Since its discovery six decades ago, the predatory bacterium Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus has
sparked recent interest as a potential remedy to the antibiotic resistance crisis. Here we give …

Chloramination and chlorination are both strong barriers that prevent the transmission of
potential pathogens to humans through drinking water. However, the comparative effects of …

Membrane efflux pumps play a major role in bacterial multidrug resistance. The tripartite
multidrug efflux pump system from Escherichia coli, AcrAB-TolC, is a target for inhibition to …

Biofilms account for a great deal of infectious diseases and contribute significantly to
antimicrobial resistance. Efflux pumps confer antimicrobial resistance to microorganisms …

Tripartite resistance-nodulation-division (RND) efflux pumps, such as AcrAB-TolC of
Salmonella Typhimurium, contribute to antibiotic resistance and comprise an inner …

Metal resistance of Cupriavidus metallidurans is based on determinants that were acquired
in the past by horizontal gene transfer during evolution. Some of these determinants encode …

Salmonella is a common foodborne infection. Many serovars belonging to Salmonella
enterica subsp. enterica are present in the gut of various animal species. They can cause …

Tripartite resistance nodulation and cell division multidrug efflux pumps span the periplasm
and are major drivers of multidrug resistance among gram-negative bacteria. Cations, such …

The genome of the metal-resistant, hydrogen-oxidizing bacterium Cupriavidus metallidurans
strain CH34 contains horizontally acquired plasmids and genomic islands. Metal-resistance …

Introduction Interspecies interactions are a crucial driving force of species evolution. The
genes of each coexisting species play a pivotal role in sha** the structure and function …
