Antibiotic resistance in Pseudomonas aeruginosa–Mechanisms, epidemiology and evolution
Antibiotics are powerful drugs used in the treatment of bacterial infections. The inappropriate
use of these medicines has driven the dissemination of antibiotic resistance (AR) in most …

[HTML][HTML] Network resilience
Many systems on our planet shift abruptly and irreversibly from the desired state to an
undesired state when forced across a “tipping point”. Some examples are mass extinctions …

An optogenetic toolkit for light-inducible antibiotic resistance
Antibiotics are a key control mechanism for synthetic biology and microbiology. Resistance
genes are used to select desired cells and regulate bacterial populations, however their use …

Accelerated evolution of bacterial antibiotic resistance through early emerged stress responses driven by photocatalytic oxidation
Here, we found that the photocatalysis (PC) could elicit bacterial stress response that
transiently mediate some mechanism such as efflux pumps, biofilm formation, increased …

Land and deep-sea mining: the challenges of comparing biodiversity impacts
The term 'biodiversity,'while casually used in practice, is a complicated subject to measure,
interpret, contextualize, and compare. Yet the possible advent of deep-sea mining in the mid …
