1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Genetically susceptible bacteria become antibiotic tolerant during chronic infections, and the mechanisms responsible are poorly understood. One factor that may contribute to differential sensitivity in vitro and in vivo is differences in the time-dependent tobramycin concentration profile experienced by the bacteria. Here, we examine the proteome response induced by subinhibitory concentrations of tobramycin in Pseudomonas aeruginosa cells grown under planktonic conditions. These efforts revealed increased levels of heat shock proteins and proteases were present at higher dosage treatments (0.5 and 1 μg/ml), while less dramatic at 0.1 μg/ml dosage. In contrast, many metabolic enzymes were significantly induced by lower dosages (0.1 and 0.5 μg/ml) but not at 1 μg/ml dosage. Time course proteome analysis further revealed that the increase of heat shock proteins and proteases was most rapid from 15 min to 60 min, and the increased levels sustained till 6 h (last time point tested). Heat shock protein IbpA exhibited the greatest induction by tobramycin, up to 90-fold. Nevertheless, deletion of ibpA did not enhance sensitivity to tobramycin. It seemed possible that the absence of sensitization could be due to redundant functioning of IbpA with other proteins that protect cells from tobramycin. Indeed, inactivation of two heat shock chaperones/proteases in addition to ibpA in double mutants (ibpA/clpB, ibpA/PA0779 and ibpA/hslV) did increase tobramycin sensitivity. Collectively, these results demonstrate the time- and concentration-dependent nature of the P. aeruginosa proteome response to tobramycin and that proteome modulation and protein redundancy are protective mechanisms to help bacteria resist antibiotic treatments.
