🧪 New research by @basler-lab.bsky.social reveals a surprising microbial trade-off: Pseudomonas aeruginosa activates a defense program to survive “speargun” attacks from rival bacteria, but this defense makes it more vulnerable to antibiotics. @unibas.ch @snsf.ch @nccr-antiresist.bsky.social 👇

📢 We are proud sponsors of the @AMRConference26 and are again hosting our networking event on the 2 March. 👩‍🔬👨‍🔬 "Young Scientists: Building future antibiotic expertise" features four speakers and an apéro. ‼️Don't forget to check the box when registering for the conference ‼️

🎩 Congratulations to @fabi-est.bsky.social on her marvellous new hat! 👩‍🔬 Fabienne defended her PhD thesis "Of Resistance Mechanisms and Prophage Activation: Characterizing the Behavior of Pathogens in Clinical Contexts" on 7 November. All the best in your endeavours, Fabienne, we will miss you!

📢 We are known for our innovative approach to antimicrobial research, but for World AMR Awareness Week 2025, we reached a whole new level - the 🪢 ULTIMATE TUG OF WAR 🪢 was held @biozentrum.unibas.ch 🏆 Who won? 👩‍🔬 Researchers🧑‍🔬 or🦠 Bacteria🦠? 🎞️ Watch and see! 👉 youtu.be/WRL1rEn1v9A #AMR #WAAW2025

🚨Preprint alert - this is a big one! We transfer the revolutionary power of TnSeq to bacteriophages. Our HIDEN-SEQ links the "dark matter" genes of your favorite phage to any selectable phenotype, guiding the path from fun observations to molecular mechanisms. A thread 1/8
