Chloramphenicol-mobilized Bacillus subtilis transiently expresses resistance to multiple antibiotics, including the glycopeptides phleomycin and bleomycin

Amelia Brave, Sandra A. LaBonte, Yongjin Liu…·Paul D. Straight

This study shows that chloramphenicol induces antibiotic resistance in Bacillus subtilis by upregulating resistance genes through translational regulation, revealing new resistance mechanisms against glycopeptides.

MOB rules: Antibiotic Exposure Reprograms Metabolism to Mobilize Bacillus subtilis in Competitive Interactions

Y.C. Liu, Sandra A. LaBonte, Courtney N. Brake…·Paul D. Straight

This study identifies how B. subtilis reprograms metabolism to mobilize in response to subinhibitory chloramphenicol exposure through coordinated transcriptional regulators.
