Bacterial motility governs the evolution of antibiotic resistance in spatially heterogeneous environments

V. Piskovsky, N. M. Oliveira

This study shows that bacterial motility significantly influences the evolution of antibiotic resistance in spatially heterogeneous environments, with migration rates determining whether adaptation is accelerated or decelerated.

Suicidal chemotaxis in bacteria

N. M. Oliveira, J. H. R. Wheeler, C. Deroy, S. C. Booth, E. J. Walsh, W. M. Durham, K. R. Foster

This study shows that Pseudomonas aeruginosa moves towards higher antibiotic concentrations, leading to a suicidal release of bacteriocins to kill competitors.

Stabilization of Microbial Communities by Responsive Phenotypic Switching

P. A. Haas, M. A. Gutierrez, N. M. Oliveira, R. E. Goldstein

This paper shows that responsive phenotypic switching in microbial communities can stabilize coexistence, differing from stochastic switching, using two-species models and simulations.
