Roles of two-component regulatory systems in antibiotic resistance

ARP Tierney, PN Rather - Future microbiology, 2019 - Taylor & Francis
Two-component regulatory systems (TCSs) are a major mechanism by which bacteria sense
and respond to changes in their environment. TCSs typically consist of two proteins that …

Bacterial sensor kinases: diversity in the recognition of environmental signals

T Krell, J Lacal, A Busch… - Annual review of …, 2010 - annualreviews.org
Bacteria sense and respond to a wide range of physical and chemical signals. Central to
sensing and responding to these signals are two-component systems, which have a sensor …

Cell envelope stress response in Gram-positive bacteria

S Jordan, MI Hutchings… - FEMS microbiology …, 2008 - academic.oup.com

Antibiotics as signals that trigger specific bacterial responses

A Fajardo, JL Martínez - Current opinion in microbiology, 2008 - Elsevier
The ecological and evolutionary roles of antibiotics have been usually inferred from their
therapeutical activity. Since those compounds inhibit bacterial growth, it was thought that …

Positive feedback in cellular control systems
