This study characterizes metal-responsive TonB-dependent transporters in Pseudomonas aeruginosa using fluorescent reporter plasmids and shows their functional roles and expression patterns in different conditions.

The paper investigates why bacteria carry multiple similar weapons, finding that they are specialised for different environmental conditions.

This study shows Salmonella uses exogenous siderophores more at low pH due to reduced endogenous siderophore production, with RpoS regulating this shift.

This study links bacterial warfare via bacteriocins to virulence and antimicrobial resistance in E. coli, showing their association with pathogenic strains and horizontal gene transfer.

This study models and tests how horizontal gene transfer affects bacterial warfare, finding that gene transfer can benefit weapon genes but not the bacteria carrying them under certain conditions.
