@MaritaMarli has studied competence in Strep dysgalactiae strains from bovines and humans - and found a method to make mutants using natural transformation! @DanStreamer @DPorcellato @UniNMBU Great collaboration with Oddvar Oppegaard @medofak_uib.

Our work on genetic determinants for S. aureus fitness in milk is now available online. The study also exemplifies how milk can modulate antibiotic susceptibility. Congrats @MaritaMarli and thanks to all collaborators (@DPorcellato @JWVeening @vincentdebakker @liuxuescience)!

Great collaboration with @Morten3891 to figure out which genes are required for Staphylococcus aureus to live in milk. Important to know due to Staphs ability to cause bovine mastitis and food poisoning https://t.co/dA8CQcqgTI

Checkout @Bevika2 preprint! She used CRISPRi-seq to determine antibiotic-stress signatures, specifically of pneumococci treated with fluoroquinolone antibiotics. It's a really powerful approach revealing a surprising antibiotic combination therapy. 1/9 https://t.co/ClAZgaJokO

@felixrl_ took on a ~50-yr-old mystery in #Staph aureus cell biology and came out on top! Check out his paper on how #Staphylococcus aureus chooses its cell division plane, how it forms clusters, and why all this matters during infection...

A fishy tale about the the Salmon Microbial Genome Atlas is now out in @NatureMicrobiol. We hope this culture and genome biobank provides a functional resource to the community and supports the next generation of salmon gut microbiome projects. https://t.co/ChalIbuuhO

Excited to share this preprint! Our multiscale approach has finally shed light on the essential roles of the structural protein HU in pneumococcal nucleoid dynamics. Thanks to all co-authors for their contribution to this collaborative work.

What does DivIVA do? New research in @mbiojournal reveals that, in Streptococcus pneumoniae, this structural protein is a key player in the orchestration of cell division and elongation. Get the details, including how scientists think DivIVA works, here: https://t.co/HjEll6BKWS

Congratulations to @vincentdebakker for receiving a 'Prix de Faculté' @FBM_UNIL @unil for his PhD thesis!
Amazing thesis, and student! Wishing you all the best in Boston! #ProudPI

@LiselotDW @ERC_Research @UCLouvain_be @deDuveInstitute @frsFNRS Congratulations!!

[Wenqi Yu @WYuLab]

Very excited to share our latest preprint: a breakthrough in surface protein trafficking that we've studied for a long time. Perhaps more important is, the beauty of synchronized cell envelope biogenesis.
