Article Synopsis
- Antibiotic effectiveness can be negatively impacted by metabolites and drugs at infection sites, with Pseudomonas aeruginosa releasing phenazines that help it maintain balanced redox levels.
- The study reveals that phenazines increase tolerance to antibiotics like ciprofloxacin in biofilms, depending on the carbon source available for bacterial growth.
- Using stable isotope labeling and stimulated Raman scattering microscopy, researchers demonstrated that phenazines enhance metabolism in specific areas of biofilms and affect the bacteria's response to treatment, emphasizing intricate interactions between bacterial metabolites and antibiotic effectiveness.
