Mechanistic study of a low-power bacterial maintenance state using high-throughput electrochemistry
Anaerobic phenazine cycling by an opportunistic bacterial pathogen supports a low-power, non-growth metabolism that lends itself to quantitative and mechanistic study of maintenance physiology.

Bacteriophage infection drives loss of β-lactam resistance in methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus
In methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, evolution of bacteriophage resistance causes trade-offs that re-sensitize the bacteriato β-lactam antibiotics.
