Researchers discover Achilles' heel of antibiotic-resistant bacteria
Highly antibiotic-resistant bacteria become more susceptible when transport to the cell wall is disrupted.

This study shows that targeting a key lipid carrier can re-sensitize resistant Gram-positive bacteria to β-lactam #antibiotics, while making it much harder for them to evolve escape mutations due to high fitness costs @gtorrensribot.bsky.social @cavalab.bsky.social #AntimicrobialResistance #MRSA

1/3 Very happy to share our new paper in Nature Communications! This study represents a major part of my postdoc and my transition into MRSA research. Here is the story behind it 🧵 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

And that’s a wrap on the Great Wall Symposium 2025! Roll on 2027, venue to be confirmed shortly …
Having a fantastic time at the Great Wall Conference in Catania. Talks have been nothing short of inspiring, so many smart ideas and friendly faces in one place. #GreatWallConference #BacterialCellWall #Microbiology #Bacteria #AntibioticResistance #ScienceConference #Catania #ResearchCommunity
