Decreased thermal tolerance as a trade-off of antibiotic resistance

C. M. Herren, M. Baym

This study shows that antibiotic-resistant Escherichia coli have reduced thermal tolerance compared to sensitive strains, indicating a fitness cost in novel temperature conditions.

Prophage-encoded phage defence proteins with cognate self-immunity

S. V. Owen, N. Wenner, C. L. Dulberger, E. V. Rodwell, A. Bowers-Barnard, N. Quinones-Olvera, D. J. Rigden, E. J. Rubin, E. C. Garner, M. Baym, J. C. D. Hinton

The paper identifies BstA, a prophage-encoded phage defense protein that suppresses phage epidemics through abortive infection, with self-immunity mediated by the anti-BstA element.
