Roles of Bacterial Mechanosensitive Channels in Infection and Antibiotic Susceptibility

Roles of Bacterial Mechanosensitive Channels in Infection and Antibiotic Susceptibility

Bacteria accumulate osmolytes to prevent cell dehydration during hyperosmotic stress. A sudden change to a hypotonic environment leads to a rapid water influx, causing swelling of the protoplast. To prevent cell lysis through osmotic bursting, mechanosensitive channels detect changes in turgor press...
