Postdoc @Basler_lab @biozentrum @NCCR_AntiResist | PhD @institutpasteur with @HildeReuse 🔬👨🔬🦠
Basel, Switzerland
Joined June 2019
Out today in @NatureComms, the last chapter of my PhD thesis @institutpasteur @Microbio_IP 🥳 We found that RNase J, the major RNA degradosome RNase of Helicobacter pylori, is post-translationally regulated by acetylation. We solved the RNase J… (1/4) https://t.co/fpeGe1mHCU

I am very happy to share our latest study on ciprofloxacin resistance instability in P. aeruginosa during periods of drug restriction. A fantastic collaboration @PabloLaborda95, @rug_lrs, JL Martínez, Søren Molin & Helle Johansen🥳 @CNB_CSIC @DTUBiosustain

Ceftazidime-avibactam (a last resort drug) use selects multidrug-resistance and prevents designing collateral sensitivity (CS) based therapies against P. aeruginosa (no robust patterns of CS emerge). Happy to see it published! 🥳 @CNB_CSIC @microHUSE

🚨🔬Excited to share our new paper now out in @NatureMicrobiol! Using Tn-seq + live imaging in engineered airway organoids, we explored the fitness tradeoffs P. aeruginosa faces while growing and surviving antibiotic treatment on the mucosal surface. 🔗 https://t.co/DCPVogORDv

(1/6) Really jazzed to have this out - my first @wellcometrust fellowship paper! https://t.co/uhA1c5Qv0M Can bacteria evolve resistance to competitors' T6SS weaponry? We find that the answer depends on **how many toxins** competitors are using. A thread:

For over 10 years, we've known that neighboring P. aeruginosa cells engage in rounds of H1-T6SS firing. It was unclear how this starts since H1-T6SS only fires in response to an attack. Now we know: https://t.co/u2KnfkagmK Congrats Max, Sharath, Alejandro, and others!

What a start for the PGB lab in 2024 with yet another integron story! This time we uncover how toxin-antitoxin cassettes have shaped the evolution of chromosomal integrons, turning them into giant genetic libraries for fast "à la carte" adaptation! https://t.co/Mnz7ZIJjwn
science.org
Toxin-antitoxin systems maintain cassettes in integrons by killing cells when the cassette loss is too high.
