What if fighting bacteria with viruses could make them sensitive to antibiotics again?

A new eLife Digest explains research showing how #MRSA trades one kind of resistance for another.

Trading resistance
When the bacteria MRSA evolve to resist viral attacks, they regain their sensitivity to antibiotics.

Recognizing the importance of language accessibility in science and scientific communication, I have translated this work into Spanish. You can find the Spanish translation in Supplementary file 3!
I'm excited to announced that the version of record of this article is out in @elife.bsky.social. With the other first coauthor My Tran, we found that phage resistance cause reduced beta-lactam resistance and reduced virulence phenotypes in diverse MRSA strains.

Bacteriophage infection drives loss of β-lactam resistance in methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus
In methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, evolution of bacteriophage resistance causes trade-offs that re-sensitize the bacteriato β-lactam antibiotics.

The 2nd Hablemos de Ciencia Symposium was a success! This event was started last year to create a venue for UW-Madison researchers to communicate science in Spanish. Science is done for and by speakers of different languages. The language(s) that we use to communicate science should reflect that!
