#PCBCommunity |🦠 Científics de @ibmb-csic.bsky.social i @idibell.bsky.social descobreixen que els embrions poden eliminar infeccions bacterianes abans de formar el seu sistema immune i descriuen un mecanisme de #fagocitosi similar al dels glòbuls blancs en embrions humans. 🔬

Epithelial cells provide immunocompetence to the early embryo for bacterial clearance Early embryos are exposed to environmental perturbations that may influence their development, including bacteria. Despite lacking a proper immune sys…

Exciting discovery, see our publication in Cell Host Microbe !! In collaboration with Esteban Hoijman (CSIC) we have uncover embryo capacity to clear bacteria

A study by @ibecbarcelona.eu & @uab.cat uncovers how coinfection by 2 common 🫁pathogens (P.aeruginosa & M. abscessus) supress immune responses and worsen the outcome in patients with respiratory diseases.

We have gained deep insights into polymicrobial biofilm infections and how they influence the infection process. In this study, we explored the interactions between the pathogens Burkholderia cenocepacia and Pseudomonas aeruginosa within a biofilm infection model.

Burkholderia cenocepacia and Pseudomonas aeruginosa in dual-species models: Insights into population distribution, antibiotic susceptibility, and virulence Multispecies biofilms are communities composed of different microorganisms embedded in an auto-synthesized polymeric matrix. Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Burkholderia cenocepacia are two multidrug-re...
