The long co-existence of bacteria and protozoa has led to the development of bacterial protozoa resistance strategies, which are suggested to serve as drivers for the evolution of pathogenic bacteria.
Goal of the study is to understand co-occurrence of antibiotic resistance and virulence in environmental bacteria from the aquatic habitats. These bacteria may serve as a reservoir of both resistance
“Fold diff” depicts fold difference, which is calculated using the formula: MIC of 11168/MIC of a mutant strain. ≥4-fold changes are indicated in bold.*The MICs of 11168B are significantly lower than
Rapid dissemination of the plasmid-born polymyxin resistance gene mcr-1 poses a critical medical challenge. MCR-1 expression is tightly controlled and imposes a fitness cost on the bacteria. We used g
