Knowing how much hard work went into this paper, it's great to see it published. Congrats to the @lab-puhar.bsky.social for their great results!
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 🧵

I don't want to start a thing, but I find I have to keep repeating myself on this. AMR does not kill people. Pathogens kill people. AMR prevents us from saving people from dying of infectious diseases.
