Heterogeneous efflux pump expression underpins phenotypic resistance to antimicrobial peptides

K. K. Lee, U. Lapinska, G. Tolle, M. Micaletto, B. Zhang, W. Phetsang, A. Verderosa, B. M. Invergo, J. Westley, A. Bebes, R. Yuecel, P. A. ONeill, A. Farbos, A. R. Jeffries, S. van Houte, , S. Pagliara

This study shows that subpopulations of stationary phase bacteria resist antimicrobial peptides through enhanced efflux and other mechanisms, and suggests combining tachyplesin with sertraline to combat resistance.

Fast bacterial growth reduces antibiotic accumulation and efficacy

U. Łapinska, M. Voliotis, K. K. Lee, A. Campey, R. Stone, W. Phetsang, B. Zhang, K. Tsaneva-Atanasova, M. Blaskovich, S. Pagliara

The paper identifies fast-growing bacterial variants that avoid antibiotic accumulation and survive treatment without genetic mutations, challenging the current understanding of antibiotic resistance mechanisms.
