How does treatment induced antibiotic resistance happen in real-world infections? We analysed 25k Pseudomonas isolates from 180 patients in a clinical trial to find out! TLDR: The ecological and evolutionary paths are surprisingly diverse & complex even in patients receiving identical treatmentβ¦
π§΅ New preprint! Our 4-lab team evolved Streptococcus pneumoniae in antibiotic-treated mice of varying immune states and discovered something surprising: bacteria rarely evolved resistance. Instead, they found a different way to survive β by rewiring RNA turnover.

Do more plasmid copies mean faster evolution?

New preprint!π
Pyruvate secreted by P. aeruginosa acts as a signaling molecule during infection, reducing oxidative stress, dampening immune activation and promoting persistence
Bacterial metabolism isnβt just a background process but an active player in infectionπ¦ π§«

The @imili-micro.bsky.social project is such a beautiful and necessary initiative!
I am really glad we could contribute.
Special kudos to PhD student Lilibeth Torres who did the #Klebsiella drawing and wrote the text

New preprint out! π£π¨
We found that loss-of-function mutations in the carbapenem entry porin OprD of Pseudomonas aeruginosa do more than confer #AntibioticResistance: they reshape the bacterial membrane and interaction with the host, enhancing epithelial colonization capacity π¦

Plasmids are associated with very variable fitness costs in their different bacterial hosts. But, what is the contribution of each of the plasmid-genes in these host-specific effects? Study led by

Plasmids promote antimicrobial resistance through Insertion Sequence-mediated gene inactivation.
Combining experimental and computational approaches, we unveil how two of the most prevalent bacterial MGE accelerate the evolution of AMR. π§΅ππ»
