@ADaCotaMonteiro As vezes pedem comidas de fast food, mas a maioria das vezes o que eu vejo são cupcakes (e isso é o bolo principal também), chips, frutas e vegetais com muito molho ranch

The Streptococcal Biology GRC/GRS are open for applications. Acceptances are underway and the meeting is on track to fill up.

If you’re aiming for a short talk (lots of slots), registering early is important for full consideration.

Plz share widely!

From bench to bedside—innovative research in our department is driving real impact. Dr. Lindsey Burcham’s collaboration with UT Medical Center connects lab-based studies of the vaginal microbiome to maternal and infant health outcomes.

Thanks for allowing me to be part of such awesome story. Congratulations Andrew, Ashley, the entire Monteith lab and collaborators!

[Andrew Monteith @AJMonty6]

The debut paper from the lab is live! Check out the amazing work by @AWiseMitchell and collaborators discovering that mitochondria are not just the 'powerhouse of the cell' but adapted by neutrophils to sense bacterial persistence and trigger NETosis.

Getting the spiderwebs out to excitedly share our new work @KimInGeneva lab. We studied how Enterococci use lactic acid to suppress the inflammatory response and promote virulence.
https://t.co/DW6Hd2LUqd It is now under review, stay tuned for a revised version when published.=)

[Jéssica Mendonça @Jesscmendonca]

@RonniAnderson @KimInGeneva Yay amigo congratulations for another amazing work being published!!

[UTK Microbiology @UTKMicrobiology]

From PhD to Startup! Microbiology alumnus Jordan Cannon turned his research into Circular Biosciences, a company tackling bioplastic waste with enzyme-driven solutions. Want to read more about how his team is pushing sustainable innovation forward? https://t.co/jwqrJclrnX

[Lucy Crouch-Myers @LucyICM]

New paper from the lab out today on Akkermansia muciniphila and how it breaks down host glycans! @IMIBirmingham @unibirm_CMH Very proud of my group, especially @CassieBakshani who did an amazing job. @NatureMicrobiol

Applications are open for the 2025 GRS/GRC on Staphylococcal Diseases! Make sure to get your abstracts submitted for the opportunity to present your work in beautiful Barcelona! https://t.co/cADwDFte3e @turley20_mary

[Jéssica Mendonça @Jesscmendonca]

Our paper is out! If you work with systemic models of bacterial infection in mice, we hope this is a good tool to decide the best model for your research!
