Resistance to one antibiotic can make bacteria resistant or sensitive to another antibiotic, opening paths for combinatorial treatments. A study in Nature Microbiology presents an approach to systematically discover and understand such antibiotic relationships. go.nature.com/49of3Mk 🧪
This is figure 4, which shows collateral sensitivity and cross-resistance interactions between and within antibiotic classes.

(1/3) Antibiotic resistance is costing human lives. 🦠 A study from EMBL's Typas group proposed a framework to identify antibiotic pairs that make bacteria resistant to one antibiotic but sensitive to other – this can help design new treatments and delay resistance. 🧬🧪 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

If there is one account worth following irrespective of your reasons for being on Bluesky, it is @auschwitzmemorial.bsky.social. A humbling and necessary constant reminder of the human abyss.

To fill up my empty feed, my first post on #bluesky. Earlier this year we showed how the DdmDE system from pandemic Vibrio cholerae defends against invading plasmids. A great collaboration between the labs of Martin Jinek (UZH) and @mblokesch.bsky.social (EPFL). www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Can a phage defence system interfere with antibiotic action? 💊 Yes, it can! CBASS is triggered by antifolates and turns these mostly bacteriostatic drugs into bactericidal ones in bugs like V. cholerae. 🦠 www.nature.com/articles/s41564-023-01556-y Read full here: rdcu.be/du20r

Gift link to NYT article on an exciting breakthrough in treating extreme nausea in pregnant women (+ cancer patients). The female MD who conducted the breakthrough study (a) lost her pregnancy at 15 weeks gestation after suffering & (b) was told the problem was in her head. Representation matters.

If I'm already on it, another tool I use when encountering a hypothetical uncharacterized protein is CDVist by the Zhulin lab. Great to predict domains and easy to use. Inviting rabbit holes included. 😅 cdvist.joulinelab.org

Phage researchers, could you help out? Reviewer asks us to refer to "phage typing as a standard tool for the differentiation of Bacilli". Can anyone point to specific literature applicable to all Bacilli? Or is it only for differentiating certain species from each other?

Can we limit infection by disarming pathogens rather than killing them? In this review we discuss the current state of play with this approach to tackle antibiotic resistance. www.nature.com/articles/s44...
