  text: Intragenic regions that are removed during maturation of the RNA transcript—introns—are
    universally present in the nuclear genomes of eukaryotes1. The budding yeast,
    an otherwise intron-poor species, preserves two sets of ribosomal protein genes
    that differ primarily in their introns2,3. Although studies have shed light on
    the role of ribosomal protein introns under stress and starvation4,5,6, understanding
    the contribution of introns to ribosome regulation remains challenging. Here,
    by combining isogrowth profiling7 with single-cell protein measurements8, we show
    that introns can mediate inducible phenotypic heterogeneity that confers a clear
    fitness advantage. Osmotic stress leads to bimodal expression of the small ribosomal
    subunit protein Rps22B, which is mediated by an intron in the 5′ untranslated
    region of its transcript. The two resulting yeast subpopulations differ in their
    ability to cope with starvation. Low levels of Rps22B protein result in prolonged
    survival under sustained starvation, whereas high levels of Rps22B enable cells
    to grow faster after transient starvation. Furthermore, yeasts growing at high
    concentrations of sugar, similar to those in ripe grapes, exhibit bimodal expression
    of Rps22B when approaching the stationary phase. Differential intron-mediated
    regulation of ribosomal protein genes thus provides a way to diversify the population
    when starvation threatens in natural environments. Our findings reveal a role
    for introns in inducing phenotypic heterogeneity in changing environments, and
    suggest that duplicated ribosomal protein genes in yeast contribute to resolving
    the evolutionary conflict between precise expression control and environmental
    responsiveness9.

  text: Understanding interactions between antibiotics used in combination is an important
    theme in microbiology. Using the interactions between the antifolate drug trimethoprim
    and the ribosome-targeting antibiotic erythromycin in Escherichia coli as a model,
    we applied a transcriptomic approach for dissecting interactions between two antibiotics
    with different modes of action. When trimethoprim and erythromycin were combined,
    the transcriptional response of genes from the sulfate reduction pathway deviated
    from the dominant effect of trimethoprim on the transcriptome. We successfully
    altered the drug interaction from additivity to suppression by increasing the
    sulfate level in the growth environment and identified sulfate reduction as an
    important metabolic determinant that shapes the interaction between the two drugs.
    Our work highlights the potential of using prioritization of gene expression patterns
    as a tool for identifying key metabolic determinants that shape drug-drug interactions.
    We further demonstrated that the sigma factor-binding protein gene crl shapes
    the interactions between the two antibiotics, which provides a rare example of
    how naturally occurring variations between strains of the same bacterial species
    can sometimes generate very different drug interactions.

  text: 'Polymicrobial infections constitute small ecosystems that accommodate several
    bacterial species. Commonly, these bacteria are investigated in isolation. However,
    it is unknown to what extent the isolates interact and whether their interactions
    alter bacterial growth and ecosystem resilience in the presence and absence of
    antibiotics. We quantified the complete ecological interaction network for 72
    bacterial isolates collected from 23 individuals diagnosed with polymicrobial
    urinary tract infections and found that most interactions cluster based on evolutionary
    relatedness. Statistical network analysis revealed that competitive and cooperative
    reciprocal interactions are enriched in the global network, while cooperative
    interactions are depleted in the individual host community networks. A population
    dynamics model parameterized by our measurements suggests that interactions restrict
    community stability, explaining the observed species diversity of these communities.
    We further show that the clinical isolates frequently protect each other from
    clinically relevant antibiotics. Together, these results highlight that ecological
    interactions are crucial for the growth and survival of bacteria in polymicrobial
    infection communities and affect their assembly and resilience. '

  text: Antibiotics elicit drastic changes in microbial gene expression, including
    the induction of stress response genes. While certain stress responses are known
    to “cross-protect” bacteria from other stressors, it is unclear whether cellular
    responses to antibiotics have a similar protective role. By measuring the genome-wide
    transcriptional response dynamics of Escherichia coli to four antibiotics, we
    found that trimethoprim induces a rapid acid stress response that protects bacteria
    from subsequent exposure to acid. Combining microfluidics with time-lapse imaging
    to monitor survival and acid stress response in single cells revealed that the
    noisy expression of the acid resistance operon gadBC correlates with single-cell
    survival. Cells with higher gadBC expression following trimethoprim maintain higher
    intracellular pH and survive the acid stress longer. The seemingly random single-cell
    survival under acid stress can therefore be predicted from gadBC expression and
    rationalized in terms of GadB/C molecular function. Overall, we provide a roadmap
    for identifying the molecular mechanisms of single-cell cross-protection between
    antibiotics and other stressors.

  text: The rising prevalence of antibiotic resistant bacteria is an increasingly
    serious public health challenge. To address this problem, recent work ranging
    from clinical studies to theoretical modeling has provided valuable insights into
    the mechanisms of resistance, its emergence and spread, and ways to counteract
    it. A deeper understanding of the underlying dynamics of resistance evolution
    will require a combination of experimental and theoretical expertise from different
    disciplines and new technology for studying evolution in the laboratory. Here,
    we review recent advances in the quantitative understanding of the mechanisms
    and evolution of antibiotic resistance. We focus on key theoretical concepts and
    new technology that enables well-controlled experiments. We further highlight
    key challenges that can be met in the near future to ultimately develop effective
    strategies for combating resistance.

  text: The emergence of drug resistant pathogens is a serious public health problem.
    It is a long-standing goal to predict rates of resistance evolution and design
    optimal treatment strategies accordingly. To this end, it is crucial to reveal
    the underlying causes of drug-specific differences in the evolutionary dynamics
    leading to resistance. However, it remains largely unknown why the rates of resistance
    evolution via spontaneous mutations and the diversity of mutational paths vary
    substantially between drugs. Here we comprehensively quantify the distribution
    of fitness effects (DFE) of mutations, a key determinant of evolutionary dynamics,
    in the presence of eight antibiotics representing the main modes of action. Using
    precise high-throughput fitness measurements for genome-wide Escherichia coli
    gene deletion strains, we find that the width of the DFE varies dramatically between
    antibiotics and, contrary to conventional wisdom, for some drugs the DFE width
    is lower than in the absence of stress. We show that this previously underappreciated
    divergence in DFE width among antibiotics is largely caused by their distinct
    drug-specific dose-response characteristics. Unlike the DFE, the magnitude of
    the changes in tolerated drug concentration resulting from genome-wide mutations
    is similar for most drugs but exceptionally small for the antibiotic nitrofurantoin,
    i.e., mutations generally have considerably smaller resistance effects for nitrofurantoin
    than for other drugs. A population genetics model predicts that resistance evolution
    for drugs with this property is severely limited and confined to reproducible
    mutational paths. We tested this prediction in laboratory evolution experiments
    using the “morbidostat”, a device for evolving bacteria in well-controlled drug
    environments. Nitrofurantoin resistance indeed evolved extremely slowly via reproducible
    mutations—an almost paradoxical behavior since this drug causes DNA damage and
    increases the mutation rate. Overall, we identified novel quantitative characteristics
    of the evolutionary landscape that provide the conceptual foundation for predicting
    the dynamics of drug resistance evolution.

  text: Combining antibiotics is a promising strategy for increasing treatment efficacy
    and for controlling resistance evolution. When drugs are combined, their effects
    on cells may be amplified or weakened, that is the drugs may show synergistic
    or antagonistic interactions. Recent work revealed the underlying mechanisms of
    such drug interactions by elucidating the drugs'; joint effects on cell physiology.
    Moreover, new treatment strategies that use drug combinations to exploit evolutionary
    tradeoffs were shown to affect the rate of resistance evolution in predictable
    ways. High throughput studies have further identified drug candidates based on
    their interactions with established antibiotics and general principles that enable
    the prediction of drug interactions were suggested. Overall, the conceptual and
    technical foundation for the rational design of potent drug combinations is rapidly
    developing.

    but their underlying mechanisms remain largely unknown. To uncover the causes
    of drug interactions, we developed a systematic approach based on precise quantification
    of the individual and joint effects of antibiotics on growth of genome-wide Escherichia
    coli gene deletion strains. We found that drug interactions between antibiotics
    representing the main modes of action are highly robust to genetic perturbation.
    This robustness is encapsulated in a general principle of bacterial growth, which
    enables the quantitative prediction of mutant growth rates under drug combinations.
    Rare violations of this principle exposed recurring cellular functions controlling
    drug interactions. In particular, we found that polysaccharide and ATP synthesis
    control multiple drug interactions with previously unexplained mechanisms, and
    small molecule adjuvants targeting these functions synthetically reshape drug
    interactions in predictable ways. These results provide a new conceptual framework
    for the design of multidrug combinations and suggest that there are universal
    mechanisms at the heart of most drug interactions. Synopsis A general principle
    of bacterial growth enables the prediction of mutant growth rates under drug combinations.
    Rare violations of this principle expose cellular functions that control drug
    interactions and can be targeted by small molecules to alter drug interactions
    in predictable ways. Drug interactions between antibiotics are highly robust to

  text: Antibiotics affect bacterial cell physiology at many levels. Rather than just
    compensating for the direct cellular defects caused by the drug, bacteria respond
    to antibiotics by changing their morphology, macromolecular composition, metabolism,
    gene expression and possibly even their mutation rate. Inevitably, these processes
    affect each other, resulting in a complex response with changes in the expression
    of numerous genes. Genome‐wide approaches can thus help in gaining a comprehensive
    understanding of bacterial responses to antibiotics. In addition, a combination
    of experimental and theoretical approaches is needed for identifying general principles
    that underlie these responses. Here, we review recent progress in our understanding
    of bacterial responses to antibiotics and their combinations, focusing on effects
    at the levels of growth rate and gene expression. We concentrate on studies performed
    in controlled laboratory conditions, which combine promising experimental techniques
    with quantitative data analysis and mathematical modeling. While these basic research
    approaches are not immediately applicable in the clinic, uncovering the principles
    and mechanisms underlying bacterial responses to antibiotics may, in the long
    term, contribute to the development of new treatment strategies to cope with and
    prevent the rise of resistant pathogenic bacteria.
