Abstract:
Objective To investigate the characteristics of persisters isolated from the chronic infected patients and clarify the relationship between the infection time and persistence as well as antibiotic drugs,so as to provide scientific basis for clinical effective measures to prevent,control and treatment of persister-associated chronic infection.Methods The tolerant ability of the 41 persisters (4 strains of Escherichiacoli,23 strains of Klebsiellapneumoniae,8 strains of Pseudomonasaeruginosa and 6 strains of Staphylococcusaureus)under differet kind and concentration of antibiotics and nutritional deficiencies cindi-tions were detected.In addition,analysis of the homologous strains isolated from the same patients with different infection time was performed.Results The study found that with the increase of concentration of antibiotics,the proportion of persis-ters would gradually decrease.The tolerance ability of the same persister strain to different antibiotics was dissimilar,and different species persisters also had various tolerance ability to the same kind of antibiotics.Persisters were more able to withstand the lack of nutrition.What’s more,there is no significant difference between the resistant ability of the homolo-gous strains isolated from the same patients with different infection time (P>0.05).Conclusion Persisters have different a-bility to stand the kill of different kinds and concentration of antibiotics and they can even be completely removed when ex-posed to sufficiently high concentrations of antibiotic.
