Antibiotic Sensitivity conferred by Omp36 MIC Assays MIC values ( � g ml –1 ) for porin null ������� expressing Omp36 Grow to OD 600 0.4 or OmpA (repeated 3�5 times) Vector IPTG ERT FEP � CTC FEP + CTC +/� 1 mM IPTG, 1 h pColdIV only +/� 4 4 2�4 Dilute to OD 600 0.001 pColdIV ��� �� � 4 4 2 pColdIV ��� �� + 0.5 4 0.5 Incubate with dilution series of drug +/� IPTG pColdIV ��� � + 4 8 4 (0.5 mM) and CTC CTC = Clavulanic acid, Tazobactam, Cloxacillin (4 � g ml �1 ) • Omp36 expression causes � 8�fold increase in sensitivity to ertapenem � 4�fold increase in sensitivity to cefepime (+ inhibitors) . • No Omp36 increase in sensitivity to cefotaxime observed

  11. Conclusions from Project 1 • Omp36 expression increases ������� sensitivity to ertapenem and cefepime and electrostatic data shows their strong interaction with the channel • &���������� ERT translocates Omp36 more frequently than FEP due to stronger affinity with an interaction site inside the channel • Varying sensitivities to β �lactamase degredation and target affinities means that influx rates of different β �lactams cannot be directly compared by MIC assays alone • Quantification of flux through purified porins in lipid bilayers, together with MIC assays provides crucial information about the molecular dialogue between channel and drug.

Over�expression in ������������ : Decreased Omp36 expression Decreased susceptibility to β�lactams Increased OmpX and decreased porins in clinical isolates OmpX expression is increased in response to external stress conditions Work by M.
