This study shows that E. coli susceptibility to mecillinam depends on environmental factors like salts and nutrients, with cysB gene function playing a key role in conditional resistance.

This study shows that hyphal growth in microfluidic alveoli-like geometries enables coexistence of P. aeruginosa, S. aureus, and C. albicans by creating spatial organization that excludes competitors.

This study shows antibiotics increase growth rate heterogeneity in bacteria, with some reducing it, and links morphological changes to growth inhibition, introducing a new AST method.

The paper introduces a high-throughput antibiotic susceptibility testing method using a Multipad Agarose Plate that reduces turnaround time by eightfold.

This study shows that mecillinam affects the balance between surface area and volume synthesis in E. coli, leading to growth-rate dependent efficacy and lysis or sustained growth depending on the medium.

The paper designs a synthetic signaling network that mimics immune cell responses to bacterial metabolism through coordinated synthetic agents.
