Ep 58: Evangelos Mourkas, campylobacter & urbanization. Probiotics & AMR. Plasmid-chromosome cross-talk.

Welcome to 2025! We are so happy to be starting one more year with you, our 8th year! On this episode, we bring you the story and work of Dr. Evangelos Mourkas, a veterinarian-turned-computational biologist who loves to also do the field work himself! In this interview, we dive deep into his motivators, reflections, and how campylobacter can be used as a marker for AMR spread.

On the news section, we bring you a recent paper looking into the potential risks of probiotics through the lens of AMR, and the latest publication by a previous guest, Alvaro San Millán, exploring the cross-talk between plasmids and the carrier’s chromosome.

We hope you enjoy this month’s content and are ready to share an awesome 2025 of learning and exploring new themes!
