Divergent Roles of Escherichia Coli Encoded Lon Protease in Imparting Resistance to Uncouplers of Oxidative Phosphorylation: Roles of marA, rob, soxS and acrB

This study addresses the effects of uncouplers and the roles of genes involved during bacterial growth and phenotypic antibiotic resistance. Strong uncouplers are often used to treat wastewater, and these results shed light on the possible mechanisms by which bacteria respond to uncouplers. Also, the rampant usage of some uncouplers to treat wastewater may lead to the development of antibiotic resistance.PMID:38372817 | DOI:10.1007/s00284-024-03632-w
