Antibiotic resistance is a global concern in public health.
Antibiotic-resistant clones can spread nationally, internationally,
and globally. This review considers representative
antibiotic-resistant Gram-negative bacterial clones–CTX-M-
15-producing ST131 in Escherichia coli, extended-spectrum
β-lactamase-producing ST11 and KPC-producing ST258 in
Klebsiella pneumoniae, IMP-6-producing, carbapenem-resistant
ST235 in Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and OXA-23-
producing global clone 2 in Acinetobacter baumannii–that
have disseminated worldwide, including in Korea. The findings
highlight the urgency for systematic monitoring and
international cooperation to suppress the emergence and
propagation of antibiotic resistance.

Expression of a putative acyltransferase encoded by NCgl-
0350 of Corynebacterium glutamicum is induced by cell-free
culture fluids obtained from stationary-phase growth of both
C. glutamicum and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, providing evidence
for interspecies communication. Here, we further confirmed
that such communication occurs by showing that acyltransferase
expression is induced by culture fluid obtained
from diverse Gram-negative and -positive bacterial strains,
including Escherichia coli, Salmonella Typhimurium, Bacillus
subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus, Mycobacterium sp. strain JC1,
and Mycobacterium smegmatis. A homologous acyltransferase
encoded by PA5238 of P. aeruginosa was also induced by
fluids obtained from P. aeruginosa as well as other bacterial
strains, as observed for NCgl0350 of C. glutamicum. Because
C. glutamicum is difficult to study using molecular approaches,
the homologous gene PA5238 of P. aeruginosa was used to
identify PA5309 as an upstream regulator of expression. A
homologous D-amino acid dehydrogenase encoded by NCgl-
2909 of C. glutamicum was cloned based on amino acid similarity
to PA5309, and its role in the regulation of NCgl0350
expression was confirmed. Moreover, NCgl2909 played positive
roles in growth of C. glutamicum. Thus, we identified a
D-amino acid dehydrogenase as an upstream regulator of the
autoinduction of a putative acyltransferase in C. glutamicum.
