In our lab, we routinely evaluate biofilm growth of different Pseudomonas putida strains.
Some time ago we designed a simple methodology to recapitulate the biofilm formation and dispersal behaviour in one single microtiter dish. Here we explain you how 👇pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/2411…

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) aren't just cellular debris. They influence viral transmission, immune modulation, and disease outcomes. This #mBio review summarizes current insights into EV biogenesis, cargo, and their dual role in infection & pathogenesis. doi.org/10.1128/mbio.03316-2…

And one year later, this paper finally came to fruition. I am happy to present our newest publication in Microbiological Research sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

With implications for understanding crop diseases, this work reveals new vulnerabilities in plant pathogens. Could targeting their teamwork lead to sustainable plant protection strategies? This work opens doors for innovative pest control. #PlantPathology

And here’s the kicker: specialization helps bacteria spread! Flagella-equipped bacteria exit the infected tissue, ready to colonize new areas. This coordinated strategy is key for the pathogen's success.

Think of it as a team effort to overcome immunity:
-Attack team: Cells activate a secretion system to suppress plant defenses, creating a "safe zone" for their kin.
-Escape team: Motile cells flee infected tissue before necrosis, ensuring survival and pathogen spread

Individual bacteria specialize, some suppress immunity, while others escape early to spread infection before the plant tissue collapses. It's a division of labor! The study highlights how phenotypic heterogeneity allows pathogens to adapt to host environments dynamically.

Ever wonder how bacteria organize during an infection?!
Our new research in Nature Microbiology uncovers the sophisticated teamwork of Pseudomonas syringae, a notorious plant pathogen.

One more year, Seville celebrates science in the #22FeriaCiencia 🧪
Great work from our micro-mates Elisa, Isamar, Valentín, Luis, Juan, Irene... and all the talented volunteers (dozens!) who have been highlighting research at @CABD_UPO_CSIC during these days!
Proud to announce that @aroalopsan has been recognized with a teaching excellence award by @pablodeolavide
And huge congrats to Nacho Flor too! Very well deserved!👏

@marpulsan from @LifeSwitchCABD’s lab and @JuanMartManc from @canosa_ines & @AmandoFlores_1’s lab participated in the Workshop "Environmental Microbiology: Microbes as Safeguards of the Environment" in Baeza! Great representation from #CABD!
… and a family picture of all participants of the memorable Baeza meeting—a memento for posterity 😅! Thanks @ramoslabgranada for orchestrating the whole thing 👇!
