpected link to bacterial resistance and persistence to antibiotics and beyond. A major threat to public health is the resistance and persistence of Gram-negative bacteria to multiple drugs during antibiotic treatment. The resistance is due to the ability of these bacteria to block antibiotics from permeating into and accumulating inside the cell, while the persistence is due to the ability of these bacteria to enter into a nonreplicating state that shuts down major metabolic pathways but remains active in drug efflux. Resistance and persistence are permitted by the unique cell envelope structure of Gram-negative bacteria, which consists of both an outer and an inner membrane (OM and IM, respectively) that lay above and below the cell wall. Unexpectedly, recent work reveals that m(1) G37 methylation of tRNA, at the N(1) of guanosine at position 37 on the 3'-side of the tRNA anticodon, controls biosynthesis of both membranes and determines the integrity of cell envelope structure, thus providing a novel link to the development of bacterial resistance and persistence to antibiotics. The impact of m(1) G37-tRNA methylation on Gram-negative bacteria can reach further, by determining the ability of these bacteria to exit from the persistence state when the antibiotic treatment is removed. These conceptual advances raise the possibility that successful targeting of m(1) G37-tRNA methylation can provide new approaches for treating acute and chronic infections caused by Gram-negative bacteria.
