Persister cells constitute a bacterial subpopulation able to survive to high concentrations of antibiotics. This phenotype is temporary and reversible, and thus could be involved in the recurrence of infections and emergence of antibiotic resistance. To better understand how persister cells survive to such high antibiotic concentration, we examined changes in their lipid composition. We thus compared the lipidome of Acinetobacter baumannii ATCC 19606T persister cells formed under ciprofloxacin treatment with the lipidome of control cells grown without antibiotic. Using matrix assisted laser desorption ionisation-Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry, we observed a higher abundance of short chains and secondary chains without hydroxylation for lipid A in persister cells. Using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry, we found that persister cells produced particular phosphatidylglycerols, as LPAGPE and PAGPE, but also lipids with particular acyl chains containing additional hydroxyl group or uncommon di-unsaturation on C18 and C16 acyl chains. In order to determine the impact of these multiple lipidome modifications on membrane fluidity, fluorescence anisotropy assays were performed. They showed an increase of rigidity for the membrane of persister cells, inducing likely a decrease membrane permeability to protect cells during dormancy. Finally, we highlighted that A. baumannii persister cells also produced particular wax esters, composed of two fatty acids and a fatty diol. These uncommon storage lipids are key metabolites allowing a rapid bacterial regrow when antibiotic pressure disappears. These overall changes in persister lipidome may constitute new therapeutic targets to combat these particular dormant cells.
