Reposted by Fergal HamrockKröger Lab @kroegerlab.bsky.social · 31/03/2026New pre-print from our lab looking at antibiotic resistance and sensitivity of AB5075 lacking p1AB5075 - a serendipitous isolation. We also included a full sequence of the widely used pWH1266 E.coli-Acinetobacter shuttle plasmid: GenBank accession no.: PV577797.1. 031
Fergal Hamrock @hamrockfergal.bsky.social · 21/07/2025🧬 New preprint out! Thrilled to share our latest study uncovering Arp, a small RNA that represses DNA uptake and twitching motility in Acinetobacter baumannii by directly blocking pilin translation. Massive thanks to my co-authors for a fantastic collaboration! 020
