Manganese depletion leads to multisystem changes in the transcriptome of the opportunistic pathogen Streptococcus sanguinis

T. Puccio, K. S. Kunka, B. Zhu, P. Xu, T. Kitten

This study shows that manganese depletion in Streptococcus sanguinis causes widespread transcriptomic changes, affecting multiple systems and growth, but no single factor fully explains the growth defect.

Benzoate-Tolerant Escherichia coli Strains from Experimental Evolution Lose the Gad Regulon, Multi-Drug Efflux Pumps, and Hydrogenases

J. P. Moore, H. Li, M. L. Engmann, K. M. Bischof, K. S. Kunka, M. E. Harris, A. C. Tancredi, F. S. Ditmars, P. J. Basting, N. S. George, A. A. Bhagwat, J. L. Slonczewski

This study shows that benzoate-tolerant E. coli strains lose MDR efflux pumps, hydrogenases, and the Gad regulon while upregulating porins, leading to increased antibiotic sensitivity.

Benzoate and Salicylate Tolerant Strains Lose Antibiotic Resistance during Laboratory Evolution of Escherichia coli K-12

K. E. Creamer, F. S. Ditmars, P. J. Basting, K. S. Kunka, I. N. Hamdallah, S. P. Bush, Z. Scott, A. He, S. R. Penix, A. S. Gonzales, E. K. Eder, D. Camperchioli, A. Berndt, M. W. Clark, K. A. Rouhier, J. L. Slonczewski

This study shows that laboratory evolution of E. coli K-12 under benzoate or salicylate stress leads to loss of antibiotic resistance and MDR gene regulators.
