Abstract excerpt
Some bacterial stress responses are involved in survival under antibiotic treatment and contribute to less susceptible microbial forms selection. Here, we tested the role of cadaverine, one of the biogenic polyamines considered as universal adaptogens, in the processes. The expression of ldcC and cadA genes, encoding cadaverine-producing lysine decarboxylase, increased in Escherichia coli cells exposed to...
