Phages Produce Persisters

L. Fernandez-Garcia, J. Kirigo, D. Huelgas-Mendez, M. Tomas, R. Garcia-Contreras, T. K. Wood

This study shows bacteria can survive phage infection through mutation or by forming persisters, which survive without mutation and retain wild-type phage sensitivity.

Quinolone resistance in different uropathogens isolated from urine cultures in patients with urinary tract infection

J. A. Almeida Villegas, I. Estrada Carrillo, R. Garcia-Contreras, S. P. Rodriguez

The paper analyzes quinolone resistance patterns in uropathogens from urinary tract infections in Toluca Valley, Mexico, finding higher resistance in gram-negative bacteria, particularly Escherichia coli producing extended-spectrum beta-lactamases.

Iron limitation by transferrin promotes simultaneous cheating of pyoverdine and exoprotease in Pseudomonas aeruginosa

O. Tostado-Islas, A. Mendoza-Ortiz, G. Ramirez-Garcia, I. D. Cabrera-Takane, D. Loarca, C. Perez-Gonzalez, R. Jasso-Chavez, J. G. Jimenez-Cortes, Y. Hoshiko, T. Maeda, A. Cazares, R. Garcia-Contreras

The paper shows that using transferrin as an iron chelator selects for mutants lacking both pyoverdine and exoprotease production in Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
