This graphic by Alexander Radtke (first made by Rosamund Pearce) demonstrates perfectly the need to act early on #COVID19 and "flatten the curve" (and its not just for those with the virus, all healthcare patients will be affected if there is a surge of Covid+ patients)

ISPB22 Due to Covid-19, the organizers and the Plasmid Society board have decided to postpone #plasmidbiology2020. A new date will be organized as soon as possible, probably September 2021. We will keep you informed and wish you well during this epidemic period.

New paper out! ‘Population genomics and antimicrobial resistance dynamics of Escherichia coli in wastewater and river environments’ Free Full paper👉 nature.com/articles/s4200… Jose F Delgado-Blas Bruno Gonzalez Zorn ARU Antimicrobial Resistance Unit Complutense @visavet FVeterinariaUCM Thread (1/5)👇

I will explain the concept of plasmid taxonomic units (PTUs), and how to assign your favorite plasmid to a PTU using COPLA (castillo.dicom.unican.es/copla/)

We now report on the in vivo activity of conjugation inhibitors (COINs): journals.asm.org/eprint/SJDDGCG…

Who else than Fernando de la Cruz could be in the team behind this amazing proof of concept?!? Plasmids rock!

What a NAR issue! 2 - check out the NAR paper by Fernando de la Cruz group on how increase specific targetting by conjugation in complex populations by the expression on the surface of donor of specific nanobodies (Nb) ! academic.oup.com/nar/article/50… Congrats to all!

A new encyclopedic review, for plasmid lovers: academic.oup.com/nar/article/53… We (Mapi, Eduardo and I) hope you like it!
