Hall 1 Biology Department, University of Rochester, Rochester, New York Manuscript received July 22, 2002 Accepted for publication December 20, 2002 ABSTRACT The TEM family of -lactamases has evolved to confer resistance to most of the -lactam antibiotics, but not to cefepime. To determine whether the TEM -lactamases have the potential to evolve cefepime resistance, we evolved the ancestral TEM allele, TEM-1, in vitro and selected for cefepime resistance. After four rounds of mutagenesis and selection for increased cefepime resistance each of eight independent populations reached a level equivalent to clinical resistance. All eight evolved alleles increased the level of cefepime resistance by a factor of at least 32, and the best allele improved by a factor of 512. Sequencing showed that alleles contained from two to six amino acid substitutions, many of which were shared among alleles, and that the best allele contained only three substitutions. 2001). Developing effective strategies requires under- standing how antibiotic resistance genes are most likely to evolve in response to the introduction of new antibi- otics. Because nature has already shown that one resistance gene can give rise to many phenotypically diverse de- scendant alleles, protein engineers have used in vitro evolution of resistance genes as models for exploring better strategies for protein engineering (Stemmer 1994). The resistance gene most commonly used as a model for protein engineering is the TEM-1 -lacta- mase. TEM-1 is one of the best-studied antibiotic resis- tance genes because it exists at high frequencies in anti- biotic-resistant bacteria across the globe (Medeiros 1997; Chanal et al. 2000; Yan et al. 2000). TEM-1 is clinically important because it confers resistance to peni- cillin and other -lactam antibiotics. -Lactams are often the preferred antibiotics because of their low toxicity and the broad spectrum of bacteria that they affect (Livermore 1996). While TEM-1 has a spectrum that is limited to penicillins and early cephalosporins, it has given rise to 90 descendent alleles that confer resistance to most modern -lactam antibiotics ( rochester.edu/college/bio/labs/halllab/tem_phylo. html and At this point, there are only a handful of -lactam antibiotics to which the TEM -lactamases do not confer resistance. The TEMs are still evolving, and it will be valuable to know what their potential for new resistance is before that potential is realized. While others have used the TEM enzyme to demon- strate the power of their in vitro evolution methods for protein engineering, we have developed an in vitro evolution method for the specific purpose of predicting how resistance genes will evolve in nature. We recently showed that we could reproduce the natural evolution of the TEM -lactamases that has occurred during the WHEN penicillin was first shown to be an effective antibiotic in the 1940s, the expectation that infectious diseases could be controlled or even eradicated appeared to be realistic. Dreaded infections such as pneumonia and tuberculosis became curable, but just when we started to feel secure about our victory over microbes, antibiotic-resistant strains of bacteria started appearing at high frequencies (Cohen 2000). While it is true that antibiotics continue to cure most infections, it is increasingly difficult to identify antibiotics that can be used as effective treatments because of the diversity of resistant strains that exist. Resistance to every antibiotic in clinical use has been observed throughout the world (Cohen 2000), and in many cases microbial strains exhibit resistance to multiple antibiotics. In most cases, resistance to a new antibiotic arises within 3 years of the antibiotic s FDA approval date (Medeiros 1997). Resistance genes produce enzymes that either modify or eliminate an antibiotic. Resistance genes can be spread by vertical transmission from parent to offspring or by horizontal transfer between different strains and species of bacteria. Sensitive microbes become resistant to antibiotics either through the acquisition of plasmid- borne resistance genes or through mutations that either upregulate the expression of a resistance gene or alter the binding or substrate specificity of an enzyme en- coded by a resistance gene. As resistance arises, the pharmaceutical industry races to create new antibiotics more quickly than the current antibiotics become obsolete (McGowan 2001). Doctors and hospitals continuously revise their strategies for treating infections to limit the occurrence and spread of antibiotic resistance (Courvalin and Trieu-Cuot 1 Corresponding author: Biology Department, Hutchison Hall, River Campus, University of Rochester, Rochester, NY drbh@mail.rochester.edu Genetics 163: (April 2003)

Other enzymes such as the OXA and metallo -lactamases confer resistance to cefepime; however, neither of those families of resistance genes are as widely dispersed or as common as the TEM genes. The substitution R164H has already been observed in numerous TEM alleles that are found in clinical isolates ( To our knowledge, the substitutions I173V and R178S have never been observed in natural TEM alleles. Because only three amino acid substitutions are required to greatly increase the activity of the TEM enzymes toward cefepime, and because one of those mutations already exists in nature, it seems likely that the naturally occurring TEM -lactamases will evolve the ability to confer cefepime resistance. While we have used in vitro evolution to make specific predictions about how cefepime resistance will arise through modification of the TEM enzymes, the in vitro evolution method we have developed can also be used to make predictions about how other resistance genes may evolve in nature. The resources available to pharmaceutical companies would enable a more thorough analysis of the evolutionary pathways through which antibi- otic resistance may arise. In addition to predicting the ways in which specific enzymes can evolve the ability to confer resistance to different antibiotics, pharmaceutical companies could also use this method to test the effectiveness of using different antibiotic combinations to inhibit the evolution of resistance. For example, while it is clear that selection for resistance to cefepime indirectly selects TEM alleles that confer high levels of resis- tance to aztreonam and ceftazadime, it is possible that the TEM enzymes are not capable of conferring high levels of resistance to cefepime and cefotaxime at the same time. Combination of those two antibiotics may increase the time required for resistance to those antibiotics to evolve. Again, the resources available to industry
