Aim: Promising results on application of iodine-containing nano-micelles, FS-1, against antibiotic-resistant Escherichia coli was demonstrated. Materials & methods: RNA sequencing for transcriptomics and the complete genome sequencing by SMRT PacBio were followed by genome assembly and methylomics. Results & conclusion: FS-1-treated E. coli showed an increased susceptibility to antibiotics ampicillin and gentamicin. Cultivation with FS-1 caused gene expression alterations toward anaerobic respiration, increased anabolism and inhibition of many nutrient uptake systems. Main targets of iodine-containing particles were cell membrane structures causing oxidative, osmotic and acidic stresses. Identification of methylated nucleotides showed an altered pattern in the FS-1-treated culture. Possible role of transcriptional and epigenetic modifications in the observed increase in susceptibility to gentamicin and ampicillin were discussed.
