Nongenetic Individuality in the Host–Phage Interaction
Isogenic bacteria can exhibit a range of phenotypes, even in homogeneous environmental conditions. Such nongenetic individuality has been observed in a wide range of biological processes, including differentiation and stress response. A striking example is the heterogeneous response of bacteria to antibiotics, whereby a small fraction of drug-sensitive bacteria can persist under extensive antib...
متن کاملVi phage-host interaction in Salmonella typhosa.
Since their discovery by Craigie and Yen (1938), the Vi typing phages have been extensively employed in the study of the epidemiology of typhoid fever. Susceptibility to these phages is related to the presence of the Vi antigen, a component found in almost all freshly isolated typhoid cultures. The specific typing preparations, which produce confluent lysis with their homologous typhoid strains...

متن کاملAntibiotics: an ecological perspective
The effects of antibiotics on the indigenous microbes of the gut have been the subject of extensive study ever since the discovery of these drugs in the 1940s and their subsequent commercial production. Yet nearly all of this work has concerned the effects of individual antibiotics on individual, cultivated strains of bacteria in the laboratory, or on specific species of bacteria cultivated fro...
متن کاملInfectious diseases: an ecological perspective.
in human history. Between 1348 and 1352 in many European countries plague was estimated to have killed a third to a half of the population [1,2]. It was not swords and guns but imported microbes, carried by explorers over oceans, that defeated native populations in the Americas [3] and in Australia and southern Africa the arrival of Europeans killed off local populations by introducing infectio...
