Antibiotic adjuvants are used alongside antibiotics to minimize or block bacterial resistance. How can they help preserve activity of existing drugs amidst the rising threat of antimicrobial resistance? https://t.co/QMaORwpoe2 #WAAW #USAAW23

New paper! 📢 We looked at the prevalence of type VI secretion systems (T6SSs) across E. coli and characterised the systems present in renowned MDR lineages ST410 and ST131

Machine learning for microbiologists

https://t.co/lIuiN4ZHQn

In this Review, Segata, Waldron and co discuss key concepts of machine learning that are relevant to microbiologists and provide them with a set of tools to apply machine learning in microbiology research.

Using probiotic bacteria to make antibiotic-like compounds is emerging as an alternative to conventional antibiotic treatment. What must be taken into account when engineering bacteria for therapeutic, prophylactic or diagnostic applications? #AppEnvMicro: https://t.co/6AEsPNpTqM

So incredibly proud of my best friend and lab sis Dr. @sarah_strass for defending her thesis yesterday. I know you have a bright future ahead of you. ❤️

[Sarah Strassler @sarah_strass]

I’m excited to share that I successfully defend my thesis work yesterday and am officially a DOCTOR!! 🍾😍

Thank you to everyone who helped me get to this point! I DID IT!!

Different transcriptome profiles in S. enterica persisters induced by #ciprofloxacin and #ceftazidime suggest that these cells modulate their response differently according to each stress💊🦠🔗

Organ agar—made by mixing mouse organ homogenates with molten agar—serves as a physiologically relevant alternative for in vivo bacterial colonization, allowing for screening of mutant libraries while avoiding physiological bottlenecks.
