Aminoglycoside-inducible expression of the mexAB-oprM multidrug efflux operon in Pseudomonas aeruginosa: Involvement of the envelope stress-responsive AmgRS two-component system
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Exposure of P. aeruginosa to the aminoglycoside (AG) paromomycin (PAR) induced expression of the PA3720-armR locus and the mexAB-oprM multidrug efflux operon that AmgR controls, although PAR induction of mexAB-oprM was independent of armR. Multiple AGs promoted mexAB-oprM expression and this was lost in the absence of the amgRS locus encoding an aminoglycoside-activated envelope stress-responsive 2-component system (TCS). Purified AmgR bound to the mexAB-oprM promoter region consistent with this response regulator directly regulating expression of the efflux operon. The thiol-active reagent, diamide, which, like AGs, promotes protein aggregation and cytoplasmic membrane damage also promoted AmgRS-dependent mexAB-oprM expression, a clear indication that the MexAB-OprM efflux system is recruited in response to membrane perturbation and/or circumstances that lead to this. Despite the AG and diamide induction of mexAB-oprM, however, MexAB-OprM does not appear to contribute to resistance to these agents.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
