Antibiotic-recalcitrant infections, defined as the prolonged carriage of pathogenic bacteria even in the presence of antibiotics, are often caused by bacteria that are genetically susceptible to the drug. These recalcitrant bacteria fail to proliferate in the presence of antibiotics but remain viable such that they may recolonize their niche following antibiotic withdrawal. Significant progress has been made in our understanding of antibiotic-recalcitrant Salmonella, which are thought to be the source of infection relapse. In recent years, it has been shown that recalcitrant bacteria manipulate host immune defences and could directly contribute to the spread of antimicrobial resistance. In this Review, we provide an overview of what is currently known about the antibiotic recalcitrance of Salmonella during infection and highlight knowledge gaps requiring additional research in the future.

In recent years, there has been considerable progress in determining the soil properties that influence the structure of the soil microbiome. By contrast, the effects of microorganisms on their soil habitat have received less attention with most previous studies focusing on microbial contributions to soil carbon and nitrogen dynamics. However, soil microorganisms are not only involved in nutrient cycling and organic matter transformations but also alter the soil habitat through various biochemical and biophysical mechanisms. Such microbially mediated modifications of soil properties can have local impacts on microbiome assembly with pronounced ecological ramifications. In this Review, we describe the processes by which microorganisms modify the soil environment, considering soil physics, hydrology and chemistry. We explore how microorganism–soil interactions can generate feedback loops and discuss how microbially mediated modifications of soil properties can serve as an alternative avenue for the management and manipulation of microbiomes to combat soil threats and global change. In this Review, Philippot et al. explore how soil microorganisms can affect the physical and chemical properties of soil and discuss the ecological and evolutionary consequences of these microbially driven shifts in soil properties. They also explore how microbially mediated changes in soil properties can be used to combat threats to soil health and other environmental challenges.
