Research Article | Ecological and Evolutionary ScienceLying in Wait: Modeling the Control of Bacterial Infections via Antibiotic-Induced ProvirusesAntibiotic resistance is a growing concern for management of common bacterial infections. Here, we show that antibiotics can be effective at subinhibitory levels when bacteria carry latent phage. Our findings suggest that specific treatment strategies based on the identification of latent viruses in individual bacterial strains may be an effective personalized medicine approach to antibiotic stewardship.
Research Article | Novel Systems Biology TechniquesPseudomonas aeruginosa Alters Its Transcriptome Related to Carbon Metabolism and Virulence as a Possible Survival Strategy in Blood from Trauma PatientsWhile a considerable body of knowledge regarding sepsis in trauma patients is available, the potential influence of trauma-induced changes in the blood of these patients on the pathogenesis of Pseudomonas aeruginosa is basically an unexplored area. Rather than using standard laboratory media, we grew P....
Research Article | Therapeutics and PreventionComparative Metabolomics and Transcriptomics Reveal Multiple Pathways Associated with Polymyxin Killing in Pseudomonas aeruginosaPseudomonas aeruginosa has been highlighted by the recent WHO Global Priority Pathogen List due to multidrug resistance. Without new antibiotics, polymyxins remain a last-line therapeutic option for this difficult-to-treat pathogen. The emergence of polymyxin resistance highlights the growing threat to our already very limited antibiotic armamentarium and the urgency...
Research Article | Ecological and Evolutionary ScienceMetapopulation Structure of CRISPR-Cas Immunity in Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Its VirusesPseudomonas aeruginosa is a widespread opportunistic pathogen and a major cause of morbidity and mortality in cystic fibrosis patients. Microbe-virus interactions play a critical role in shaping microbial populations, as viral infections can kill microbial populations or contribute to gene flow among microbes. Investigating how...
