Resonant activation: a strategy against bacterial persistence
A bacterial colony may develop a small number of cells genetically identical to, but phenotypically different from other normally growing bacteria. These so-called persister cells keep themselves in a dormant state and thus are insensitive to antibiotic ...

Bacterial retrons encode tripartite toxin/antitoxin systems
Retrons are genetic retroelements, commonly found in bacterial genomes and recently repurposed as genome editing tools. Their encoded reverse transcriptase (RT) produces a multi-copy single-stranded DNA (msDNA). Despite our understanding of their complex

Wound botulism caused by Clostridium subterminale after a heroin injection
Botulism is caused by toxin production from many species of Clostridium, most commonly Clostridium botulinum as well as C. baratii and C. butyricum. Development of wound botulism is associated with injection drug users but has also been described in ...
