[Dr. Glaucomflecken @DGlaucomflecken]

I’m seeing some “free market” simps defending Nature’s 12k open access fees. Guess it’s time to bring this back around.

@yuhroontjuh @DrJudyStone @Cdiff_Papers @medical_xpress @PeggyFund It's a pity that the article does not provide a better balance; there was another mechanism already known, that has also been investigated diagnostically; https://t.co/Tt1KtsTYGX

[CDC Emerging Infections @CDC_NCEZID]

It’s #CdiffAwarenessMonth! #Cdiff infection is estimated to contribute to 29,300 deaths in the U.S. each year. More than 80% of C. diff-related deaths occur in people 65 or older. Learn more: https://t.co/IWNVc1KDPU #CdiffInfectionAwareness #BeAntibioticsAware

Did I mention that besides great science #clostpath2023 also features stunning autumn weather? @ramelnyk held word!

[Vincent Young @a2binny]

#ClostPath2023 comes to a close. What a fabulous meeting!!!

[International C. difficile Symposium @ICDS2020]

Congrats to @BugSlayers team for exciting new paper on #Cdiff S-layer and its key role in disease!

[Bug Slayers @BugS_layers]

New paper from the @BugS_layers team! We show that the S-layer is necessary for virulence in mice and that the in vivo environment exerts a strong selective pressure that favours restoration of the S-layer in an S-layer-null mutant

[Joe Sorg @thejoesorg]

New work from the lab. @Andrea9222 found that #Cdiff deconjugates taurine-derived bile salts and uses this activity to stimulate biofilm formation by feeding C. scindens cholate.

[The TA collective @CollectiveTa]

Hello!
Olga Soutourina will give a talk on Type 1 TA Thursday February 3 at 5PM Paris, 11am Boston, midnight Beijing, @I2BCParisSaclay @UnivParisSaclay

[mSphere @mSphereJ]

A team from the Center of #Proteomics and #Metabolomics and @SmitsLab @LUMC_Leiden performed a comprehensive analysis of #phosphorylation in #cdiff - the repertoire of phosphoproteins strongly increases in stationary growth phase. https://t.co/fNluo8kpFf @ASMicrobiology #mSphere

[Dr SuChen Lim @Lim_SuChen]

Our new paper that shows extensive co-clustering of #Cdiff RT014 from humans, animals and the environment is finally out. Special thanks to Deirdre, @Korakrit15 & @DanRJKnight - I couldn’t have learnt to do SNP analysis without your help.

This is a really cool project to share research and raise awareness on #AMR and #Cdiff. Have a look and maybe consider making it happen - who wouldn't want a #Cdiffcomic? ;) Good luck @pssalgado, @cgroughton and team @AMR_comics! #WAAW2021

[Resist NOW 💊 Open for orders now! @AMR_comics]

One of our Resist NOW chapters is “The ENGULFAZONE!” This chapter is inspired by Clostridium difficile research by @pssalgado and @cgroughton at @molmecNCL @STEMNewcastle. The art is by the fantastic @JordanCollver https://t.co/xyOhnXrNuv

[International C. difficile Symposium @ICDS2020]

Fantastic work!

[Dan Knight @DanRJKnight]

So happy to have this fun project finally out in @micgenomics - a fab collab with @Korakrit15 @rodsa_CR & Tom Riley.
