Clinical adaptation of #PseudomonasAeruginosa can drive pyruvate secretion, where it scavenges ROS, dampens immune activation and promotes persistence, highlighting bacterial metabolism as an active player in infection🦠 https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-026-75330-z09 Jul 2026 08:15 +0000at://did:plc:vbkoee7wmsbxise5ubgp7tv7/app.bsky.feed.post/3mq76wbme222xhttps://bsky.app/profile/pablolaborda.bsky.social/post/3mnyk2yzpuc2pFollowing up on our recent @natcomms.nature.com paper, we have now shared the story behind the study in a @springernature.com Behind the Paper post 🦠 With an amazing illustration by Elena Contel Maza (@helen.mushu.science in instagram) 🎨 https://communities.springernature.com/posts/when-antibiotic-resistance-mutations-do-more-than-resist-antibiotics?channel_id=behind-the-paper [contains quote post or other embedded content]11 Jun 2026 05:55 +0000at://did:plc:vbkoee7wmsbxise5ubgp7tv7/app.bsky.feed.post/3mnyk2yzpuc2phttps://bsky.app/profile/pablolaborda.bsky.social/post/3mntsa5agik2qThe final version of our latest paper is now published in @natcomms.nature.com! This study illustrates how #AntibioticResistance mechanisms can reshape bacterial physiology beyond resistance itself, ultimately influencing infection dynamics in clinically relevant ways🦠 https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-026-71782-5 [contains quote post or other embedded content]09 Jun 2026 08:38 +0000at://did:plc:vbkoee7wmsbxise5ubgp7tv7/app.bsky.feed.post/3mntsa5agik2qhttps://bsky.app/profile/pablolaborda.bsky.social/post/3mit3ww6tnc2dOur latest comment is now out!
