Who are we?

[Llorenç Fernández Coll @CollLlorenc]

Happy to explain the role of ppGpp in gene expression changes during infection of intestinal epithelial cells with strains of Adherent-Invasive Escherichia coli at the #ESCMIDGlobal2025. Results of my #PostdocBP at @LabMmi.

[MMILab_UDG @LabMmi]

Glad to share our study where two new antimicrobial peptides with broad spectrum activity against multi-drug resistant bacteria have been identified.🦠💊 They inhibit biofilm formation, have improved stability in serum and reduced toxicity! 👌

Fimbriae or porin, which part of K. pneumoniae is the best immunogen? Marta Vicente from @LabMmi presented comparative data at III @eurestop meeting 🧩🦠🧬 Thank you for this great opportunity to share our work!

[MMILab_UDG @LabMmi]

@CollLlorenc and @mery_ramos5 shared new data about of the #AIEC-PrimAlarm project in the XXXIV congress of the @SCDigestologia. Congrats team! 👏💪 #SCD2025 Thanks scientific committee for the opportunity 🤗

This week is European Research night! 🇪🇺👩🏽‍🔬👨‍🔬 @LabMmi will participate in the What does research for you? "microtalks". Despite the name, many topics will be covered, not only microorganisms!

[MMILab_UDG @LabMmi]

Joana&Laura are the ELISA dream team 🤩 Over 1000 antibody titers determined always with a smile!!! Thanks a lot for your hard work and kindness!!! A real pleasure to host you the last 6 weeks. Enjoy a well deserved holidays!⛱️🏕️

[MMILab_UDG @LabMmi]

Júlia Mollà reviewed the methods to identify AIEC and compared two approaches in our cohort of strains. Congratulations @juliaa_08 on your excellent work! A positive attitude is so important—thank you for your kindness 🤗

[MMILab_UDG @LabMmi]

Marta Iglesias just presented her final degree project about the role of type II toxin-antitoxin systems in the patogenicity of AIEC LF82 🧫🧬. Thanks for your hard work, positive attitude and contribution to this novel field of study. Best wishes for a bright future.✨

[MMILab_UDG @LabMmi]

Sara Molina studied the role of ppGpp in our model of similar strain pairs (AIEC and non-invasive). Despite being so close genetically, they behave differently! Great reward for a lot of good work! 💪🏼
We wish you the best! 👩🏻‍🔬

[MMILab_UDG @LabMmi]

Today Queralt Bonet presented and defended her thesis about #AIEC transcriptomics during infection and the role of arginine and colanic acid on the pathogenicity. Congratulations Queralt! And thanks to Dr. Balsalobre, Dr. Aranda and Dr. Serra for the insightful discussion! 🤗

[MMILab_UDG @LabMmi]

🔝A good representation of the @LabMmi presented their results at the III Jornades de Biologia today at @UdGCiencies

[Margarita Martinez Medina @emaalcub]

Last week, the Barcelona Debates on Human Microbiome took place and we celebrated the #worldmicrobiomeday with a 'pillar of 4'. What do you think is the connection between the microbiome and 'castellers'?

[Margarita Martinez Medina @emaalcub]

I was pleased to announce the Best Abstract Award that was granted to Núria Gumà from @GMagri_Immuno’s lab. Congratulations Núria! And all other speakers. Such great works!!!

[MMILab_UDG @LabMmi]

Laura Martin designed molecular methods to quantify K. pneumoniae virulence factors expression, analyzed their immunogenicity and obtained two DNA vaccines from them. Thank you for your engagement in this challenge always with a smile 🚀All the best for your next scientific trip!
