#Bacterial #plasmids utilize two distinct survival strategies—stealth and manipulation—to drive a "stealth-first" mechanism where #antimicrobial resistance genes are initially acquired by stealthy plasmids before being rapidly disseminated by manipulative ones.

#Bacteria use weapons to outdo rivals, but what happens if they're transferred? @prokaryota &co show that HGT of toxin #plasmids is rare but recipients can thrive under relaxed nutrient competition, reshaping bacterial warfare @PLOSBiology https://plos.io/43vC3X7

Anyone know if it's common for two plasmids within the same K. pneumoniae strain to both encode rmpA (regulator of mucoid phenotype)? #Klebsiella #plasmids

This ought to make for an interesting read: ' #prophages and #plasmids display opposite trends in the types of accessory genes they carry ' - I thought standing theory was viruses / #phages came from plasmids (someone please correct me if I'm wrong!). So could we track for a possible point of divergence somewhere? #microbiology #evolution

For Nanopore Community Meeting #ncm2022 - my onsite poster number is #7, and online number is #16. I'll be around the poster from 4 to 5:15 or so, please do stop by and provide some feedback! Especially interested in feedback for #Deinococcus #phages #plasmids #phylogeny

Interesting observation on #marinebacteria #phage #plasmids - apparently found during an experimental evolution displaying reliable crashes after some generations. https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2022.11.02.514943v1

#Introduction

I’m a Post-doc at the University of Oxford, working on the evolution of bacterial genomes and pangenomes. I’m interested in bacterial cooperation and ecology, and how these might interact with horizontal gene transfer.

I’m on the train to Manchester for the #MicroEvo22 meeting, where I’ll be presenting a poster (no. 17). Looking forward to seeing lots of you there!

Hey folks! New to Mastodon, so here's my #Introduction:
I'm Oliver Schwengers, a microbial bioinformatics PostDoc researcher in the Goesmann lab @JLU Gießen. My research focus on the in silico analysis and characterization of bacterial genomes and #plasmids based on WGS data. I love collaborating with medical/environmental/space microbiology researchers. Besides hands-on analyses, I develop and maintain bioinformatics methods & software tools, e.g. Bakta, Platon, ReferenceSeeker ...
