This study shows that polystyrene microplastics speed up antibiotic resistance evolution and worsen pathogenicity in Acinetobacter baumannii.

This study identifies disruption of the DNA repair protein RuvB as a mechanism promoting minocycline resistance in Acinetobacter baumannii through enhanced biofilm formation and extracellular DNA accumulation.

This study shows that the Tol-Pal system in Acinetobacter baumannii is conditionally required for envelope organization under specific environmental stresses but not under standard lab conditions.

This study examines variation in chondroitin sulfate degradation kinetics and urea regulation among Proteus mirabilis strains, finding that urea-sensitive strains show reduced contribution of CS degradation to urovirulence.

The paper identifies a clinically silent resistance phenotype in Acinetobacter baumannii that allows survival during colistin therapy despite standard susceptibility testing.

This study shows azithromycin synergizes with tetracyclines to overcome minocycline resistance in Acinetobacter baumannii, with synergy observed across strains and media.

This study shows that pyrazinamide's bactericidal activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis is enhanced by host-derived reactive oxygen species and thiol oxidation, highlighting the role of oxidative stress in PZA efficacy.

This study investigates the biosynthesis and roles of glycolipids in mitis group streptococci, showing their importance in virulence and antibiotic resistance.

The paper updates functional annotations for Mycobacterium tuberculosis genes using literature curation and structural modeling, identifying resistance, metabolic, and virulence genes.
