Must-Read Paper 👀 Wrap up the week exploring how mobile genetic elements (MGEs) drive pangenome structure: Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi. journals.asm.org/doi/full/10.... #Plasmid #MGEs #Salmonella

The ISPB Virtual Seminars 2025 continue tomorrow with the second session: 📅 Tuesday, April 15 🕢 07:00–08:00 (UTC) (everytimezone.com) Make sure you don't miss it! 🤠 #Plasmid #ISPBVirtualSeries

Imagine resistance genes as stickers, and plasmids as the sticker albums where they're collected and swapped. 🤔🧩 Now, You should check this amazing work from Wang et al.! 👇 doi.org/10.1093/isme... #Plasmid #MGEs #AntimicrobialResistance #ARGs

Cigarettes: bad for your health… and for antibiotic resistance, too? 🚭🚭 Fang, Konyali and colleagues have demonstrated that smoking-derived compounds promote the conjugation rates in different environments (artificial lung sputum medium and environmental medium).

Updates are back! We’ll be sharing papers and reviews relevant to our community. Please, feel free to contact us if you’d like us to feature your work. Thanks!! 🧬
