Objective:To investigate the effect of low concentration of Wenyang Tonglin Decoction(WTD)on the binding conditions of R45 plasmid conjugative transfer under liquid phase conjugation and its mechanism.Methods:Escherichia coli CP9(R45)and Staphylococcus aureus RN450RF were cultured in medium containing WTD,and their minimum inhibitory concentration(MIC)values were obtained.Using promoter fusion technology,E.coli CP9(R45)containing a promoter fusion was obtained.β-Galactosidase activity of TrfAp and TrbBp was tested,and the mRNA expression of regulatory factors(TrbA,KorA,and KorB)was detected by real-time fluorescent quantitative polymerase chain reaction.Results:The MIC of E.coli CP9(R45)was 400 g/L and that of S.aureus RN450RF was 200 g/L.When the drug concentration in the culture medium was 200 g/L,the highest number of conjugants was(3.47±0.20)×107 CFU/mL.At 90 h of conjugation,the maximum number of conjugants was(1.15±0.06)×108 CFU/mL.When the initial bacterial concentration was 108 CFU/mL,the maximum number of conjugants was(3.47±0.20)×107 CFU/mL.When the drug concentration was 200 g/L,theβ-galactosidase activity of TrfAp and TrbBp significantly increased;the relative quantification of TrbA,KorA and KorB were significantly inhibited.Conclusion:Low concentration of WTD promoted the development of bacterial resistance by affecting promoters and inhibiting the expression of regulatory factors.
