This study investigates how Burkholderia thailandensis responds to antibiotics and phages in spatial refuges, revealing distinct subpopulation behaviors and interactions.

This study shows that loss of type I restriction-modification methyltransferases in Pseudomonas aeruginosa increases fluoroquinolone persistence through enhanced SOS response and slower growth.

This study identifies 52 genes in MRSA associated with reduced vancomycin survival, emphasizing the role of prophage loci, metabolism, and stress responses over discrete resistance mechanisms.

This study investigates how Yersinia pseudotuberculosis survives antimicrobials using persisters, the Eagle effect, tolerance, and enzyme overexpression.

This study shows that structural defects in amyloid-β fibrils are key sites for secondary nucleation, suggesting new strategies for drug design to inhibit amyloid disorders.

The paper shows hybrid membranes select for D-ribose, deoxyribose, and specific L-amino acids, suggesting membrane permeability influenced life's stereochemistry.

This study shows that S. aureus enters a viable but non-culturable state when competing with P. aeruginosa, altering its metabolism and survival strategies in response to antibiotics.

This study shows that antibiotic-resistant bacteria survive treatment by doubling while shrinking, revealing distinct resistance mechanisms in different environments.

This study shows that subpopulations of stationary phase bacteria resist antimicrobial peptides through enhanced efflux and other mechanisms, and suggests combining tachyplesin with sertraline to combat resistance.

This study shows that phage presence reduces antibiotic efflux in bacteria, enhancing antibiotic efficacy and enabling lower concentrations for treatment.
