🚨 new preprint 🚨 Here we report that deleting the Septin aspB results in cidal activity of the static anti cell wall drug Caspofungin. This wasn’t only in vitro as 🐭 infected with the mutant and treated had 70% survival compared to 30% of the wild-type 1/2

New preprint! How much does antibiotic use shape bacterial lineage dynamics, and how does that relate to the fitness costs/benefits of resistance determinants? All sorts of fun findings and a method that we hope will be broadly useful. See @dhelekal.bsky.social's thread and the preprint!

Widespread use of azole fungicides in agriculture may reduce the effectiveness of antifungal treatments for patients with aspergillosis. EMA highlights that nearly all 120,000 tonnes of azoles sold in the EU were used as pesticides, potentially contributing to #AMR www.ema.europa.eu/en/news/one-...
