Qiqi Pan (Hermie Harmsen group at @umcgroningen.bsky.social) on Evolutionary Adaptations Driving Faecalibacterium Competitiveness in the Gut Environment
#HMG2025

Liam Jones (Sahar El Aidy group at UvA) on genetic signatures of extracellular electron transfer in the gut microbiome
#EET
#HMG2025

Lisanne Braams (from Jan Maarten van Dijk group at @umcgroningen.bsky.social @rug.nl) on Lighting up infection: Bacteria-targeted molecular imaging of orthopaedic implant infections with vancomycin-based PET tracers
#HMG2025

#HMG2025

Continuing with Archaeal viruses at #HMG2025 by Anna Schöntag (from Tessa Quax group at @rug.nl) on isolation of novel haloarchaeal viruses

The infection cycle of the haloarchaeal virus HFTV1 is tightly regulated and strongly inhibits motility of its host | mSystems Viruses infect members of all three domains of life, including Archaea. Euryarchaea are widespread microorganisms found in various environments, such as the human gut and solar salterns. Due to the ex...

Leonard starts on using the RNAseq data published by the group in #mSystems recently on HFTV1 infection of archaeal cells

#HMG2025

Afternoon session at #HMG2025 start with viruses by Leon Bäcker (from Tessa Quax lab in @rug.nl) on transcriptional regulation of the archaeal virus HFTV1

We dive into the root-shoot axis at #HMG2025 via the talk by @albpascale.bsky.social from @cornepieterse.bsky.social group at @utrechtpmi.bsky.social on the contribution of the microbiome to induced systemic resistance

Patrick van Hage (Annemarie Meijer group at #InstituteBiologyLeiden @leidenscience.bsky.social) on unraveling autophagic resistance of macrophages against intracellular pathogens via APEX2 proximity proteomics
#DRAM1
#HMG2025

When in Groningen
#HMG2025 coffee break

Cool experiments by Andreas to find collateral sensitivity to certain antibiotics when resistance are acquired due to plasmid (in addition to collateral resistance - from @apoliakopoulos.bsky.social group in Utrecht
#HMG2025

Back to plasmids at #HMG2025 AMR and plasmids:
Andreas Liaropoulos from @utrechtuniversity.bsky.social on plasmid acquisition related collateral sensitivity evolutionary trade-offs in Klebsiella pneumoniae

We switch to Streptococcus suit at #HMG2025 with a talk by Jerry Wells from @w-u-r.bsky.social talking about genetic drivers of Streptococcus pathogenesis and immune evasion

Matteo Buffoni from @utrechtuniversity.bsky.social on Beyond transfer: post-transfer instability limits zoonotic dissemination of IncI1-blaCTX-M-1 plasmids
