Tolerance and Persistence to Drugs: A Main Challenge in the Fight Against Mycobacterium tuberculosis
The treatment of tuberculosis is extremely long. One of the reasons why Mycobacterium tuberculosis elimination from the organism takes so long is that in particular environmental conditions it can become tolerant to drugs and/or develop persisters able ...

Clinical rel mutations in Staphylococcus aureus prime pathogen expansion under nutrient stress
Persistent infection by Staphylococcus aureus has been linked to the bacterial stringent response (SR), a conserved stress response pathway regulated by the Rel protein.

Bacterial lifestyle shapes stringent response activation [PDF]
Bacteria inhabit enormously diverse niches and have a correspondingly large array of regulatory mechanisms to adapt to often inhospitable and variable environments. The stringent response (SR) allows bacteria to quickly reprogram transcription in response to changes in nutrient availability. Although the proteins controlling this response are conserved

Bakterien unter Stress - die stringent response [PDF]
AbstractThe ability of microorganisms to cope with a large variety of environmental conditions is one of their most outstanding features. This review gives an overview over the metabolism and targets of ppGpp and pppGpp, the second messengers mediating resource allocation and adaptation to unfavourable conditions by triggering the ‘stringent response’.

Synthetic (p)ppGpp analogue is an inhibitor of stringent response in mycobacteria [PDF]
Bacteria elicit an adaptive response against hostile conditions such as starvation and other kinds of stresses. Their ability to survive such conditions depends, in part, on stringent response pathways.

In natural environments, nutrients are usually scarce, causing microorganisms to grow slowly while staying metabolically active. These natural conditions can be simulated using retentostat cultivations.

Mutation of rpoB Shifts the Nutrient Threshold Triggering Myxococcus Multicellular Development
The ability to perceive and respond to environmental change is essential to all organisms. In response to nutrient depletion, cells of the soil-dwelling δ-proteobacterium Myxococcus xanthus undergo collective morphogenesis into multicellular fruiting ...

The stringent response and Mycobacterium tuberculosis pathogenesis [PDF]
AbstractDuring infection, the host restrains Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) from proliferating by imposing an arsenal of stresses. Despite this onslaught of attacks, Mtb is able to persist for the lifetime of the host, indicating that this pathogen has substantial molecular mechanisms to resist host-inflicted damage.

Orphan Toxin OrtT (YdcX) of Escherichia coli Reduces Growth during the Stringent Response
Toxin/antitoxin (TA) systems are nearly universal in prokaryotes; toxins are paired with antitoxins which inactivate them until the toxins are utilized. Here we explore whether toxins may function alone; i.e., whether a toxin which lacks a corresponding ...
