ABSTRACT Staphylococcus lugdunensis is a coagulase-negative Staphylococcus that emerges as an important opportunistic pathogen. However, little is known about the regulation underlying the transition from commensal to virulent state. Based on knowledge of S. aureus virulence, we suspected that the agr quorum sensing system may be an important determinant for the pathogenicity of S. lugdunensis. We investigated the functions of the transcriptional regulator AgrA using the agrA deletion mutant. AgrA played a role in cell pigmentation: ΔargA mutant colonies were white while the parental strains were slightly yellow. Compared with the wild-type strain, the ΔargA mutant was affected in its ability to form biofilm and was less able to survive in mice macrophages. Moreover, the growth of ΔagrA was significantly reduced by the addition of 10% NaCl or 0.4 mM H2O2 and its survival after 2 h in the presence of 1 mM H2O2 was more than 10-fold reduced. To explore the mechanisms involved beyond these phenotypes, the ΔagrA proteome and transcriptome were characterized by mass spectrometry and RNA-Seq. We found that AgrA controlled several virulence factors as well as stress-response factors, which are well correlated with the reduced resistance of the ΔagrA mutant to osmotic and oxidative stresses. These results were not the consequence of the deregulation of RNAIII of the agr system, since no phenotype or alteration of the proteomic profile has been observed for the ΔRNAIII mutant. Altogether, our results highlighted that the AgrA regulator of S. lugdunensis played a key role in its ability to become pathogenic. IMPORTANCE Although belonging to the natural human skin flora, Staphylococcus lugdunensis is recognized as a particularly aggressive and destructive pathogen. This study aimed to characterize the role of the response regulator AgrA, which is a component of the quorum-sensing agr system and known to be a major element in the regulation of pathogenicity and biofilm formation in Staphylococcus aureus. In the present study, we showed that, contrary to S. aureus, the agrA deletion mutant produced less biofilm. Inactivation of agrA conferred a white colony phenotype and impacted S. lugdunensis in its ability to survive in mice macrophages and to cope with osmotic and oxidative stresses. By global proteomic and transcriptomic approaches, we identified the AgrA regulon, bringing molecular bases underlying the observed phenotypes. Together, our data showed the importance of AgrA in the opportunistic pathogenic behavior of S. lugdunensis allowing it to be considered as an interesting therapeutic target.

Antimicrobial susceptibility testing of anaerobes is challenging. Because MIC determination is recommended by both CLSI and EUCAST, commercial broth microdilution and diffusion strip tests have been developed. The reliability of broth microdilution methods has not been assessed yet using the agar dilution reference method. In this work, we evaluated two broth microdilution kits (MICRONAUT-S Anaerobes® MIC and Sensititre Anaerobe MIC®) and one gradient diffusion strip method (Liofilchem®) for antimicrobial susceptibility testing of 47 Clostridiales isolates (Clostridium, Clostridioides and Hungatella species) using the agar dilution method as a reference. The evaluation focused on comparing six antimicrobial molecules available in both microdilution kits. Analytical performances were evaluated according to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recommendations. Essential agreements (EA) and categorical agreements (CA) varied greatly according to the molecule and the evaluated method. Vancomycin had values of essential and categorical agreements above 90% for the three methods. The CA fulfilled the FDA criteria for three major molecules in the treatment of Gram-positive anaerobic infections (metronidazole, piperacillin/tazobactam and vancomycin). The highest rate of error was observed for clindamycin. Multicenter studies are needed to further validate these results.

Typhoidal and para-typhoidal Salmonella are major causes of bacteraemia in resource-limited countries. Diagnostic alternatives to laborious and resource-demanding serotyping are essential. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIRS) is a rapidly developing and simple bacterial typing technology. In this study, we assessed the discriminatory power of the FTIRS-based IR Biotyper (Bruker Daltonik GmbH, Bremen, Germany), for the rapid and reliable identification of biochemically confirmed typhoid and paratyphoid fever-associated Salmonella isolates. In total, 359 isolates, comprising 30 S. Typhi, 23 S. Paratyphi A, 23 S. Paratyphi B, and 7 S. Paratyphi C, respectively and other phylogenetically closely related Salmonella serovars belonging to the serogroups O:2, O:4, O:7 and O:9 were tested. The strains were derived from clinical, environmental and food samples collected at different European sites. Applying artificial neural networks, specific automated classifiers were built to discriminate typhoidal serovars from non-typhoidal serovars within each of the four serogroups. The accuracy of the classifiers was 99.9%, 87.0%, 99.5% and 99.0% for Salmonella Typhi, Salmonella Paratyphi A, B and Salmonella Paratyphi C, respectively. The IR Biotyper is a promising tool for fast and reliable detection of typhoidal Salmonella. Hence, IR biotyping may serve as a suitable alternative to conventional approaches for surveillance and diagnostic purposes.

- Abstract
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is one of the leading causes of healthcare-associated infections. For this study, the susceptibility profiles to antipseudomonal antibiotics and a quaternary ammonium compound, didecyldimethylammonium chloride (DDAC), widely used as a disinfectant, were established for 180 selected human and environmental hospital strains isolated between 2011 and 2020. Furthermore, a genomic study was performed to determine their resistome and clonal putative relatedness. During the ten-year study period, it was estimated that 9.5% of clinical P. aeruginosa were resistant to carbapenem, 11.9% presented an MDR profile, and 0.7% an XDR. Decreased susceptibility (DS) to DDAC was observed for 28.0% of strains that was significantly more associated with MDR and XDR profiles and from hospital environmental samples (p P. aeruginosa population unsusceptible to carbapenems and/or to DDAC was diverse but mainly belonged to top ten high-risk clones described worldwide. The carbapenem resistance appeared mainly due to the production of the VIM-2 carbapenemase (39.3%) and DS to DDAC mediated by MexAB-OprM pump efflux overexpression. This study highlights the diversity of MDR/XDR populations of P. aeruginosa which are unsusceptible to molecules that are widely used in medicine and hospital disinfection and are probably distributed in hospitals worldwide.

Background: Salmonella enterica is among the major burdens for public health at global level. Typing of salmonellae below the species level is fundamental for different purposes, but traditional methods are expensive, technically demanding, and time-consuming, and therefore limited to reference centers. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy is an alternative method for bacterial typing, successfully applied for classification at different infra-species levels.Aim: This study aimed to address the challenge of subtyping Salmonella enterica at O-serogroup level by using FTIR spectroscopy. We applied machine learning to develop a novel approach for S. enterica typing, using the FTIR-based IR Biotyper® system (IRBT; Bruker Daltonics GmbH & Co. KG, Germany). We investigated a multicentric collection of isolates, and we compared the novel approach with classical serotyping-based and molecular methods.Methods: A total of 958 well characterized Salmonella isolates (25 serogroups, 138 serovars), collected in 11 different centers (in Europe and Japan), from clinical, environmental and food samples were included in this study and analyzed by IRBT. Infrared absorption spectra were acquired from water-ethanol bacterial suspensions, from culture isolates grown on seven different agar media. In the first part of the study, the discriminatory potential of the IRBT system was evaluated by comparison with reference typing method/s. In the second part of the study, the artificial intelligence capabilities of the IRBT software were applied to develop a classifier for Salmonella isolates at serogroup level. Different machine learning algorithms were investigated (artificial neural networks and support vector machine). A subset of 88 pre-characterized isolates (corresponding to 25 serogroups and 53 serovars) were included in the training set. The remaining 870 samples were used as validation set. The classifiers were evaluated in terms of accuracy, error rate and failed classification rate.Results: The classifier that provided the highest accuracy in the cross-validation was selected to be tested with four external testing sets. Considering all the testing sites, accuracy ranged from 97.0% to 99.2% for non-selective media, and from 94.7% to 96.4% for selective media.Conclusions: The IRBT system proved to be a very promising, user-friendly, and cost-effective tool for Salmonella typing at serogroup level. The application of machine learning algorithms proved to enable a novel approach for typing, which relies on automated analysis and result interpretation, and it is therefore free of potential human biases. The system demonstrated a high robustness and adaptability to routine workflows, without the need of highly trained personnel, and proving to be suitable to be applied with isolates grown on different agar media, both selective and unselective. Further tests with currently circulating clinical, food and environmental isolates would be necessary before implementing it as a potentially stand-alone standard method for routine use.

International audience; Aquaculture is a fast growing industry with its development hampered by bacterial diseases. Vibriosis caused byHarveyi clade strains is known for causing heavy loss especially in shrimp aquaculture farms. For farm treatmentand pathogen spread management, veterinarians and researchers need reliable bacterial identification tools. Arange of identification methods have been presented for Vibrio spp. in recent literature but little feedback on theirperformance have been made available to this day.This study aims at comparing Vibrio spp. identification methods and providing guidance on their use.Fifty farms were sampled and bacterial colonies were isolated using specific culture media before microscopicanalysis and genomic profiling using ERIC-PCR. A preliminary identification step was carried out using MALDIToFmass spectrometry. Four methods were compared for strain identification on 14 newly isolated Harveyiclade Vibrio spp. strains: whole genome sequencing (digital DNA DNA Hybridization (dDDH)), 5 MLSA schemes,ferric uptake regulation (fur) and lecithin-dependent haemolysin (ldh) single gene based identification methods.Apart from dDDH which is a reference method, no technique could identify all the isolates to the species level.The other tested techniques allowed a faster, cheaper but sub genus clade identification which can be interestingwhen absolute precision is not required. In this regard, MALDI-ToF and fur based identification seemed especiallypromising.

International audience; Objectives: The aim of the study was to characterize phenotypically and genotypically an uncommon mechanism of resistance to macrolides, lincosamides, and streptogramins (MLS) in a Streptococcus milleri group clinical isolate.Materials and Methods: The isolate UCN96 was recovered from an osteoradionecrosis wound, and was identified using the matrix assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometry and the partial sequencing of the sodA gene. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing were carried out by the disk diffusion method and minimal inhibitory concentrations (MICs) were determined by the broth microdilution technique. PCR screening was performed for MLS resistance genes described in Gram-positive bacteria. Specific mutations in the ribosomal proteins L3-, L4-, and L22-encoding genes were also screened and those in domain V of the 23S rRNA gene (rrl). The number of mutated copies of the rrl gene was determined using amplification-refractory mutation system quantitative-polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) analysis.Results: The clinical isolate UCN96 was unambiguously identified as Streptococcus constellatus. It was susceptible to all macrolides and lincosamides (ML) antibiotics except spiramycin (MIC >256 mg/L) while it was also resistant to streptogramins. Screening for all acquired resistance genes was negative and no mutation was found in genes coding for L3, L4, and L22 ribosomal proteins. Of interest, a single mutation, A2062C (according to Escherichia coli numbering), was detected in the domain V of 23S rRNA.Conclusion: Mutations at the position 2062 of 23S rRNA have been detected once in Streptococcus pneumoniae, and not yet in other Streptococcus spp. This mechanism is very likely uncommon in Gram-positive bacteria because different copies of 23S rRNA operons should be mutated for development of such a resistance pattern.

International audience; Enterococcus faecium has become a major opportunistic pathogen with the emergence of vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE). As part of the gut microbiota, they have to cope with numerous stresses including effects of antibiotics and other xenobiotics, especially in patients hospitalized in intensive care units (ICUs) who receive many medications. The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of the most prescribed xenobiotics for ICU patients on fitness, pathogenicity and antimicrobial resistance of the vanB-positive E. faecium Aus0004 reference strain. Several phenotypic analyses were carried out and we observed that caspofungin, an antifungal agent belonging to the echinocandins family, had an important effect on E. faecium growth in vitro. We confirmed this effect by electron microscopy and peptidoglycan analysis and showed that, even at a subinhibitory concentration (¼ × MIC, 8 mg/L), caspofungin had an impact on cell wall organization especially in abundance of some muropeptide precursors. By RNA-seq, it was also shown that around 20% of the transcriptome were altered in the presence of caspofungin with 321 and 259 significantly upregulated and downregulated genes, respectively. Since the fungal target of caspofungin (i.e., beta-(1,3)-glucan synthase) was absent in bacteria, the mechanistic pathway of caspofungin activity was investigated. The repression of genes involved in the pyruvate metabolism seemed to have a drastic impact on bacterial cell viability while decrease of glycerol metabolism could explain the conformational modifications of peptidoglycan. This is the first report of caspofungin antibacterial activity against E. faecium, highlighting the potential impact of non-antibiotic xenobiotics against bacterial pathogens.

Prevalence of fosfomycin resistance in E. coli clinical isolates from UTIs remains very low. Our hypothesis was that fosfomycin resistance may be associated with a biological cost. Three groups of strains of E. coli belonging to the B2 phylogenetic group were used: clinical wild-type (WT) isolates, clinical multidrug-resistant isolates and in vitro fosfomycin-resistant derivatives from the uropathogen clinical strain E. coli CFT073. In each group fosfomycin-susceptible and -resistant isolates were compared. In vitro, we found a significantly decreased growth rate for fosfomycin-resistant strains as compared with susceptible strains in the WT group. In a murine model of ascending UTI, there was a significant reduction in infection rates with fosfomycin-resistant isolates as compared with susceptible ones, in all 3 study groups, ranging from 28 to 39% (P

Objectives To characterize the novel cfr(D) gene identified in an Enterococcus faecium clinical isolate (15-307.1) collected from France. Methods The genome of 15-307.1 was entirely sequenced using a hybrid approach combining short-read (MiSeq, Illumina) and long-read (GridION, Oxford Nanopore Technologies) technologies in order to analyse in detail the genetic support and environment of cfr(D). Transfer of linezolid resistance from 15-307.1 to E. faecium BM4107 was attempted by filter-mating experiments. The recombinant plasmid pAT29Ωcfr(D), containing cfr(D) and its own promoter, was transferred to E. faecium HM1070, Enterococcus faecalis JH2-2 and Escherichia coli AG100A. Results As previously reported, 15-307.1 belonged to ST17 and was phenotypically resistant to linezolid (MIC, 16 mg/L), vancomycin and teicoplanin. A hybrid sequencing approach confirmed the presence of several resistance genes including vanA, optrA and cfr(D). Located on a 103 kb plasmid, cfr(D) encoded a 357 amino acid protein, which shared 64%, 64%, 48% and 51% amino acid identity with Cfr, Cfr(B), Cfr(C) and Cfr(E), respectively. Both optrA and cfr(D) were successfully co-transferred to E. faecium BM4107. When expressed in E. faecium HM1070 and E. faecalis JH2-2, pAT29Ωcfr(D) did not confer any resistance, whereas it was responsible for an expected PhLOPSA resistance phenotype in E. coli AG100A. Analysis of the genetic environment of cfr(D) showed multiple IS1216 elements, putatively involved in its mobilization. Conclusions Cfr(D) is a novel member of the family of 23S rRNA methyltransferases. While only conferring a PhLOPSA resistance phenotype when expressed in E. coli, enterococci could constitute an unknown reservoir of cfr(D).

OBJECTIVES To describe the epidemiological trend of linezolid-resistant enterococci (LRE) collected in France from 2006 to 2016 and to extensively characterize LRE isolates. METHODS The National Reference Center for Enterococci (NRC-Enc) received enterococcal isolates suspected to be VRE and/or LRE from all French hospitals between 2006 and 2016. LRE isolates were phenotypically characterized and their genomes were entirely sequenced by Miseq (Illumina). Transfer of linezolid resistance was attempted by filter mating experiments. RESULTS Out of 3974 clinical isolates of enterococci received at the NRC-Enc over the period, 9 (0.2%) were LRE (MICs 8 to >32 mg/L), including 6 Enterococcus faecium and 3 Enterococcus faecalis. This overall prevalence significantly increased over the study period, reaching 0.8% in 2016. The five LRE isolated before 2016 were vanA-positive E. faecium whereas strains isolated in 2016 (one E. faecium and three E. faecalis) were susceptible to vancomycin. None of these isolates was part of an outbreak, while E. faecium strains were assigned to four different STs [17 (1), 80 (3), 412 (1) and 650 (1)] and all three E. faecalis belonged to ST480. Except for the strain isolated in 2010, all LRE were positive for optrA, which was located on plasmids (5/8) or in the chromosome (3/8). Plasmid transfer of optrA was successful in three cases. CONCLUSIONS There has been a significant increase in the prevalence of LRE in France over time; this is due to the spread of optrA among E. faecium and E. faecalis human clinical isolates (VRE or not).

Owing to the emergence of vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium , treatment of enterococcal infections has become challenging. Although spontaneous in vitro resistance frequencies are low, the emergence of resistance is increasingly reported during daptomycin therapy. The mutant selection window (MSW), comprised between the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and the mutant prevention concentration (MPC), corresponds to the concentration range within which resistant mutants may be selected. Since no data are available for enterococci, the aim of this study was to determine MPCs and MSWs for 12 representative E. faecium clinical isolates. MICs and MPCs were determined by broth microdilution and agar dilution methods, respectively. A basic MSW-derived pharmacodynamic analysis was also performed using mean maximum plasma concentration ( C max ) values obtained with dosages from 4 to 12 mg/kg. MICs and MPCs of daptomycin ranged from 0.5 to 4 mg/L and from 2 to 32 mg/L, respectively, with no correlation between them. The wideness of MSWs ranged from 2× to 32× MIC. Mean plasma C max values of daptomycin were calculated from 55 to 174.5 mg/L when using a dosage from 4 to 12 mg/kg. All C max values were above the MPCs whatever the dosage. Taking into account the protein binding of daptomycin (ca. 90%), the unbound fraction C max was just within the MSW in 67–92% of strains at recommended dosages (4–6 mg/kg) and was above the MPC for the majority of strains only with the highest dosage (12 mg/kg). This study shows that free daptomycin C max values usually fell into MSWs when using lower dosages (

Objectives Ceftaroline and ceftobiprole are new parenteral cephalosporins with potent activity against methicillin-resistant (MR) staphylococci, which are the leading cause of prosthetic joint infections (PJIs). The aim of this study was to determine and compare the in vitro activities of both molecules against staphylococcal isolates recovered from clinically documented PJIs. Methods A collection of 200 non-duplicate clinical isolates [100 Staphylococcus aureus and 100 coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS), including 19 and 27 MR isolates, respectively] was studied. Minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of oxacillin, ceftaroline, ceftobiprole, vancomycin, teicoplanin, clindamycin, levofloxacin, linezolid and daptomycin were determined by the broth microdilution method. Bactericidal activity (at 4× MIC) of ceftaroline, ceftobiprole, vancomycin, teicoplanin, linezolid and daptomycin was assessed by time–kill assay. Results Among the S. aureus isolates, 100% were susceptible to ceftaroline (MIC50/90, 0.25/0.5 μg/mL) and 98% were susceptible to ceftobiprole (MIC50/90, 0.5/1 μg/mL), regardless of their methicillin resistance. The two ceftobiprole-non-susceptible strains (including one MRSA) showed MICs at 4 mg/L. Against CoNS isolates, ceftaroline and ceftobiprole exhibited in vitro potency with MIC50/90 values at 0.06/0.25 μg/mL and 0.25/1 μg/mL, respectively. At 4× MIC, ceftaroline and ceftobiprole showed rapid and marked bactericidal activity against both S. aureus and CoNS (after 24/12 h and 12/6 h of incubation, respectively), whilst none of the other molecules tested had a bactericidal effect by 24 h. Conclusions This study showed that ceftaroline and ceftobiprole have excellent in vitro activity against clinical isolates of staphylococci involved in PJIs. These molecules may therefore represent promising alternatives for the treatment of such infections.

International audience; The study evaluated the in vitro activity of ceftolozane-tazobactam (C/T) against 94 unique clinical isolates of Enterobacter cloacae complex (ECC). No difference was observed according to the ECC cluster. The in vitro activity greatly varied depending on the β-lactamase-producing profile: 100%, 67%, and 19% of wild-type, extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing, and AmpC-overproducing strains, respectively, were susceptible to C/T. The use of C/T could be of interest for the treatment of some infections caused by ESBL-producing AmpC-nonoverexpressing ECC isolates.

Tedizolid, a second-generation oxazolidinone that displays a potent activity against Gram-positive pathogens, could be an interesting option for the treatment of bone and joint infections (BJIs). The aim of the study was to determine minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) of tedizolid against a collection of 359 clinical isolates involved in clinically-documented BJIs and to compare them to those of comparator agents used in Gram-positive infections. Of the 104 Staphylococcus aureus and 102 coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS) isolates, 99 and 92 % were categorized as susceptible to tedizolid, respectively (MIC25=0.12/0.25 µg ml−1 and MIC90=0.25/0.5 µg ml−1), regardless of their methicillin resistance. MIC50 and MIC90 for the 51 enterococci, the 50 Corynebacterium spp. and the 52 Propionibacterium spp. were either equal or inferior to 0.5 µg ml−1. Altogether, tedizolid possessed a potent in vitro activity against most of the BJI Gram-positive pathogens with 95 % of them exhibiting a MIC ≤0.5 µg ml−1.

OBJECTIVES To improve understanding of mechanisms of daptomycin resistance and to dissect the genetic basis of reversion to daptomycin hypersusceptibility in Enterococcus faecium. METHODS Daptomycin-resistant mutants (Mut4, Mut8, Mut16, Mut32, Mut64 and Mut128 with MICs from 4 to 128 mg/L) were obtained in vitro from E. faecium strain Aus0004 (MIC at 2 mg/L). The entire genome sequences of Mut64 and Mut128 were determined as well as those of liaFSR and cls genes for other mutants and corresponding revertants (named Rev4 to Rev128). The study of daptomycin resistance stability was performed without any selective pressure. The expression of liaF, liaS and liaR genes was quantified by quantitative RT-PCR. RESULTS By comparative genomic analysis, substitutions Asn13Ser in cls and Gly92Asp in liaS were identified in Mut64 and Mut128. Only the liaS mutation was found in Mut16 and Mut32 while Mut4 and Mut8 were devoid of any mutation. After 15 days, all mutants except Mut4 reverted to daptomycin hypersusceptibility (MICs from 0.12 to 0.25 mg/L). In all revertants (except Rev4 and Rev8), an IS was found in the liaFSR operon with a dramatic decrease of its expression: IS66 in the promoter region of liaF (Rev16 and Rev64), IS30 in liaR (Rev32) and IS982 in liaF (Rev128). CONCLUSIONS We demonstrated the stepwise and sequential acquisition of mutations in liaS and in cls leading to daptomycin resistance in E. faecium, and the instability of daptomycin resistance as well as the role of liaFSR inactivation in reversion to daptomycin hypersusceptibility.

Infectious Diseases - Abstract
Introduction La fosfomycine [Fos] est indiquee en premiere intention dans les cystites non compliquees, et largement utilisee. Malgre la frequence elevee de mutants resistants selectionnes spontanement in vitro, la prevalence de la resistance a la Fos parmi les souches de E coli isolees d’infections urinaires reste tres faible. Ces donnees paradoxales pourraient s’expliquer par un cout biologique de la resistance a la Fos. Materiels et methodes Trois groupes de souches de E. coli ont ete etudies : 2 groupes d’isolats cliniques respectivement de phenotype multi-sensible et multi-resistant, et un groupe avec la souche E. coli CFT073 et des derives isogeniques resistants a la Fos selectionnes in vitro. Les CMI de la Fos ont ete determinees par microdilution en presence de 25 mg/L de glucose-6-phosphate. Les genes habituellement impliques dans la resistance a la Fos (murA, glpT, uhpT, cyaA, ptsI et uhpA) ont ete sequences et la recherche du gene fosA3 a ete realisee par PCR. Dix-huit genes de virulence representatifs des principales souches de E. coli uropathogenes ont ete recherches par PCR. Le fitness des souches a ete evalue in vitro par realisation de courbes de croissance et mesure du taux de croissance maximal. In vivo, nous avons etudie le taux d’infection dans un modele murin de pyelonephrite par voie ascendante. La virulence etait definie par un taux de souris infectees superieur a 60 %. Resultats Les CMI de la Fos des souches variaient de 0,5 a plus de 1024 mg/L. Differentes mutations ont ete retrouvees parmi les souches cliniques dans les genes glpT, uhpT, cyaA et ptsI, y compris chez des souches considerees comme sensibles mais avec des CMI de la Fos entre 8 et 32 mg/L. Au contraire, certaines souches resistantes ne presentaient aucune mutation dans les genes habituellement impliques et sequences dans notre etude. In vivo, il a ete observe que les souches resistantes a la Fos avaient une diminution significative de 27,7 a 39,1 % (p 0,9) et n’etait pas predite par la seule mesure du taux de croissance maximal in vitro. Conclusion La resistance a la Fos est associee a une perte de virulence des souches de E. coli in vivo dans un modele murin de pyelonephrite ascendante, quel que soit le groupe de souches etudie, et ce meme pour des souches considerees comme sensibles mais presentant des CMI de la Fos a 8 mg/L et plus. Cette perte de virulence peut etre attenuee chez certaines souches resistantes par l’acquisition probable de mutations compensatrices generant le risque de souches resistantes et virulentes. Par ailleurs, nos resultats suggerent l’existence de mecanismes de resistance a la Fos encore inconnus.
