When it comes to antibiotics, bacteria show some NO-how.

Bhumit A Patel1, Brian R Crane.   

Abstract

Homologs to mammalian nitric oxide synthases are found in many mostly Gram-positive bacteria. In some genera such as bacilli, and staphylococci, these enzymes produce protects against oxidative damage, this effect has now been shown to provide an advantage against antibiotics that kill by increasing cellular levels of reactive oxygen species.
