Our first effort exploring gut bacteria-extracellular ATP interactions is published! We show that eATP rewires gene expression and physiology in harmless and pathogenic bacteria, impacting production of bioactive metabolites, antimicrobial sensitivity, and virulence. A 🧵

1/2 New publication from the lab from the talented postdoc Dr. Andy Perrault in collaboration with Dr. Alejandro Pironti! pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39977318/
Enterobacter hormaechei replaces virulence with carbapenem resistance via porin loss - PubMed
Pathogenic <i>Enterobacter</i> species are of increasing clinical concern due to the multidrug-resistant nature of these bacteria, including resistance to carbapenem antibiotics. Our understanding of ...

Bacteria use exogenous peptidoglycan as a danger signal to trigger biofilm formation - Nature Microbiology
Peptidoglycan released by neighbouring kin or non-kin cell lysis induces physiological changes that protect from a range of stresses, including phage predation.
