Habreis visto esta foto de las vacas de mi padre en muchos sitios con diferentes historias y mucha especulación -como en el tuit que cito-. Os cuento como se produjo este milagro en este artículo: elpais.com/espana/madrid/…
elpais.com Las vacas y el árbol milagro de los incendios de Tres Cantos: la historia tras la foto viral |... Gracias a los voluntarios y a los bomberos, ojalá sirvan de esperanza en estos tiempos duros en los que las llamas asolan España

Our latest manuscript is out!

Conjugative plasmids fuel AMR through IS-mediated gene inactivation, promoting the evolution of multidrug resistance in bacteria.

Hope you like it
New paper out! 📣📣

Plasmids promote antimicrobial resistance through Insertion Sequence-mediated gene inactivation.

Combining experiments and bioinformatics, we unveil how two of the most prevalent bacterial MGE accelerate the evolution of AMR. 🧵👇🏻
