The discovery of novel antibiotics has not kept pace with the growing threat of bacterial
resistance. Bacteria have remarkable genetic plasticity that allows them to respond to a wide …

A defining characteristic of Gram-negative bacteria is the presence of an outer membrane,
which functions as an additional barrier inhibiting the penetration of toxic chemicals, such as …

Gram-negative bacteria depend on their cell membranes for survival and environmental
adaptation. They contain two membranes, one of which is the outer membrane (OM), which …

The fitness cost of antibiotic resistance is a key parameter in determining the evolutionary
success of resistant bacteria. Studies of the effect of antibiotic resistance on bacterial fitness …

MicF is a textbook example of a small regulatory RNA (sRNA) that acts on a trans‐encoded
target mRNA through imperfect base pairing. Discovery of MicF as a post‐transcriptional …

Antibiotic resistant Gram-negative bacteria are a serious threat for public health. The
permeation of antibiotics through their outer membrane is largely dependent on porin …

The micF gene is a stress response gene found in Escherichia coli and related bacteria that
post-transcriptionally controls expression of the outer membrane porin gene ompF. The micF …

Gram-negative bacteria pose a serious public health concern, primarily due to a higher
frequency of antibiotic resistance conferred to them as a result of low permeability of their …

When a wild‐type strain of Escherichia coli and its stpA, hns and stpA hns mutant derivatives
were compared by two‐dimensional protein gel electrophoresis, the levels of expression of …

Gram-negative bacteria pose a serious public health concern due to resistance to many
antibiotics, caused by the low permeability of their outer membrane (OM). Effective …
