Pyocyanin produced by Pseudomonas aeruginosa Creates Legacy Effects That Boost Antibiotic Resistance Evolution in Enterococci

Marjon G. J. de Vos, V. Jansen, O. Bouhlali, Abel A. Vlasblom, Laurens E. Zandbergen, Isabelle van der Windt, J. Kool, Reindert Nijland, Anne de Jong, Oscar Paul Kuipers, S. Dunn, Alan McNally, J. Arjan G. M. de Visser

The paper shows that exposure to pyocyanin from Pseudomonas aeruginosa increases antibiotic resistance evolution in enterococci through efflux mechanisms.

Loss of type VI secretion systems in multi-drug resistant Escherichia coli clones

E. Cummins, R. Moran, A. Snaith, R. Hall, C. Connor, S. Dunn, A. McNally

This study investigates the loss of type VI secretion systems (T6SS) in multi-drug resistant (MDR) Escherichia coli clones and finds that essential T6SS genes are lost in multiple MDR clades through recombination and insertion events.

RND pumps across the Acinetobacter genus; AdeIJK is the ancestral efflux system.

E. M. Darby, V. N. Bavro, S. Dunn, A. McNally, J. M. A. Blair

This paper identifies AdeIJK as the ancestral RND efflux system in Acinetobacter by analyzing RND pump distribution across 63 species and developing a method to predict RND proteins.

Evolutionary responses to acquiring a multidrug resistance plasmid are dominated by metabolic functions across diverse Escherichia coli lineages

L. Carrilero, S. Dunn, A. McNally, M. Brockhurst

The study shows that acquiring a multidrug resistance plasmid in Escherichia coli leads to evolutionary responses dominated by metabolic and regulatory mutations across multiple lineages.
