Disrupting bacterial communication signals to treat diseases is not always beneficial. This is what a new study led by @KimInGeneva (#UNIGE} and @HarisAntypas (@NTUsg) shows. https://t.co/giY2DRrH5F

I’m excited to share that this study I am first author from the lab of @KimInGeneva (three continents effort!) is out!
E. faecalis-derived lactic acid suppresses macrophage activation, enabling persistent and polymicrobial wound infections.

Hi Strep/Entero community! Registration and abstract submissions are now open for the Streptococcal Biology Gordon Research Seminar (GRS), August 1–2, 2026 in the beautiful Lucca, Italy!! Spots are filling out quickly so make sure you apply soon (: https://t.co/3vJNbDdOLP

[Kimberly Kline 🏔 @KimInGeneva]

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!

@JorgeEVidal1 @UMMCnews @BUAPoficial @EmoryUniversity Congratulations, it's a beautiful paper! Happy to see it in @mbiojournal!

[Kimberly Kline 🏔 @KimInGeneva]

@MysorekarLab @ASMicrobiology @JornCoers @lawrenzlab Thanks, Indira! Hope you are well!

[Haris Antypas @HarisAntypas]

Wonderful teamwork from the labs of @KimInGeneva @DariaVanTyne Annelies Zinkernagel!

[Ronni da Silva @RonniAnderson]

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.=)

[Kimberly Kline 🏔 @KimInGeneva]

Congratulations to @theZhiRen from @PennDentalMed for winning the @FEMSMicrobes best ECR talk award at the 7th International Aegean Conference on Model Hosts! 🥳 He gave a killer talk on Selenomonas sputigena. A very cool🦠.

[Kimberly Kline 🏔 @KimInGeneva]

Calling all Enterococcal researchers & enthusiasts! 🦠We've really appreciated the Enterococcal tools available @Biocyc, especially with upgraded curation, so I'm happy to spread the good word to those who are still out there.

[Ani (Anahit) Penesyan @anibio]

Check out the recent @BioCyc release, which also includes newly curated Tier 2 databases for Enterococcus faecalis V583 and OG1RF. A big shoutout to @KimInGeneva and @josealemos for their guidance in navigating enterococcal research!

[Kimberly Kline 🏔 @KimInGeneva]

@BriegelAriane Belated congratulations! (Great to see you today! Now, time for a hamburger.😁)

[Jorge E. Vidal @JorgeEVidal1]

The 2024 GRC on Streptococcal Biology #GRCStrepBio24 was a terrific conference! @GordonConf; a big thanks to chairs @JWVeening and @MichaelFederle for organizing and @KimInGeneva and @josealemos for taking over the next one!

[Kimberly Kline 🏔 @KimInGeneva]

Our previously preprinted work on E. faecalis HtrA is now out @PLOSGenetics. A project close to my ❤️, started in 🇸🇬 by Adeline Yong and finished in🇨🇭 by @CristinaColome8 and supported by an international cast! https://t.co/PXVV95IG6s

[Kimberly Kline 🏔 @KimInGeneva]

The latest preprint from the lab is up. Here we asked how the cell responds when pilus biogenesis goes off the rails in E. faecalis. 😱 Come for the chaperone/protease action, stay for the WEIRD morphologies & two component system induction. 👇

[Kimberly Kline 🏔 @KimInGeneva]

@victornizet @KdoranLab @Katy_Patras @LindseyAtUTK @JWVeening @LamarSThomas1 @LaRockLab @AZinkernagelLab @jonbakerlab @BradySpencer12 @GordonConf The Nizet family is in exponential phase at the 3rd Strep GRC!

[Shu-Sin Chng @Figlegend]

#SGBUG is back for July 2024, first with @HarisAntypas from lab of @KimInGeneva sharing about his work on enterococcal infective endocarditis!

[Kimberly Kline 🏔 @KimInGeneva]

I am a little biased, but this is SUCH a great meeting! For microbial folks thinking about ecological and evolutionary problems, this a great crowd! Check it out! 👇

[EMBL Events @EMBLEvents]

[2025 ASM Biofilm meeting @2025ASMBiofilms]

We are happy to announce that the 10th ASM Conference on Biofilms will be held in Portland, Oregon, from Nov 9-13, 2025. We look forward to gathering the biofilm community for what should be a fantastic meeting. See the ASM website for details. https://t.co/qwfGkRz7iV

[Kimberly Kline 🏔 @KimInGeneva]

We're still pretty excited about all the new insights gained from this scRNAseq study of Enterococcus faecalis wound infection, now up on @eLife ! 🤓😎 A super awesome collaboration with @_cenk, @Guillou76, and more. 🤠 https://t.co/jdgtbMls3X

[Kimberly Kline 🏔 @KimInGeneva]

In our ongoing efforts to understand Enterococcal pathogenesis in wound infections, we teamed up with @_cenk and @ThibaultLab to dissect the host response at single cell resolution. New insights abound! 👇🤩
