Bacteria become highly tolerant to antibiotics when nutrients are limited. The inactivity of
antibiotic targets caused by starvation-induced growth arrest is thought to be a key …

Suppressive drug interactions, in which one antibiotic can actually help bacterial cells to
grow faster in the presence of another, occur between protein and DNA synthesis inhibitors …

The environmental contamination of antibiotics caused by their over or inappropriate use is
a major issue for environmental and human health since it can adversely impact the …

Most bacteria live in a dynamic environment where temperature, availability of nutrients, and
presence of various chemicals vary. Quick adaptation to these environmental changes is …

Exposure to antibiotics induces the expression of mutagenic bacterial stress–response
pathways, but the evolutionary benefits of these responses remain unclear. One possibility is …

The mechanisms of the bacterial response to biocides are poorly understood, despite their
broad application. To identify the genetic basis and pathways implicated in the biocide …

Bacteria can exhibit high levels of resistance to one or more environmental stresses such as
temperature, osmolarity, radiation, pH, starvation, as well as resistance to noxious chemicals …

Bacterial populations have a remarkable capacity to cope with extreme environmental
fluctuations in their natural environments. In certain cases, adaptation to one stressful …

Antimicrobial resistance develops as a major problem in infectious diseases treatment.
While antibiotic resistance mechanisms are usually studied using lethal antibiotic doses …

The root cause of the antibiotic resistance crisis is the ability of bacteria to evolve resistance
to a multitude of antibiotics and other environmental toxins. The regulation of adaptation is …
