Bacterial growth under confinement requires transcriptional adaptation to resist metabolite-induced turgor pressure build-up

This study shows that bacterial growth under confinement leads to increased turgor pressure, which disrupts division and protein synthesis, and activates the Rcs pathway, with implications for infection physiology.
