Genomic signature of experimental adaptation of Staphylococcus aureus to a natural combination of insect antimicrobial peptides

Olga Makarova, Paul Johnston, Alexandro Rodriguez-Rojas, Baydaa el-Shazely, Javier Moreno Morales, Jens Rolff

This study evolves Staphylococcus aureus to resist insect antimicrobial peptides and finds mutations in ytr and nsa operons confer resistance, with varying fitness costs.

Cationic Peptides Facilitate Iron-induced Mutagenesis in Bacteria

Alexandro Rodriguez-Rojas, Olga Makarova, Uta Mueller, Jens Rolff

The paper shows that cationic peptides like LL-37 enhance iron-induced mutagenesis in Pseudomonas aeruginosa by enabling iron entry, leading to DNA damage via Fenton reactions.
