In this study, we show that Acinetobacter baumannii ATCC 19606 harbors two sets of ohrR-ohr genes, respectively encoded in chromosomal DNA and a pMAC plasmid. We found no significant difference in organic hydroperoxide (OHP) resistance between strains with or without pMAC. However, a disk diffusion assay conducted by exposing wild-type, ∆ohrR-C, C represented gene on chromosome, or ∆ohr-C single mutants, or ∆ohrR-C∆ohr-C double mutants to tert-butyl hydroperoxide (tBHP) found that the ohrR-p-ohr-p genes, p represented genes on pMAC plasmid, may be able to complement the function of their chromosomal counterparts. Interestingly, ∆ohr-C single mutants generated in A. baumannii ATCC 17978, which does not harbor pMAC, demonstrated delayed exponential growth and loss of viability following exposure to 135 μg of tBHP. In a survival assay conducted with Galleria mellonella larvae, these mutants demonstrated almost complete loss of virulence. Via an electrophoretic mobility shift assay (EMSA), we found that OhrR-C was able to bind to the promoter regions of both chromosomal and pMAC ohr-p genes, but with varying affinity. A gain-of-function assay conducted in Escherichia coli showed that OhrR-C was not only capable of suppressing transformed ohr-C genes but may also repress endogenous enzymes. Taken together, our findings suggest that chromosomal ohrR-C-ohr-C genes act as the major system in protecting A. baumannii ATCC 19606 from OHP stresses, but the ohrR-p-ohr-p genes on pMAC can provide a supplementary protective effect, and the interaction between these genes may affect other aspects of bacterial viability, such as growth and virulence.
