Bacteria exposed to antibiotics become resistant, that's the core of the #AMR crisis. We figured out how to expose them to antibiotics and evolve susceptibility instead. @farhanrc.bsky.social shows how, in our latest paper.

New paper from the lab!
Evolving bacteria in the lab is a great way to understand #AMR. But, does it matter what evolution platform you use? Yes.
@farhanrc.bsky.social showed different platforms select different evolutionary paths. Read more at IJAA:

🚨NEW PREPRINT ALERT:
In this paper, Jacob and Suzana from the Auclair lab investigate how Salmonella Typhimurium adapts to growing on itaconate, with detailed metabolic and genomic studies.
Many thanks to our collaborators at McGill and Concordia! (Details below) #chemsky

Toxin-antitoxin systems are weird, but seem pretty effective. So where are the plasmids with 20+ toxin/antitoxin pairs? The logic that makes one pair adaptive should be true for 2 pairs, 3 pairs, n+1 pairs...

This seems like a fitting first post. My lab has just published a paper on the evolution of resistance to Octyl-tridecaptin A1!
This antibiotic is tough to evolve resistance against. To crack it we had to optimize SAGE, our lab evolution system.
