Throughout their evolutionary history, bacteria have developed sophisticated defence mechanisms to protect themselves from diverse threats. This review explores the protective strategies of bacteria, including the mechanisms, evolution and clinical implications of these ancient defences, as well as the countermeasures developed by attackers. The authors argue that understanding bacterial defence is important for developing new therapies and minimizing resistance evolution.
Throughout their evolutionary history, bacteria have faced diverse threats from other microorganisms, including competing bacteria, bacteriophages and predators. In response to these threats, they have evolved sophisticated defence mechanisms that today also protect bacteria against antibiotics and other therapies. In this Review, we explore the protective strategies of bacteria, including the mechanisms, evolution and clinical implications of these ancient defences. We also review the countermeasures that attackers have evolved to overcome bacterial defences. We argue that understanding how bacteria defend themselves in nature is important for the development of new therapies and for minimizing resistance evolution. In this Review, Smith, Foster and colleagues explore the protective strategies of bacteria, including the mechanisms, evolution and clinical implications of these ancient defences. They discuss new therapies for treating disease and how to minimize resistance evolution.
