Freiburger Forschende: Einige Antibiotika‑Resistenzgene (AmpC‑Varianten) machen E. coli nicht nur resistent, sondern auch mobiler und aggressiver – Studie eröffnet Weg für gezielte Therapien. 🧫🔬⚠️ https://www.nau.ch/news/forschung/studie-einige-antibiotika-resistenzgene-machen-erreger-aggressiver-67120885 #Antibiotikaresistenz #Forschung #mBio

This recent #mBio paper from #HIRI's Vogel lab provides new insights into the #RNA regulatory networks of Fusobacterium nucleatum. 🦠🔍 The research team discovered FoxJ, a new σE-dependent #sRNA with unusual #mRNA activation activity. Check it out: https://journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/mbio.03536-23

Work with me, an amazing team at #ASM, and leading researchers and editors at #mBio, #mSphere and mSystems in making these #OpenAccess journals indispensable to everyone interested in the microbial sciences. US-based, remote work possible.

Please share broadly.

Helicobacter pylori causes gastric #ulcer leading to #cancer. (800000 deaths/year). Treatment is #antibiotics and a bismuth compound. Pepto-Bismol which treats upset stomach also contains bismuth.

Here, the team show H. pylori blebs out vesicles with bismuth to stay alive in the stomach. Quite an elegant study on defense mechanisms in #bacteria (h/t TWiM)
