What a way to end the year, with our latest paper finally out in @NatureComms!! 🎉🍾 nature.com/articles/s41467-0…
📢 New preprint!! Combining transcriptomics, genetic engineering and CRISPRi silencing, we unveiled a plasmid-chromosome transcriptional crosstalk in multidrug resistant clinical enterobacteria - 1/10 🧵👇 biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Finally, by expressing the pOXA-48-encoded lysR in trans and by silencing the pfp-ifp operon using CRISPRi technology, we demonstrated that the overexpression of the pfp-ifp operon is beneficial for pOXA-48-carrying Klebsiella pneumoniae - 9/10 (10/10 👇)

In summary, we show that a pOXA-48-encoded regulator mediates a plasmid-chromosome transcriptional crosstalk, resulting in a growth benefit for the plasmid-carrying bacterium ➡️ This could promote plasmid maintenance and transmission in clinical strains.

Another great retreat at my grandfather's farm! This year with @asanchez_lab @AlvSanMillan @Jero_RB @TMcoque @jaegc and @aneperezcobas labs. What a lineup! La Cerca '24.
A scientific meeting in my grandfather's farm. I cannot be happier and prouder. La cerca '22. Thanks to @AlvSanMillan @jaegc et al.

And its out! New paper for #integron aficionados. We found gene-less cassettes in superintegrons that express/silence other cassettes in the array. Here is a 🧵 Identification of promoter activity in gene-less cassettes from Vibrionaceae superintegrons academic.oup.com/nar/advance…

🚨 Preprint alert 🚨 The first work from my lab where we expose the Achilles’ heel of beta-lactamase-producing enterobacteria is now out!! Great effort led by @Cris_Herencias & @Lauralvllo in close collaboration with my friend @AlvSanMillan!! Check the details below!! 👇
Our new preprint on collateral sensitivity in E. coli is now available! We combined classic experimental approaches with high-throughput analyses of AMR surveillance databases to unravel new CS responses to one of the most relevant mobile AMR mechanisms: β-lactamases🧵👇

Check out our last work with @CelineLoot, @amazeld, @AlvSanMillan and @SkovgaardOle We have deleted the Superintegron from V. cholerae! A long-awaited feat in the field!! Despite losing 3% of the genome, the strain remains identical!! 😵 biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
