Can a phage defence system interfere with antibiotic action? 💊 Yes, it can! CBASS is triggered by antifolates and turns these mostly bacteriostatic drugs into bactericidal ones in bugs like V. cholerae. 🦠 www.nature.com/articles/s41564-023-01556-y Read full here: rdcu.be/du20r

We found that many bacterial species use exogenous peptidoglycan fragments - released by lysis of neighboring cells - as a general danger signal, triggering a danger response that protects bacteria against many dangers: biofilm formation. Details here 👇 www.nature.com/articles/s41...
