PmrAB, a two-component regulatory system of Pseudomonas aeruginosa that modulates resistance to cationic antimicrobial peptides and addition of aminoarabinose to lipid A.
Spontaneous polymyxin-resistant mutants of Pseudomonas aeruginosa were isolated. The mutations responsible for this phenotype were mapped to a two-component signal transduction system similar to PmrAB of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium. Lipid A of these mutants contained aminoarabinose, an inducible modification that is associated with polymyxin resistance. Thus, P. aeruginosa possesses a mechanism that induces resistance to cationic antimicrobial peptides in response to environmental conditions.
