Goodbye lunch for Hannah - awarded a CDC/CSTE Applied Epidemiology Fellowship, and Genevieve Chiara - thank you for all your hard work this summer! Best of luck to you both and hope to see you soon! CSTE

Fascinating paper by Anish Kumar Pandey on #BacterialEvolution in upper respiratory tract. I made a #VisualAbstract as I was reading to keep the two studies straight. Paper: nature.com/articles/s4146… RT: x.com/Bacterioskepti…

Snitkin lab is participating in the holiday-themed door decoration contest hosted by the Bioinformatics department! Thanks to @stephstaph8 @5hawnsolo Katie Saund @RDCrawford26 Ali Pirani Joyce Wang and @Sintsovka for #mandatoryfun!

Thanks to invitation by UMich Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, Evan takes us through cool work by @5hawnsolo, Zena Lapp, Ali Pirani, and many amazing collaborators in understanding CRKP transmission! #AntibioticResistance #GenomicEpi

🎶🎅🎄❄️☃️It's beginning to look a lot like...sickness here in the Snitkin lab for the annual Bioinformatics Door Dec Contest. Elf on the shelf should have gotten his DTaP vaccine before he sat on that rusty nail...... Dept of Microbiology & Immunology @ the Univ of MI #IDtwitter #SantaIsComingDownWithSomething

It's happening! First graduate trainee @5hawnsolo from the Snitkin lab is defending her PhD work today at 2 PM (EDT)! All are welcome to see her hard work on combating infectious diseases in long-term care via bluejeans.com/557571257 Dept of Microbiology & Immunology @ the Univ of MI (photo credit: @stephstaph8 )

Congratulations @5hawnsolo! We have been so fortunate to be part of your amazing journey. Best of luck in all your future endeavours!! #GoBlue @UNC_Clin_Micro

Are patients or hospitals a more important predictor for #antibioticresistance dissemination? Our latest work in IDSA teases them apart! Special thanks to CDC for funding this research. #GoBlue #Genomics #epidemiology doi.org/10.1093/cid/ci…

Excellent work by Katie Saund on the implementation of new bacterial #GWAS methods!!

Our latest preprint by @5hawnsolo with Mary Hayden's group is out!

From the Snitkin Lab - work highlighting the prevalence of multiallelic sites and SNPs in overlapping genes within diverse bacterial genomes and the impact of reference allele choice on gene-based analyses. ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…

Congrats to Dr. Stephanie Thiede! 🧫🦠 @stephstaph8 successfully defended her excellent dissertation, "Genomic Epidemiological Insights Into MRSA Transmission and Adaptation in an Urban Jail and the Surrounding Community" today. Congrats!🎉

Phenotypic & ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P… Snitkin Lab eric martens Snitkin/Martens results provide paths to expand phenotypic surveys of more diverse gut bacteria to understand their functions & also to leverage dietary fibers to alter the physiology of the gut microbial community

Congrats to Genevieve Chiara, Snitkin Lab member & Michigan Public Health MPH in Hospital & Molecular Epidemiology candidate, for her successful MPH capstone presentation: "Validation of strain profiling tool strainEST using Clostridium difficile population sequencing." Great work! 🥳🎉

We are excited to publish our framework for studying regional transmission using whole-genome sequencing data. Check out our corresponding open-source R package, regentrans 👇 snitkin-lab-umich.github.io/regentrans/ind…

Strain Variation in Clostridioides difficile Cytotoxicity journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/ms… Snitkin Lab Hanna/Snitkin Identified genomic variants most correlated w/changes in phenotypes & disease severity. Overlapping loci may be important for bacterial function & human clinical disease

Ferric Citrate journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/mb… Harry Mobley Snitkin Lab Snitkin-Mobley: Ferric citrate uptake has not previously been associated w/UPEC isolates, underlining the importance of the continued study of these strains to fully understand their mechanisms of pathogenesis.
