Reactive oxygen species accelerate <i>de novo</i> acquisition of antibiotic resistance in <i>E. coli</i>
2023-07-22
Abstract excerpt
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) produced as a secondary effect of bactericidal antibiotics are hypothesized to play a role in killing bacteria. However, the role of ROS in the development of de novo resistance as a result of sublethal levels of bactericidal antibiotics has barely been investigated. Here, we report that single-gene knockout strains with reduced ROS scavenging exhibited enhanced ROS accumulation and...
