We performed agent-based simulations (using the Gro software) that tracked individual cells and their state. This simulations reveal how QS + colony structure shape plasmid spread. Donor cells have the pLS20 plasmid, and if conjugation is not repressed, can transmit it to recipient cells.

Focus: pLS20 plasmid in Bacillus subtilis. Its transfer is regulated by quorum sensing (QS). High cell density ➔ QS peptide (Phr*) signals donors to STOP conjugation. Low density ➔ GO! But spatial arrangement changes everything. 🧫 #AntibioticResistance

Un subcomité del #podcast #LaVacaEsférica hemos visto hoy "El Regreso" (The Return), la película con Ralph Fiennes y Juliette Binoche que narra el tramo final de La Odisea: el regreso de Ulises a Ítaca. Unanimidad: peliculón.

Cada día vemos a jóvenes brillantes que nos dicen que les gustaría investigar, pero que no vale la pena el sacrificio.

En la anterior, Luíño nos contaba como a pesar de tener un contrato permanente en el @csic.es, se está planteando irse a vivir a una autocaravana porque no le alcanza para pagar un alquiler en Madrid.

6/ In a scenario with strong contact restrictions (lockdown-like), the effect of faster vaccination resembles a physical phase transition: above a critical vaccination rate, the vaccination campaign will be very effective regardless of the strategy followed.

5/ In a scenario with no contact restrictions, vaccination protocol makes a difference, vaccinating the elderly first (older-to-younger prioritization) is the smart thing.
Faster vaccination rates have a gradual effect. However, in lockdown-like social restriction (obtained from empirical data).

3/ We analyzed the effects of:
*Inter-group contact patterns
*Vaccination rates
*Lockdown-like restrictions
...on COVID-19 outcomes, simulating 362,880 prioritization strategies across 9 age groups.
Key scenarios:
1️⃣ No contact restrictions
2️⃣ Strict contact reductions
*Inter-group contact patterns
*Vaccination rates
*Lockdown-like restrictions
