This study shows that incomplete killing by antimicrobial metals like copper and silver in Escherichia coli leads to transient antibiotic tolerance through delayed recovery, not genetic changes.

The paper develops a mathematical framework to predict microbial selection under periodic disinfection by quantifying the growth-survival trade-off between strains.

This study shows that BAC tolerance in E. coli affects antibiotic resistance evolution, with BAC-tolerant strains outcompeting sensitive ones under low ciprofloxacin concentrations but being less likely to develop resistance to other antibiotics.

The paper measures single-cell trait diversity in lake microbial communities and finds it correlates with ecosystem functioning, while genetic diversity does not.

The paper validates a model system to identify genes involved in biofilm formation and antibiotic resistance in Pseudomonas aeruginosa MPAO1 using genomics and experimental approaches.
