DOI: 10.1016/j.bbrc.2018.11.052
Abstract: Bacterial persisters comprise a small fraction of phenotypically heterogeneous variants with transient capability for survival when exposed to high concentrations of antibiotic. In aquatic pathogenic bacteria Aeromonas veronii, Small Protein B (SmpB), the core factor… read more here.

DOI: 10.1021/acs.biomac.2c00902
Abstract: Mycobacterial infectious diseases, including tuberculosis (TB), severely threaten global public health. Nonreplicating Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) is extremely difficult to eradicate using current TB drugs that primarily act on replicating cells. Novel TB drugs acting on… read more here.

DOI: 10.1103/physrevb.107.195202
Abstract: We show that the magnetic precession of ferromagnetic moments in a noncentrosymmetric magnetic Weyl semimetal induces an electric current through a mechanism analogous to the adiabatic charge pumping. The current is a consequence of a… read more here.

DOI: 10.1128/mbio.00676-21
Abstract: Various toxic compounds disrupt bacterial physiology. While bacteria harbor defense mechanisms to mitigate the toxicity, these mechanisms are often coupled to the physiological state of the cells and become ineffective when the physiology is severely… read more here.

DOI: 10.1128/mbio.02384-22
Abstract: Bacterial cells with low PMF may survive antibiotic stress due to dormancy, which favors nonheritable resistance without genetic mutations or acquisitions. On the other hand, cells with high PMF are less tolerant, as PMF helps… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2021.659464
Abstract: The bacterial flagellar motor (BFM) is a rotary molecular motor embedded in the cell membrane of numerous bacteria. It turns a flagellum which acts as a propeller, enabling bacterial motility and chemotaxis. The BFM is… read more here.
