Bacteria can be adapted to adverse and detrimental conditions that induce general and
specific responses to DNA damage as well as acid, heat, cold, starvation, oxidative …

Bacteria encounter a myriad of stresses in their natural environments, including, for
pathogens, their hosts. These stresses elicit a variety of specific and highly regulated …

Bacteria encounter a myriad of potentially growth-compromising conditions in nature and in
hosts of pathogenic bacteria. These 'stresses' typically elicit protective and/or adaptive …

A better understanding of the impact of antibiotics on bacteria is required to increase the
efficiency of antibiotic treatments and to slow the emergence of resistance. Using …

Bacterial processes necessary for adaption to stressful host environments are potential
targets for new antimicrobials. Here, we report large-scale transcriptomic analyses of 32 …

The delicate and dynamic balance of the physiological steady state and its maintenance is
well characterized by studies of bacterial stress response. Through the use of genetic …

Environmental factors like temperature, pressure, and pH partly shaped the evolution of life.
As life progressed, new stressors (eg, poisons and antibiotics) arose as part of an arms race …

Bacteria thrive in virtually all environments. Like all other living organisms, bacteria may
encounter various types of stresses, to which cells need to adapt. In this chapter, we …
