Deciphering the role of spermidine in Salmonella Typhimurium pathogenesis
Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium (S. Typhimurium) is a Gram-negative, facultative anaerobic bacterium. It infects a broad range of hosts, causing symptoms such as gastroenteritis, abdominal pain, inflammatory diarrhoea ... -
Manipulating Bacterial and Host Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS)- based mechanisms to potentiate killing of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb)
Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) is evolutionarily equipped to resist exogenous reactive oxygen species but shows vulnerability to an increase in endogenous ROS (eROS). Since eROS is an unavoidable consequence of aerobic ... -
Mechanism of the Development of Genetic Resistance to Antibiotics Mediated by three Reactive Oxygen Species in Mycobacterium smegmatis
Bacteria use different means to survive in the continued presence of antibiotics. We find that upon prolonged exposure to antibiotics, mycobacteria put up a triphasic response comprised of a logarithmic reduction of the ...
