Abstract

Staphylococcus xylosus has emerged as a bovine mastitis pathogen with increasing drug resistance, resulting in substantial economic impacts. This study utilized iTRAQ analysis to investigate the mechanisms driving resistance evolution in S. xylosus under ceftiofur sodium stress. Findings revealed notable variations in the expression of 143 proteins, particularly glycolysis-related proteins (TpiA, Eno, GlpD, Ldh) and peptidoglycan (PG) hydrolase Atl. Following the induction of ceftiofur sodium resistance in S. xylosus, the emergence of resistant strains displaying characteristics of small colony variants (SCVs) was observed. The transcript levels of TpiA, Eno, GlpD and Ldh were up-regulated, TCA cycle proteins (ICDH, MDH) and Atl were down-regulated, lactate content was increased, and NADH concentration was decreased in SCV compared to the wild strain. That indicates a potential role of carbon metabolism, specifically PG hydrolysis, glycolysis, and the TCA cycle, in the development of resistance to ceftiofur sodium in S. xylosus.

Keywords: Staphylococcus xylosus; Antibiotic resistance; Ceftiofur; Proteomic; Small colony variants.
