The horizontal transfer of plasmids has been recognized as one of the key drivers for the worldwide spread of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) across bacterial pathogens. However, knowledge remain limited about the contribution made by environmental stress
scanning microscopy where TRMs had higher proportion of living cells compared to the parental strain at 8 mg/L TCS (means of dead cells: 64.6% for Kp85anc vs 25.6% in d10-2 Fig.1c, d). These results suggest thatK. pneumoniaerapidly evolves resistance to TCS as shown previously32. A...

Coalescence leads to high suppression of invasive communities The survival rate of the invasive community was lower than 1% in all treatments, which means that most invaders did not survive (or were below the detection limit) post-coalescence (Supplementary Fig.4a). Moreover, there were no signif...
The microbial communities of the rhizosphere, which constitute the “rhizobiome,” are essential for plant health as they can increase plant nutrient uptake and resistance to several biotic and abiotic stresses through mechanisms including induced systemic resistance, suppression of plant pathogens, and ...
Bacterial antibiotic resistance is a global health concern of increasing importance and intensive study. Although biofilms are a common source of infections in clinical settings, little is known about the development of antibiotic resistance within biofi

Monash University researchers, as part of an international collaboration, have identified a key part of the process by which a common clinical antibiotic is formed – a finding that could potentially pave the way for novel compounds to tackle the problem of bacterial resistance. Their results were...

Rising antibiotic resistance urgently begs for novel targets and strategies for antibiotic discovery. Here, we report that over-activation of the periplasmic DegP protease, a member of the highly conserved HtrA family, can be a viable strategy for antibi
