Microbial Persistence and the Road to Drug Resistance [PDF]

Cell Host & Microbe, 2013
Microbial drug persistence is a widespread phenomenon in which a subpopulation of microorganisms is able to survive antimicrobial treatment without acquiring resistance-conferring genetic changes. Microbial persisters can cause recurrent or intractable infections, and, like resistant mutants, they carry an increasing clinical burden.

From environment to clinic: the role of pesticides in antimicrobial resistance

Revista Panamericana de Salud Pública, 2020
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in pathogens has been associated mainly with excessive use of antibiotics. Most studies of resistance have focused on clinical pathogens; however, microorganisms are exposed to numerous anthropogenic substances. Few studies

The antimicrobial polymer PHMB enters cells and selectively condenses bacterial chromosomes [PDF]

, 2016
To combat infection and antimicrobial resistance, it is helpful to elucidate drug mechanism(s) of action. Here we examined how the widely used antimicrobial polyhexamethylene biguanide (PHMB) kills bacteria selectively over host cells.
