Regulation of acrAB expression by cellular metabolites in Escherichia coli
Cristian Ruiz,Stuart B. Levy +1 more
TL;DR: A model in which the AcrAB-TolC pump effluxes cellular metabolites that are toxic and/or have a signalling role is suggested, ultimately triggering the up-regulation of acrAB expression to restore homeostasis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Relationship between Triclosan and Susceptibilities of Bacteria Isolated from Hands in the Community
TL;DR: There was an increasing trend in the association among staphylococci and several species of gram-negative bacteria isolated from the hands of individuals in a community setting and triclosan MICs were higher in some of the species compared to earlier reports on household, clinical, and industrial isolates.
Journal ArticleDOI
An equilibrium between two fractions of lipopolysaccharide in Escherichia coli.
Stuart B. Levy,Loretta Leive +1 more
TL;DR: The results show that in the growing cell the fraction of LPS that is released by EDTA is in rapid equilibrium with that which is retained, and newly synthesized LPS is initially part of the retained fraction but rapidly enters this equilibrium.
Journal ArticleDOI
Commensals upon us.
TL;DR: Clinical improvements and widespread use and misuse of antibiotics have pushed evolution, allowing normally non-pathogenic strains to become infectious disease threats to human health.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rapid radiation in bacteria leads to a division of labour.
TL;DR: The division of labour is shown to be a central feature of the most sophisticated biological systems, including genomes, multicellular organisms and societies, and to evolve frequently in microbial populations, where rapid genetic diversification is common.
