Why are some non-antibiotic drugs toxic to bacteria 💊☠️🦠? Do they work like standard #antibiotics (ABX)? Our latest work by @MarianaNoto published @ScienceMagazine addresses this fundamental question (1/n)

Never-have-I-ever seen technology racing forward as fast as #LMMs in the past two years. Watching the @OpenAI releases coming out in real-time in their twelves-days series is jaw dropping! 🤖🌊

The ability of LMMs (chatGPT here) to *assist* in generating useful code for biologists a mind-blowing power multiplier 🤯! My advice to biologists at all career stages: Learn to code, its a superpower 🦸♀️🦹♂️ (for example, counting fluorescent colonies from mouse microbiome) 🧪🦠

Our second paper on the bacterial toxin colibactin is now out on mBio, this time we critically evaluated the claim that colibactin toxicity necessitates cell-cell contact 🧪🦠🧵(1/9)

I love this work since it a wonderful demonstration of (1) Serendipity in research – it started unexpectedly when we saw an active reporter even in non-contacting colonies and (2) it shows the power of simple experiments and quantitative microscopy (8/9)

Credit for this work goes to my former student Dr Emily Lowry. @emily_lowry23 literally submitted the revised version of this manuscript at the very last minute before leaving the lab 🥳 (9/9)

Can’t believe we unlocked this level of the #AI hype - huge adds for @AnthropicAI in airports (Boston & Atlanta). Wonder what % of ppl even know what’s the product (<0.1% probably)

We found that the bacterial #toxin colibactin acts as a double-edged sword and inflicts self-damage (evident in hundreds of genomes). Our recent collaboration with @DaganLab is now out on @genomeresearch

This study was truly an exciting one, with many plot twists along the way. All credit goes to @emily_lowry23 who led the study and collaborated with @iwangtoknow on the analysis of the mutation pattern.

We are extremely curious to know if there are other known cases of self-inflicted damage from toxins in bacteria (would greatly appreciate replies to this thread)
