Surface versus volume synthesis governs growth-dependent efficacy of a β-lactam antibiotic

R. Brouwers, L. Mancini, S. Tavaddod, J. Biboy, M. Mauri, E. Tatham, M.-L. Enghardt, A. Zander, P. Cicuta, W. Vollmer, R. Allen

This study shows that mecillinam affects the balance between surface area and volume synthesis in E. coli, leading to growth-rate dependent efficacy and lysis or sustained growth depending on the medium.

Bacterial aggregation triggered by low-level antibiotic-mediated lysis

S. Tavaddod, A. Dawson, R. J. Allen

This study shows low-dose antibiotics trigger bacterial aggregation via lysis and extracellular DNA release, forming aggregates distinct from biofilms.

Different factors control long-term versus short-term outcomes for bacterial colonisation of a urinary catheter

F. Bull, S. Tavaddod, N. Bommer, M. Perry, C. A. Brackley, R. J. Allen

This study develops a mathematical model to show that long-term and short-term urinary catheter colonization are controlled by different factors, suggesting tailored management strategies for infection prevention.

Stability of β-lactam antibiotics in bacterial growth media

R. Brouwers, H. Vass, A. Dawson, T. Squires, S. Tavaddod, R. J. Allen

This study measures the degradation half-lives of β-lactam antibiotics in bacterial growth media and highlights potential issues with interpreting MIC tests due to antibiotic instability.
