Reducing Peptidoglycan Crosslinking by Chemical Modulator Reverts β‐lactam Resistance in Methicillin‐Resistant Staphylococcus aureus

AbstractSmall molecule can be utilized to restore the effectiveness of existing major classes of antibiotics against antibiotic‐resistant bacteria. In this study, it is demonstrated that celastrol, a natural compound, can modify the bacterial cell wall and subsequently render bacteria more suceptible to β‐lactam antibiotics. It is shown that celastrol leads to incomplete cell wall crosslinking by modulating levels of c‐di‐AMP, a secondary messenger, in methicillin‐resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). This mechanism enables celastrol to act as a potentiator, effectively rendering MRSA susceptible to a range of penicillins and cephalosporins. Restoration of in vivo susceptibility of MRSA to methicillin is also demonstrated using a sepsis animal model by co‐administering methicillin along with celastrol at a much lower amount than that of methicillin. The results suggest a novel approach for developing potentiators for major classes of antibiotics by exploring molecules that re‐program metabolic pathways to reverse β‐lactam‐resistant strains to susceptible strains.
