Our concept of a stable genome is evolving to one in which genomes are plastic and
responsive to environmental changes. Growing evidence shows that a variety of …

The ampicillin‐resistance transposon Tn3is the archetype (“Tn3” being synonymous with
“Tn1” or “Tn2”;(1)) of a large and widespread family of transposons with representatives in …

Forty years' experience as a bacterial geneticist has taught me that bacteria possess many
cognitive, computational and evolutionary capabilities unimaginable in the first six decades …

Pseudomonas aeruginosa can develop resistance to polymyxin as a consequence of
mutations in the PhoPQ regulatory system, mediated by covalent lipid A modification …

SUMMARY A major challenge for microbiologists is to elucidate the strategies deployed by
microorganisms to adapt to and thrive in highly complex and dynamic environments. In vitro …

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic human pathogen that causes infections in a
