In our new paper, we uncover how Burkholderia switches from antibacterial T6SS-1 to eukaryotic-targeting T6SS-5. Surprisingly, actively turning off T6SS-1 assembly prevents mitochondrial damage and apoptosis. Congrats @christy-chc.bsky.social and the team! link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Regulation of Type VI Secretion Systems of Burkholderia during transition to intracellular lifestyle - EMBO Reports

Pathogenic bacteria tightly regulate gene expression in response to environmental cues. In Burkholderia species, the Type VI Secretion Systems (T6SS) mediate interbacterial competition and host cell i...

A massive thank you to all the incredible participants and speakers who made ETOX 2025 in the Basque Country an unforgettable event! Your insights, discussions, and passion for bacterial protein toxins have truly advanced the field. We're already looking forward to next time! #ETOX2025

It's a wrap! Thank you @davidalbesa.bsky.social @pbernalt6ss.bsky.social for organizing such an amazing conference and giving me the opportunity to present my PhD work😁 #ETOX2025

Ready for ETOX 2025🧫🦠 Come find me at poster #12, and join for my talk on Thursday morning☺️

First contamination on my unused trimethoprim plate (first pic) 🧫 which reminded me of my "collection" of contaminated plates last year (second pic) 😬
