See our new (data) preprint on the 121 sporulating Bacillales genomes by Lijie Song and Lasse J. D. Nielsen et al a CeMiSt DTU project together with @tilmweber Expanding the genome information on Bacillales for biosynthetic gene cluster discovery biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh…

Every 6 seconds, someone dies from an antibiotic-resistant infection. Today, on day 242 of the year, over 3.2 million people have already been lost to #AMR. That's the equivalent of 85 plane crashes per day every day. Everybody should be talking about this.

Excited to share that our paper is now out in ⁦Nature Microbiology! We characterize a positive mechanism for Z ring placement in S. aureus governed by the proteins PcdA/DivIVA, and its implication during infection in a mouse model nature.com/articles/s4156…

Who is excited for #Subtillery2024? Lift off in T-minus 60 mins!

I am excited to announce several post-doc positions studying gene regulation and cell biology of spirochetes are available in the NIH Biology of Spirochetes Unit, opening 2025 in Bethesda, MD NIAID News! Join our team and work on the dynamic NIH campus: training.nih.gov/jobs/pdfi-0128…

Come join a fun group of bacteriologists NIH Intramural near DC!

🚨 Great alternatives to BioRender are now available!! 📢 NIAID News offers a collection of public figures and icons for everyone to use. Check it out at bioart.niaid.nih.gov

Checkout Bevika Sewgoolam 🇿🇦 in 🇨🇭 preprint! She used CRISPRi-seq to determine antibiotic-stress signatures, specifically of pneumococci treated with fluoroquinolone antibiotics. It's a really powerful approach revealing a surprising antibiotic combination therapy. 1/9 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

We are very excited to announce our latest work on how MRSA conquers antibiotics. We show that high-level resistance to methicillin requires S. aureus to utilise an alternative mode of cell division to ensure its survival! Sheffield AFM Group Abimbola_Olulana doi.org/10.1126/scienc…

Since we only had a month to post this, we got permission to extend priority review to Nov 15! So send us your applications! And feel free to ask ?s

Excited to share my postdoctoral work on novel aspects of S. aureus skin infection pathogenesis, out as pre-print. This was such! a cool story to have developed Horswill Lab.

From anti-invader immunity to the cytoskeleton: the tale of McrB proteins This work with Kumaran Ramamurthi Vivek Anantharaman shows how a protein involved in bacterial immunity gave rise to a novel lineage-specific cytoskeletal protein. The McrB proteins are AAA+ ATPases that typically

Busy day in the lab! JoVE is shooting a video on a methods paper that my trainee (Sarah Poirier) and I published a couple of months ago on how to grow a CF-relevant polymicrobial biofilm (pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38709077/). Hoping this will be useful to CF labs! @biologieUdeS

Extracellular Calcineurin-like phosphoesterases foster and signal altruistic behavior in bacteria This new work with Kumaran Ramamurthi Vivek Anantharaman and colleagues uncovers a new role for extracellular calcineurin-like phosphoesterases in bacteria. The calcineurin-like
