L'objectiu de la jornada és establir un punt de trobada per a tota la comunitat científica catalana que treballa en l’àmbit de la microbiologia, que ens serveixi per a conèixer-nos, intercanviar experiències, establir contactes i afavorir sinergies i col·laboracions científiques.

#PCBCommunity |🦠 Científics de @ibmb-csic.bsky.social i @idibell.bsky.social descobreixen que els embrions poden eliminar infeccions bacterianes abans de formar el seu sistema immune i descriuen un mecanisme de #fagocitosi similar al dels glòbuls blancs en embrions humans. 🔬

A study by @ibecbarcelona.eu & @uab.cat uncovers how coinfection by 2 common 🫁pathogens (P.aeruginosa & M. abscessus) supress immune responses and worsen the outcome in patients with respiratory diseases.

Our new paper is out!
We have gained deep insights into polymicrobial biofilm infections and how they influence the infection process. In this study, we explored the interactions between the pathogens Burkholderia cenocepacia and Pseudomonas aeruginosa within a biofilm infection model.
Interplay of Mycobacterium abscessus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa in experimental models of coinfection: Biofilm dynamics and host immune response
The incidence of infection by nontuberculous mycobacteria, mainly Mycobacterium abscessus, is increasing in patients with cystic fibrosis and other chronic pulmonary diseases, leading to an acceler...
