Multivalent membrane disruptors are a relatively new antimicrobial scaffold that are difficult for bacteria to develop resistance to and can act on both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. Proton Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (1H NMR) metabolomics is an important method for studying resistance development in bacteria, since this is both a quantitative and qualitative method to study and identify phenotypes by changes in metabolic pathways. In this project, the metabolic differences between wild type Bacillus cereus (B. cereus) samples and B. cereus that was mutated through 33 growth cycles in a nonlethal dose of a multivalent antimicrobial agent were identified. For additional comparison, samples for analysis of the wild type and mutated strains of B. cereus were prepared in both challenged and unchallenged conditions. A C16-DABCO (1,4‑diazabicyclo-2,2,2-octane) and mannose functionalized poly(amidoamine) dendrimer (DABCOMD) were used as the multivalent quaternary ammonium antimicrobial for this hydrophilic metabolic analysis. Overall, the study reported here indicates that B. cereus likely change their peptidoglycan layer to protect themselves from the highly positively charged DABCOMD. This membrane fortification most likely leads to the slow growth curve of the mutated, and especially the challenged mutant samples. The association of these sample types with metabolites associated with energy expenditure is attributed to the increased energy required for the membrane fortifications to occur as well as to the decreased diffusion of nutrients across the mutated membrane.
