Heteroresistance, commonly described in the context of antibiotics, refers to the presence of resistant subpopulations within a bacterial strain, and is recognized as a likely contributor to treatment failure. Whether population heterogeneity affects phage activity remains poorly understood. We investigated whether...

ABSTRACT Enterococcus faecalis is a gram-positive commensal bacterium of the human gut microbiome and an opportunistic pathogen responsible for many hospital-acquired infections. Despite the clinical importance of E. faecalis, how gene and protein expression are coordinated with growth remains poorly defined. Here, we...

Gram-negative bacteria are a major cause of antibiotic-resistant infections due to their highly impermeable cell envelope which contains lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and prevents antibiotics from entering the cell. LPS biogenesis relies on the activity of the essential LPS transport machinery (Lpt), which represents an att...
