Antibiotic resistance gene abundances correlate with metal and geochemical conditions in Scottish soils [PDF]
The vast majority of antibiotic resistant genes (ARG) acquired by human pathogens have originated from the natural environment. Therefore, understanding factors that influence intrinsic levels of ARG in the environment could be epidemiologically ...

Activity Based Tolerance Allocation (ABTA) – Driving tolerance synthesis by evaluating its global cost [PDF]
This paper deals with tolerance allocation driven by an activity based approach. Its main objective is to rationally give a good indicator of the relevance of tolerances values fixed by designers.

Bacterial drug tolerance under clinical conditions is governed by anaerobic adaptation but not anaerobic respiration [PDF]
Non-inherited antibiotic resistance is a phenomenon whereby a subpopulation of genetically identical bacteria displays phenotypic tolerance to antibiotics. We show that, compared to E. coli, the clinically relevant genus Burkholderia displays much higher

Targeting Antibiotic Tolerance, Pathogen by Pathogen
Antibiotic tolerance, the capacity of genetically susceptible bacteria to survive the lethal effects of antibiotic treatment, plays a critical and underappreciated role in the disease burden of bacterial infections.

Nanoparticles Promote Bacterial Antibiotic Tolerance via Inducing Hyperosmotic Stress Response. [PDF]
With the rapid development of nanotechnology, nanoparticles (NPs) are widely used in all fields of life. Nowadays, NPs have shown extraordinary antimicrobial activities and become one of the most popular strategies to combat antibiotic resistance ...

Tolerance analysis approach based on the classification of uncertainty (aleatory / epistemic) [PDF]
Uncertainty is ubiquitous in tolerance analysis problem. This paper deals with tolerance analysis formulation, more particularly, with the uncertainty which is necessary to take into account into the foundation of this formulation.

Antibiotic Tolerance and Persistence Studied Throughout Bacterial Growth Phases [PDF]
Antibiotic tolerance and persistence allow bacteria to survive lethal doses of antibiotic drugs in the absence of genetic resistance. Despite the urgent need to address these phenomena as a cause of clinical antibiotic treatment failure, studies on ...

Conserved binding mode but diverse interfaces of MreC‐PBP2 interactions
The crystal structure of abMreC reveals a conserved two β‐barrel architecture and provides structural insights into its role within the bacterial elongasome. The abMreC–abPBP2 complex model identifies the molecular basis of MreC‐mediated PBP2 recognition, contributing to the regulation of peptidoglycan synthesis.

Human serum triggers antibiotic tolerance in Staphylococcus aureus [PDF]
Staphylococcus aureus frequently causes infections that are challenging to treat, leading to high rates of persistent and relapsing infection. Here, to understand how the host environment influences treatment outcomes, we study the impact of human serum ...
