Plasmids are commonly view as burdensome. But maybe this burden can be advantageous? Check out this new review paper from the lab that investigates this further!! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/bi…

Excited to share our study led by Nazgul Sakenova 🇰🇿! We used chemical genetics to identify and understand cross-resistance & collateral-sensitivity (CS) between antibiotics and reduced AMR development with CS drug pairs EMBL with Camille Goemans EPFL nature.com/articles/s4156…

Si estás interesado en hacer la tesis en Ecología y Evolución de la Resistencia a los Antibióticos (+info, hilo), podemos solicitar este contrato de formación predoctoral asociado a una colaboración Fundación Occident Centro Nacional de Biotecnología (CSIC).

🚨New preprint!! How do antibiotic-resistant bacteria grow in the human gut microbiome, even without antibiotics? 🤔 We reveal strain-specific ecological interactions that shape their growth within microbial communities. 🧵👇 1/5 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

New paper from the lab. The brilliant Nora Pyenson led a multi-lab collaboration to investigate the consistent formation of stable phage communities infecting a single clonal host population. She explains the gist of it beautifully in the quoted thread. Congrats Nora et al

Synthetic translational coupling system for accurate and predictable polycistronic gene expression control in bacteria "We created 41 bioparts with varied relative expression ratios, enabling precise control of pathway gene in a polycistronic manner." sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

We are really excited to share that npj Antimicrobials and Resistance is now officially indexed in PubMed Central! A huge "thank you" goes to our incredible editorial team and our Editor-in-Chief, Jessica Blair 🥳 nature.com/npjamar/

New mechanism of gene transfer! With Tiago Costa CBRB, cf-PICIs form tail-less elements that, once released, spread among different bacterial species by hijacking tails from various phages. More exciting news soon! shorturl.at/kRJqE

Enhorabuena Ignacio Belda! Un referente 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Metabolic heterogeneity coupled with a resistance gene generates antibiotic heteroresistance biorxiv.org/content/10.110… #biorxiv_micrbio

Imagine resistance genes as stickers, and plasmids as the sticker albums where they're collected and swapped. 🤔🧩 Now, You should check this amazing work from Wang et al.! 👇 doi.org/10.1093/ismejo… #Plasmid #MGEs #AntimicrobialResistance #ARGs

A team of German scientists have developed tattoos that change color according to the body's levels of glucose, albumin an pH levels. This would allow patients with chronic diseases keep track of their health without having to take constant blood samples.

Can resistance genes really hold their breath like pros? 🤔🤿 Dive into our latest paper to find out! 👇🏼

With a bit of a lag for X... 🧪 Finally out after peer review, our work showing that "Mobile #Integrons carry Phage Defense Systems" is now published in Science 🎉 Short 🧵 science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Super honored to get the Best PhD Thesis award from SEBBM 🎓✨ Big thanks to everyone who supported me along the way. Huge congrats to all the other amazing winners too! 🙌
