This paper introduces a hydrogel substrate for studying bacterial biofilms, showing improved biofilm growth and virulence factor production compared to glass beads.

The paper shows that faster drug concentration changes reduce persister cells in E. coli, suggesting that pharmacokinetics affects persister formation.

This study shows that fluoroquinolones increase recombination in E. coli by causing DNA double-strand breaks, unlike other antibiotics that do not affect recombination.

This study shows that N-acetylcysteine reduces ROS and SOS response induced by ciprofloxacin, decreasing mutagenesis and suggesting a major role for ROS in antibiotic-induced mutagenesis.
