New pre-print from our lab looking at antibiotic resistance and sensitivity of AB5075 lacking p1AB5075 - a serendipitous isolation. We also included a full sequence of the widely used pWH1266 E.coli-Acinetobacter shuttle plasmid: GenBank accession no.: PV577797.1.
Always good to start the year with a new preprint. We charted DNA methylation in Salmonella enterica: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.64898/2026.01.27.702048v1.

Happy International Microorganism Day! 🎉
Today, we are celebrating the tiny powerhouses that have a massive impact on our world. From the bacteria in our gut to the fungi that give us antibiotics, these incredible organisms are essential to life.
Let's make some noise for the microscopic!
Poster quoting from a reviewer saying "I have been supported by the Microbiology Society so much, so I will always support them."
Publish with us and invest in the research community. Supported by income from our journals, the Microbiology Society awards hundreds of grants every year, providing opportunities and experience for microbiologists at all career levels.
Cool stuff! Many congrats Lauren and Team!
New preprint! We characterise the small, regulatory RNA Arp which controls DNA uptake and twitching motilty in A. baumannii. Led by our Dr Fergal Hamrock @hamrockfergal.bsky.social and in collaboration with @westermannlab.bsky.social and Mike Gebhardt's lab!

Woohoo! Many, many congratulations Charline! Well deserved!🥳
Human endothelial cell infected with Acinetobacter baumannii strain ABC141. Bacteria are visible with Dapi in white along with the nucleus of the cell. Bacteria are mostly organized in a large cluster with a few scattered ones. Mitochondria are visible in red.
Charline studied how some clinical strains of Acinetobacter baumannii create a transient intracellular niche before infecting neighboring cells.
Great collaboration with @kroegerlab.bsky.social

Great to see that our pgtE story continues! Congrats to the cool work!
Latest preprint from our lab describing a new 2-plasmid system to investigate sRNAs-target molecule interactions in A. baumannii.

Our lab contributed to this including @hamrockfergal.bsky.social : CsrA-mediated regulation of a virulence switch in Acinetobacter baumannii. Great work led by Phil Rather's group.
