Excited to share this new preprint from the lab, where postdoc Pavan Silva @kptsilva.bsky.social found pathways that control gene amplifications, and thus antibiotic resistance, in Staph aureus!

Genetic determinants of gene amplifications alter frequency and evolutionary trajectory of antibiotic resistance in Staphylococcus aureus
Gene amplifications are thought to be common in bacterial populations, providing a rapid reversible mode of adaptation to diverse stresses, including the acquisition of antibiotic resistance. We previ...

New preprint from our lab! We found that Staph aureus evolves tolerance to pyocyanin produced by Pseudomonas aeruginosa via CodY mutations. Project was started by @saraalexander.bsky.social and then led by @tmartini.bsky.social who tested so many possibilities to pin down the mechanism!
