On the Race to Starvation: How Do Bacteria Survive High Doses of Antibiotics?
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this issue of Molecular Cell, Gutierrez et al. (2017) unravel a bacterial survival strategy that they term "density-dependent persistence" or DDP. The authors demonstrate that the majority of isogenic cells in bacterial populations survive lethal antibiotic doses once bacteria consume nutrients and enter stationary growth phase.

Study on the Antibacterial Effect from Moonmilk Pindul Cave, Indonesia
Background and Objective: Antibiotic resistance is the ability of microbes to survive antibiotic exposure with standard doses. Regular updating of antibiotics is one solution to overcome antibiotic resistance. One source with potential new antibiotics is moonmilk from caves because it contains various bacteria proven to have antibacterial activity. The objective of the present study is to explo...
متن کاملProspects for Success in Inhibiting the Growth of Multidrug-resistant Bacteria with Paromomycin
Streptomyces is the most important bacterial genus known to produce secondary antibiotic compounds. Considering the speed of bacterial resistance spread, it becomes more important to study less used compounds. Aminoglycosides disrupt the function of the target microorganism by acting on the protein-synthesis process. Paromomycin is an aminoglycoside that acts on a wide range of gram-positive, g...
متن کاملThe Effect of Some Environmental Factors on the Survival Characteristics of Flexibacter chinensis
To survive in natural waters, bacteria must respond to variety of environmental factors. Flexibacter survival in the aquatic environment is influenced by number of parameters, such as temperature, heavy metal concentration and oxidation. Here we investigate the influence of these factors on the survival of Flexibacter chinensis in starvation medium. Our data shows that different concentrations ...
متن کاملEvaluation of endurance against antibiotics in the western blotting shrimp propagation centers on pathogens of vibrio
This study was conducted to evaluate the resistance to antibiotics in the western white shrimp propagation centers on pathogens of Vibrio bacteria. In Iran, the most important bacteria in the shrimp are the vibrio species. In Bushehr Province, due to the high efficacy of erythromycin antibiotics, streptomycyne oxytracycline and tremitoprim in bacterial diseases, were selected as the species. Th...
متن کاملStrategies for combating persister cell and biofilm infections
Bacterial cells are constantly exposed to environmental stress; for example, almost all cells must endure starvation, and antimicrobials, of course, are administered to kill bacteria. These stressed cells enter a resting state known as persistence in which they become tolerant to nearly all antibiotics without undergoing genetic change. These dormant cells survive courses of antibiotics, as ant...
