Mechanisms of low susceptibility to the disinfectant benzalkonium chloride in a multidrug-resistant environmental isolate of Aeromonas hydrophila

This study identifies mechanisms of resistance in an Aeromonas hydrophila strain to benzalkonium chloride using genomic and proteomic analyses.

Single-cell phenotypic characteristics of phenotypic resistance under recurring antibiotic exposure in Escherichia coli

This study identifies novel phenotypic characteristics of antibiotic-resistant E. coli single cells under recurring antibiotic exposure, showing reduced growth rates and survival advantages for intermediate growers.

Antimicrobial peptide induced-stress renders Staphylococcus aureus susceptible to toxic nucleoside analogues

The paper shows that sub-lethal concentrations of the antimicrobial peptide pexiganan increase susceptibility of Staphylococcus aureus to nucleoside analogues.

Amino acid oxidation constrained protein sequences during evolution: an analysis of a model bacterium.

The paper analyzes how oxidative stress influences amino acid composition in E. coli proteins across different cellular compartments.

Seawater salt-trapped Pseudomonas aeruginosa survives for years and gets primed for salinity tolerance

This study shows that Pseudomonas aeruginosa trapped in salt crystals survives for years and develops enhanced salinity tolerance through genetic and physiological changes.

Clay-induced DNA double-strand breaks underlay genetic diversity, antibiotic resistance and could be a molecular basis for asbestos-induced cancer

The paper investigates how clay and asbestos fibers induce DNA double-strand breaks in bacteria, potentially contributing to antibiotic resistance and genetic diversity.

Demographic variability and heterogeneity among individuals within and among clonal bacteria strains

The paper quantifies genetic and dynamic stochastic variability in lifespan and reproduction among clonal E. coli strains using microfluidic experiments.
