Interplay between Sublethal Aminoglycosides and Quorum Sensing: Consequences on Survival in <i>V. cholerae</i>

Antibiotics are well known drugs which, when present above certain concentrations, are able to inhibit the growth of certain bacteria. However, a growing body of evidence shows that even when present at lower doses (subMIC, for sub-minimal inhibitory concentration), unable to inhibit or affect micro...

Interplay between Sublethal Aminoglycosides and Quorum Sensing: Consequences on Survival in <i>V. cholerae</i>
description Antibiotics are well known drugs which, when present above certain concentrations, are able to inhibit the growth of certain bacteria.

However, how subMIC antibiotic signaling interplays with other well-known signaling networks in bacteria (and the consequences of such interplay) is not well understood. In this work, through transcriptomic and genetic approaches, we have explored how quorum-sensing (QS) proficiency of <i>V. cholerae</i> affects this pathogen’s response to subMIC doses of the aminoglycoside tobramycin (TOB).
