Our work on gene duplication as a transient mode of resistance acquisition covered by Saral AI. Do take a look at the video and the original article here: elifesciences.org/articles/9…
Our next Saral AI video with Dr. Nishad Matange explores how E. coli adapts to antibiotics under trimethoprim stress and what drives resistance over time.

I had the great pleasure of Guest Editing a Special Issue @ACS_Infectious together with @SandhyaGansan Kathryn Wicht and Angela Corona. A multi-continent collection on ID research in the Global South.
The issue is now live! Read the editorial here:

In another feature, the Indian Express published the work of Dr @NMatange!
His team’s study reveals how E. coli survives antibiotics by temporarily copying key genes, buying time to evolve permanent resistance.

Are you curious about how bacteria defend themselves against viral attacks?
Our lab at IISER Mohali explores these molecular defense pathways and their potential to inspire new biotechnological tools.

Out now at @PLOSBiology we evaluate the potential for antibiotic efflux and cell wall biogenesis as targets for reversing drug resistance and preventing its de novo evolution in Escherichia coli. Link below:

Bottomline: Our study highlights that targeting intrinsic resistance pathways, such as efflux, can be useful to ‘resistance proof’. Yet, the gap between genetic and pharmacological inhibition is likely to be a major challenge in the application of this approach as a therapeutic.
