We have to protect Science from budgetary cuts #EUbudget. All the more reason in the middle of a pandemic! COVID-19 has proven it: detection and diagnostic tools in only weeks and vaccines within a year! Politicians need to understand there is no future without Science. RT!!

Admit it you’ve done it too

aac.asm.org/content/early/… Happy to share my latest work about the origin of the two carbapenemases BKC-1 and GPC-1 ! Understanding the origin of resistance genes and their evolution is a fascinating subject and can help mitigate their dissemination. #microbiology #Antimicrobial

Another virus, another vaccine, promising results :) #Ebola #vaccines #VaccinesSaveLives

Comparative genomics identified the environmental bacterial genus Shinella as the most likely origin of the class A carbapenemases BKC-1 and GPC-1. #AACJournal skyw.io/h23RZf

Detection of new resistance genes using bioinformatics and Hidden Markov Model

Researchers in #MicrobioJ identified and developed new antimicrobials in response to #AMR and found that poly glucosamine disrupts Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilms and enhances bacterial clearance. Read online: doi.org/10.1099/mic.0.…

Happy to share the latest (incidentally, also the first) paper from the MBA lab. We demonstrate that aminoglycoside resistance genes in integrons ARE NOT controlled by riboswitches. Want to know how? Here's a thread academic.oup.com/nar/advance-ar… Unidad Divulgación Científica Fac.Veterinaria UCM FVeterinariaUCM Complutense

First let me say that this has been a great collaborative effort from the team, with Alberto.HCA, Lucía García Pastor, @filipatr, Paula Blanco,Nicolas Kieffer, PhD and Ester Vergara. We were very luck to collaborate with Tom Jové and Julio Alvarez

🥇 the first of many 🤘🏼

Found a Linkedin viral post generator and it's already my favorite part of the week lol viralpostgenerator.com

So many novel antiphage systems out there! Hard to keep up with the pace of discoveries? We reviewed for Nature Reviews Microbiology the highly diverse antiphage defence systems of bacteria; from molecular mechanisms to evolutionary drivers of such diversity. rdcu.be/dg3ql

Thanks ! Julia Guzmán

Sedentary chromosomal integrons (SCIs) are biobanks of anti-phage defence systems! In a huge collaboration with the Didier Mazel lab, we showed that these flexible genetic platforms encode known defences and further discovered 16 new systems. A thread (1/n) doi.org/10.1101/2024.0…

Check out our latest preprint! This work was lead by Nicolas Kieffer, PhD with the support of the whole MBA lab, especially Alberto.HCA . If you are interested in the intersection between #Phage resistance and #AMR pull the thread! 🧵 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

So happy and proud of all MBA-lab members that made it possible: kudos to Nicolas Kieffer, PhD and Alberto.HCA for leading the effort, and to Laura, Paula, Fran, Patri and André Carvalho for rowing together. What a team! (ucm.es/mbalab)
