Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Andres R Floto"
- Andres R Floto's research mainly focuses on the interplay between microbial behavior and host responses, specifically investigating the mechanisms underlying hypermutability in Pseudomonas aeruginosa and its implications for competitiveness and environmental resilience.
- His recent work reveals that transient hypermutability impacts both inter- and intra-species competition among microbes, providing insights into the evolutionary advantages of such traits and their potential consequences during antibiotic challenges.
- Floto also examines the immune response to pathogens, as demonstrated by his investigation of the NLRP1 inflammasome's role in recognizing SARS-CoV-2 in lung epithelial cells, highlighting the significance of host-pathogen interactions in respiratory infections.
