Staphylococcus aureus SOS response: Activation, impact, and drug targets [PDF]
Staphylococcus aureus is a common cause of diverse infections, ranging from superficial to invasive, affecting both humans and animals. The widespread use of antibiotics in clinical treatments has led to the emergence of antibiotic‐resistant strains and ...

The Role of the SOS Response in the Adaptation of Pseudomonas aeruginosa [PDF]
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a major opportunistic pathogen whose adaptive capacity limits the long-term efficacy of antibiotic therapy. Beyond classical resistance mechanisms, antibiotics may also act as stress signals that alter bacterial physiology and ...

Many antibiotics, either directly or indirectly, cause DNA damage thereby activating the bacterial DNA damage (SOS) response. SOS activation results in expression of genes involved in DNA repair and mutagenesis, and the regulation of the SOS response ...

Combined inactivation of the SOS response with TCA fumarases and the adaptive response enhances antibiotic susceptibility against Escherichia coli [PDF]
IntroductionTargeting bacterial DNA damage responses such as the SOS response represents a promising strategy for enhancing the efficacy of existing antimicrobials.

Fluoroquinolone-specific resistance trajectories in E. coli and their dependence on the SOS-response [PDF]
Background Fluoroquinolones are indispensable antibiotics used in treating bacterial infections in both human and veterinary medicine. However, resistance to these drugs presents a growing challenge.

Zinc blocks SOS-induced antibiotic resistance via inhibition of RecA in Escherichia coli. [PDF]
Zinc inhibits the virulence of diarrheagenic E. coli by inducing the envelope stress response and inhibiting the SOS response. The SOS response is triggered by damage to bacterial DNA. In Shiga-toxigenic E.

Differential requirements of two recA mutants for constitutive SOS expression in Escherichia coli K-12. [PDF]
Repairing DNA damage begins with its detection and is often followed by elicitation of a cellular response. In E. coli, RecA polymerizes on ssDNA produced after DNA damage and induces the SOS Response.

The SOS Response of Biofilms [PDF]
Background: Biofilms predominate in nearly all nutrient-sufficient ecosystems, both natural and clinical. In clinical settings, bacteria often encounter antimicrobial and DNA damaging agents. Factual evidence shows that more and more biofilm inducing antimicrobials trigger the SOS response of bacteria.
