@MurrayTipping @KarineGibbsPhD @CurrentBiology Thank you to @MurrayTipping and @KarineGibbsPhD for writing this very clear perspective on our @CurrentBiology paper on bacterial competition sensing. Fabulous!

Ook bacteriën werken samen. Zoals een beschermende slijmlaag maken (bv tandplak). @KU_Leuven wetenschapper @HansSteenackers gebruikte dit sociaal gedrag als doelwit voor een nieuwe vorm van antibacteriële therapie waarbij er geen resistentie optreed🦠💀

Behandelingen die de samenwerking van bacteriën tegengaan, kunnen het probleem van antibioticaresistentie mee oplossen, ontdekten @HansSteenackers en zijn collega's 👇 https://t.co/dtddkEOD1F

I’m beyond excited to see our @NatureComms paper out!

‘Inhibiting bacterial cooperation is an evolutionarily robust anti-biofilm strategy’

Based on imidazole EPS inhibitors I started developing in 2008 and an inspiring research stay with Kevin Foster

Good moments in 2019: My first time teaching #sociomicrobiology to Bioscience Engineers @KU_Leuven. Based on great reviews by Martin Schuster, @prokaryota, @saramitri, @GhoulMelanie, @RolfsMicrobes and Kevin Foster and our #ASMCooperation meeting report

Good moments in 2019: #InternationalBiofilmSummit for #foodindustry
Proud to give a talk on our last year’s ISME Journal paper on ‘Competitive interspecies interactions underlying antimicrobial tolerance in brewery biofilms’ https://t.co/CcLRBj9c9b

Good moments in 2019: Wonderful @Eurobiofilms conference in Glasgow.
Thankful to give talks on #competition sensing (Bram Lories and @XabierVillanue1) and our #evolutionarily_robust #antibiofilm strategy (@HansSteenackers)

Invited speaker Prof Hans Steenackers (https://t.co/m8gQX4Y90h) talks about how individual #bacteria exploit public resources produced by others to ensure their own survival. This is part of a study on bacterial #competition and #cooperation's roles in #AntibioticResistance.

Competitive inter-species interactions underlie the increased antimicrobial tolerance in multispecies brewery biofilms
