Abstract excerpt
Antimicrobial resistance is a serious public health threat worldwide today. Escherichia coli is known to resist low doses of antibiotics in the presence of sodium salicylate and related compounds by mounting non-heritable transient phenotypic antibiotic resistance (PAR). In the present study, we demonstrate that Bgl+ bacterial strains harboring a functional copy of the β-glucoside (bgl) operon and are actively...
