...from pyocyanin, suggesting that loss of CodY activity facilitates protection via a multifaceted transcriptional response. We think this contributes to understanding how bacteria can adapt to interspecies antagonism, thus improving or maintaining fitness in polymicrobial environments.

...mutant in response to PYO that i) rapidly suppressed metabolism and ii) enhanced expression of stress response genes, particularly catalase. Experimentally, chemical inhibition of metabolism and overexpression of catalase in our parental strain were both sufficient to provide protection...

...the supremely talented @saraalexander.bsky.social, who evolved these adapted strains and identified loss-of-function mutations in CodY, a global transcriptional regulator, as responsible for increased S. aureus survival in PYO. Subsequently, we defined transcriptional changes in the CodY...
