Role of RelA-synthesized (p)ppGpp and ROS-induced mutagenesis in de novo acquisition of antibiotic resistance in E. coli

Summary: The stringent response of bacteria to starvation and stress also fulfills a role in addressing the threat of antibiotics. Within this stringent response, (p)ppGpp, synthesized by RelA or SpoT, functions as a global alarmone. However, the effect of this (p)ppGpp on resistance development is...
