A series of ompA mutants derived from Escherichia coli K12 strains showed increased sensitivity (compared with the ompA+ parents) to aminoglycoside antibiotics and to other cationic agents including polymyxin B. One tested mutant also showed increased sensitivity to nafcillin and fusidic acid, but not to the hydrophilic ampicillin. All these inhibitor sensitivities in the ompA mutants were suppressed by ColV, I-K94 and by certain other ColV plasmids, but not by any of the other tested large plasmids. Suppression correlated with the production of the VmpA protein, but transfer and colicin components were not needed for suppression. Further comparison of the ompA and vmpA genes and their products was made and it indicated that there is little if any homology between the genes, that the synthesis of their products is regulated by quite different mechanisms, and that regions of these gene products exposed at the cell surface show different susceptibility to protease attack after denaturation.

ABSTRACT Escherichia coli biofilms on two polyethylene disks were implanted subcutaneously into rabbits receiving systemic gentamicin. Ultrasound was applied for 24 h to one disk. Both disks were removed, and viable bacteria were counted. Pulsed ultrasound significantly reduced bacterial viability below that of nontreated biofilms without damage to the skin.
