PhD in Biotechnology. Passionate about Microbiology and keen to investigate bacterial signal transduction, particularly chemotaxis. Enjoying science :)
Our new study shows that a #phytopathogenic bacterium uses distinct #chemoreceptors to detect plant defence compounds, revealing an important role for #chemotaxis in plant #virulence. @krelllaboratory.bsky.social @gavirius.bsky.social @robertagenova.bsky.social journals.plos.org/plospathogen...
Chemotaxis to plant defense compounds in phytopathogens. Pathogen attack triggers the release of defense compounds by plants. Bacteria move chemotactically to these compounds.Nice collaboration with Ashleigh Holmes, @gavirius.bsky.social, @miguelmatilla.bsky.social journals.plos.org/plospathogen...
Chemotaxis to plant defense compounds in phytopathogens
Author summary Chemotaxis permits bacteria to move to sites that are favorable for survival and host colonization. A typical chemotactic response is initiated by the binding of chemoeffectors to chemo...

Skin androgens regulate Staphylococcus aureus pathogenicity via quorum sensing
Nature Microbiology, Published online: 27 February 2026; doi:10.1038/s41564-026-02261-2Testosterone produced by skin cells enhances Staphylococcus aureus pathogenicity by activating quorum sensing, and a stereoisomer of testosterone that blocks this interaction inhibits bacterial cytotoxicity towards human cells.
