So glad to see my first paper as a postdoc out in the wild! Thanks a million to Dr Kavita Gadar and Ronan McCarthy ! If someone wants to make #Acinetobacter mutants feel free to contact us! academic.oup.com/jac/advance-ar…

Rubén de Dios Dr Kavita Gadar Ronan McCarthy developed a scar-free genome-editing toolkit that can be used to modify both the chromosome and the native plasmids of MDR A. baumannii: doi.org/10.1093/jac/dk… #OpenAccess #JACNews

Delighted to share this work on the antimicrobial and antibiotic potentiating activity of artificial sweeteners against MDR pathogens in EMBO Mol. Medicine embopress.org/doi/full/10.15… #WAAW2022 (1/4)


Thrilled to have attended the Microbiology Society Annual Conference thanks to the travel grant! Huge gratitude to the organizers for the opportunity to present my research at the poster presentations. Learned so much and made valuable connections! #microbio23



Already in Coimbra with Dr Kavita Gadar to join our first in-person Acinetobacter conference!


Are you interested in #AMR, new #antibiotics, and the bacterial cell envelope? Our new (giant) review on how to use this external compartment to target bacteria is just out! With Nikol Ayesha Mahmood and Chris Furniss. Link: authors.elsevier.com/a/1hJrpEs76CODy



Delighted to share "Disrupting iron homeostasis can potentiate colistin activity and overcome colistin resistance mechanisms in Gram-Negative Bacteria." Tremendous work by Dr Kavita Gadar Rubén de Dios and great collaboration with Despoina Mavridou Nikol nature.com/articles/s4200…


📢New from Dr Kavita Gadar & Ronan McCarthy: The phytochemical, kaempferol, reduces the MIC of colistin against Acinetobacter baumannii by dysregulating iron homeostasis, which in turn causes a lethal accumulation of reactive oxygen species in cells. nature.com/articles/s4200…



Check our our latest #review article out now in npj Antimicrobials and Resistance ✨ “Using next generation #antimicrobials to target the mechanisms of infection” 💊 by Ronan McCarthy and Dr Kavita Gadar 🎉⤵️ (1/5) nature.com/articles/s4425…

Plastic-eating enzymes could potentially be developed to dissolve plastic bottles faster and create material to make new ones. New #biofilms study from Ronan McCarthy & Dr Sophie Howard phys.org/news/2023-10-p… via Phys.org

How antibiotics work when the bacteria are inside cells? Finally out this review was fun to write with @nthn_dy Pierre SANTUCCI . And we got the cover thanks to the brilliant work of Noémie Matthey @[email protected] !!


Thrilled to announce that I have successfully defended my PhD thesis! 🎓 A huge thank you to my examiners Sam Willcocks and Brad Spiller and especially to my supervisor, Ronan McCarthy, for the invaluable guidance and support since undergrad! Excited for the next chapter!✨
