Use of the rpoB gene to determine the specificity of base substitution mutations on the Escherichia coli chromosome.

TLDR
The results show that rpoB/Rif(r) is an accurate and easy to employ detection system, and offers the advantage of allowing analysis of mutations occurring on the chromosome rather than on an extrachromosomal element.

Rate and molecular spectrum of spontaneous mutations in the bacterium Escherichia coli as determined by whole-genome sequencing

TL;DR: Comparing results from the wild-type and MMR-defective strains may lead to a deeper understanding of factors that determine mutation rates and spectra, how these factors may differ among organisms, and how they may be shaped by environmental conditions.

Evaluation and minimization of Cas9-independent off-target DNA editing by cytosine base editors

TL;DR: The suite of CBEs characterized and engineered in this study collectively offer ~10–100-fold lower average Cas9-independent off-target DNA editing while maintaining robust on-target editing at most positions targetable by canonical CBEs, and thus are especially promising for applications in which off- target editing must be minimized.

Determination of Antibiotic Hypersensitivity among 4,000 Single-Gene-Knockout Mutants of Escherichia coli

TL;DR: A number of double mutants are made with greatly increased sensitivity to ciprofloxacin, and these overcome the resistance generated by certain gyrA mutations, which provides innate resistance to antibiotics.
Journal ArticleDOI

The population genetics of antibiotic resistance: integrating molecular mechanisms and treatment contexts

TL;DR: This work focuses on the development of models that incorporate details of the molecular mechanisms of drug resistance and ecology into evolutionary models, and shows how these models can be helpful in predicting the dynamics of resistance evolution.

An improved bacterial test system for the detection and classification of mutagens and carcinogens

TL;DR: A test that compares mutagenic killing in deep rough strains with and without DNA excision repair, and a test using forward mutagenesis in a deep rough strain lacking excison repair are described.

Structural Mechanism for Rifampicin Inhibition of Bacterial RNA Polymerase

TL;DR: The crystal structure of Thermus aquaticus core RNAP complexed with Rif explains the effects of Rif on RNAP function and indicates that the inhibitor acts by directly blocking the path of the elongating RNA when the transcript becomes 2 to 3 nt in length.

Detection of rifampicin-resistance mutations in Mycobacterium tuberculosis

TL;DR: Substitution of a limited number of highly conserved aminoacids encoded by the rpoB gene appears to be the molecular mechanism responsible for "single step" high-level resistance to rifampicin in M tuberculosis, a marker of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis.
