DOI: 10.1007/s00284-021-02549-y
Abstract: Toxin-antitoxin (TA) systems have been studied in many bacterial genera, but a clear understanding of the evolutionary trajectory of TA operons has not emerged. To address this issue, I identified 42 distinct TA operons in… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10989-019-09868-6
Abstract: Persisters are a variant of bacteria responsible for non-inherited antibiotic resistance and tolerance. Listeria monocytogenes is a predominant food-borne pathogen causing listeriosis. Persister cell formation in L. monocytogenes population may be explained by the presence… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.molcel.2020.05.028
Abstract: Toxin-antitoxin (TA) systems are ubiquitous genetic elements in bacterial genomes, but their functions are controversial. Although they are frequently postulated to regulate cell growth following stress, few null phenotypes for TA systems have been reported.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/15476286.2016.1272747
Abstract: ABSTRACT Toxin-antitoxin (TA) systems are gene modules that appear to be horizontally mobile across a wide range of prokaryotes. It has been proposed that type I TA systems, with an antisense RNA-antitoxin, are less mobile… read more here.
