Mutants ofStaphylococcus aureusstrain COL resistant to a household pine oil cleaner (POC) were isolated on laboratory media containing POC.S. aureusmutants expressing the POC resistance (POCr) phenotype also demonstrate reduced susceptibility to the cell wall-active antibiotics vancomycin and oxacillin. The POCrphenotype is reliant on theS. aureusalternative transcription factor SigB, since inactivation ofsigBabolished expression of elevated POC resistance and the reductions in vancomycin and oxacillin susceptibilities. The isolation of suppressor mutants of COLsigB::kan, which maintain thesigB::kanallele, indicates that the POCrphenotype can also be expressed to a lesser degree via asigB-independent mechanism. These results bolster a growing body of reports suggesting that common disinfectants can select for bacteria with reduced susceptibilities to antibiotics. A series of in vitro-selected glycopeptide-intermediateS. aureus(GISA) isolates also expressed reductions in POC susceptibility compared to parent strains. Viewed collectively, our evidence suggests that mutations leading to the POCrphenotype may also be involved with the mechanism that leads to the GISA phenotype.
