New preprint from our Lesterlin Lab! Yannick Baffert and @nfrk92.bsky.social, in collaboration with @macerwan.bsky.social and @val-meve.bsky.social, shed light on the molecular mechanisms driving pOXA-48 plasmid maintenance and transfer. We reveal novel TA system, regulators, and T4SS components!

🚨 New preprint! We know that plasmids are associated with very variable fitness costs in their different bacterial hosts. But, what is the contribution of each of the plasmid-genes in these host-specific effects? Study led by @jorgesastred.bsky.social, @sanmillan.bsky.social and myself! 1/14

I made a starter pack for researchers who study various aspects of viral sociality. It's woefully incomplete and has lots of room to grow, so do message me if I've missed you! go.bsky.app/3PfgjkP #SocialViruses 🦠 🧪

Our paper on identifying novel origins of transfer by conjugation is out! One can now expand the known oriTs from 1% to 80% in species like Acinetobacter baumannii. This contributes to unravel hitcher plasmid mobility beyond model elements. #microsky www.nature.com/articles/s41...
