Ruido, Memoria y Resistencia a Antibióticos Rafael Peña Miller CCG UNAM UNAM 🗓️Jueves 3 de octubre de 2024. 11:00h Sala de Conferencias. Centro VISAVET. Complutense #SeminariosVISAVET

Todo listo para la #NocheEuropeaInvestigadores 🧪🌚 Os esperamos mañana 27/09 de 17:30 a 21:00 en nuestro stand "luchando contra la resistencia a antibióticos" y el taller "siendo microbiólog@ por un día" (18:30)✋🏼🦠 📍CaixaForum Madrid No os lo podéis perder!🧬✨

And here it is!!! Thread coming later today!!

Our preprint "Full Factorial construction of microbial communities" was peer reviewed. We describe a simple protocol for assembling all possible combinations of up to 10-12 different microorganisms using standard lab equipment. Hopefully useful to others! elifesciences.org/reviewed-prepr…

Quite excited about the latest "Universal rules govern plasmid copy number", with my new group: Paula Ramiro Nacho de Quinto Cáceres & Jerónimo Rodríguez-Beltrán ! Have you given it a look yet? Check also the supporting work by Lingchong You & Co.

Finally out after peer review. The first SuperIntegron-less Vibrio cholerae... and it is virtually identical to the WT! doi.org/10.1093/nar/gk…

Should I stay or should I go? 🎶 In a new opinion piece, Claudia Igler, Andrina Bernhard and I discuss how conjugative plasmids and temperate bacteriophages balance vertical and horizontal transmission: ecoevorxiv.org/repository/vie… Our framework illuminates many sides of MGE biology (1/7)

In our new study, we show that plasmid carriage can affect the frequency of microindel mutations in their host: doi.org/10.1016/j.plas… With: Mikkel Liljegren, @Paal_Johnsen & Klaus Harms

Extremely happy to see the final version of our paper "The expression of integron arrays is shaped by the translation rate of cassettes" out in Nature Communications 🥳!!! Thanks to the reviewers for their valuable feedback and suggestions! rdcu.be/dX8BB

👀 Check out this new paper on the impact of plasmid carriage on the frequency of microindel mutations in their host. 📣 Some of us had the opportunity to catch a few glimpses of this work presented at the #ISPB2024 by Mikkel M. Liljegren 🤠 sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Finally out after peer review, our update on the integron model showing that translation rates of cassettes in first position influence the phenotypes conferred by others downstream. Great effort by André Carvalho nature.com/articles/s4146…

🧬🧬 𝙉𝙚𝙬 𝙋𝙧𝙚𝙥𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙩!!🧬🧬 Latest collab with the amazing Ming Li & Yue Feng labs! How do phages bypass multi-layered defenses in bacteria? Spoiler: with equally complex anti-defenses!! 🧵👇 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

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…

🦠🧬💻 Bakta v1.10 - largest update so far: Highlights: - user-provided HMMs: --hmms - output file recovery from JSON files: bakta_io - export of inference metrics: inference.tsv - bypass overlap filters: --skip-filter - improved genome plots github.com/oschwengers/ba… 👇 (1/11)

🚨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…

Is it “winner-takes all” when the simplest living things compete? Check out my fresh publication on phage coexistence in Science and a thread below🧵 science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Do you use 96 (or 384) well plates in your lab?🔬 I've put up a super simple (and free) to use APP to streamline experiment design and result analysis of these experiments for my lab pals. You can try it here: rosettier.streamlit.app Feedback is very welcome 😁!

Another year, Spain at the top in clinical microbiology (#ECCMIDGlobal2025). However, it is sadly surprising that we do not officially have the Infectious Diseases specialty. What else should we do?Ministerio de Sanidad CIBERINFEC ECDC SEIMC @GEMARA_SEIMC ESCMID @ESGEM_ESCMI 👇RT!
