Manganese acts as savior rather than accomplice of antibiotic stress: Dual cycles of ROS scavenging and Mnammox

Key Points

• Manganese significantly reduces oxidative stress from antibiotics, acting as a savior rather than a contributor.
• ROS scavenging and Mnammox cycles demonstrate a dual mechanism for manganese's protective function.
• Analysis of manganese's interaction with antibiotic stress highlights its unexpected beneficial role in mitigating damage.
• Findings suggest manganese contributes positively to antibiotic stress responses, pointing to therapeutic potential.
