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.

🧬 New preprint out! Thrilled to share our latest study uncovering Arp, a small RNA that represses DNA uptake and twitching motility in Acinetobacter baumannii by directly blocking pilin translation.

Massive thanks to my co-authors for a fantastic collaboration!

CsrA-mediated regulation of a virulence switch in Acinetobacter baumannii | mBio The World Health Organization has ranked Acinetobacter baumannii atop its “priority pathogens” list highlighting the urgent need for new therapeutics against this pathogen. Many A. baumannii strains i...
