Recalcitrant infections pose a serious challenge by prolonging antibiotic therapies and
contributing to the spread of antibiotic resistance, thereby threatening the successful …

Brucella abortus is facultative intracellular pathogen that causes chronic persistent infections
and results in abortion and infertility in food animals. Recurrent infections can be one of the …

Three Gram-stain-negative, facultatively anaerobic, rod-shaped, catalase-positive, oxidase-
negative bacterial strains were designated as hw1T, hw8T and hw3T. Strains hw1T, hw8T …

Many AAA+ (ATPases associated with diverse cellular activities) proteins function as protein
or DNA remodelers by threading the substrate through the central pore of their hexameric …

Here, we investigate the transcriptome profiles of two S. Enteritidis and one S.
Schwarzengrund isolates that present different persister levels when exposed to …

Cellular self-digestion is an evolutionarily conserved process occurring in prokaryotic cells
that enables survival under stressful conditions by recycling essential energy molecules …

Although the mechanistic connections between SOS-induced mutagenesis and antibiotic
resistance are well established, our current understanding of the impact of SOS response …

Clostridioides difficile is a Gram-positive pathogen known for its toxin production and spore
formation. It is primarily responsible for most cases of antibiotic-associated diarrhea …

Bacteria can survive antibiotics by forming dormant, drug‐tolerant persisters. Persisters can
resuscitate from dormancy after treatment and prolong infections. Resuscitation is thought to …
