Abstract:
AIM Objective By comparing E.coli's resistance to antibiotics and Chinese medical herbs before and after incubated in LB containing Neomycin or Chinese medical herbs, we try to understand the difference in their mechanism of resistance. METHODS We incubated E.coli cells under the culturing media with low concentration of Neomycin and Chinese medicine herbs respectively; lately, the culturing process were continued under the media with no Neomycin or Chinese medicine herbs. We tested the minimal inhibitory concentrations(MIC)of Neomycin(Kanamycin, Gentamicin, Tetracyclin etc) and Chinese medical herbs to culture cells. Result The experimental data indicated that increased resistance of population cells in the broth including Neomycin happened easily, as well as multi resistance simultaneously. As for the Chinese medical herbs, the case is different. After growing in the LB containing one of Huang Lian (rhizoma coptidis), Berberine or San-Huang-Tang of low concentrations, population cells did not increase their resistance either to antibiotics or to Chinese medical herbs. Removing the pressure of Neomycin, E.coli population cells resistance came back to the initial level. CONCLUSION The increased antibiotic resistance of population cells is unstable, and alternative using of different antibiotics maybe contribute to the alleviation of antibiotics resistance.
