Yersinia pseudotuberculosis growth arrest during type-III secretion system expression is associated with altered ribosomal protein expression and decreased gentamicin susceptibility
Author summary Slow-growing bacterial cells generally have reduced antibiotic susceptibility, rendering them difficult to eliminate during antibiotic treatment. However, for many key virulence factors...

Big congrats to the new Dr. Cotten @katecotten.bsky.social on the manuscript submission! Preprint is now available on biorxiv, and links a tRNA modification to specific reductions in ribosomal gene expression and antibiotic tolerance. Check it out! 😀
