Happy International Microorganism Day! 🎉
Today, we are celebrating the tiny powerhouses that have a massive impact on our world. From the bacteria in our gut to the fungi that give us antibiotics, these incredible organisms are essential to life.
Let's make some noise for the microscopic!

New preprint! We characterise the small, regulatory RNA Arp which controls DNA uptake and twitching motilty in A. baumannii. Led by our Dr Fergal Hamrock @hamrockfergal.bsky.social and in collaboration with @westermannlab.bsky.social and Mike Gebhardt's lab!
DNA uptake and twitching motility are controlled by the small RNA Arp through repression of pilin translation in Acinetobacter baumannii https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.07.19.665661v1

Charline studied how some clinical strains of Acinetobacter baumannii create a transient intracellular niche before infecting neighboring cells.
Great collaboration with @kroegerlab.bsky.social
