The Nobel lecture of Alexander Fleming, discoverer of penicillin, has a section at the end where he considers personal responsibility and infectious disease. Still relevant. https://t.co/mGLkQG5C3c
Very proud of @PaddyGibson2 for solving this huge genetic puzzle, in collaboration with @LaurenCowley4. The exact and minimal requirements for resistance to amoxicillin, the frontline antibiotic to treat #pneumococcal infections, were not known https://t.co/hlj0SXx5L5
Check out our latest preprint! @mimi_syn made an easy to use system to perform multiple rounds of genome editing in #pneumococcus by putting the CRISPR-Cas9 system on a temperature-sensitive replicative plasmid.

The power of COM-blockers: @JWVeening &Co identify compounds preventing competence & #horizontalgenetransfer in #Streptococcus pneumoniae. COM-blockers perturb proton motive force, thus reducing export of #quorumsensing peptide that activates competence https://t.co/yIhT2TPWKT
We're hiring! Very flexible in how we're going to spend the money, so casting a wide net in search for either a technician, PhD student and/or post-doc. It's a 4 year project from @snsf_ch to study pneumococcal competence! More information here: https://t.co/bpdhez56SG
Nice coverage by @NicolettaML @LiveScience on our latest paper in @cellhostmicrobe: New drugs could stymie superbugs by freezing evolution https://t.co/YroS6l6MCS
Anti-evolution drug could stop antibiotic resistance https://t.co/J1pTOiH4t4 Study by @JWVeening and colleagues from @univgroningen and @unil

Looking for a Postdoc to work on computational biology of drug combinations. Exciting topic, together with experimentalists!
Don't miss this opportunity! Lots of data already there, and more on its way!

New preprint from the lab, work led by @arnau_dp, in @JPIAMR collab. with @AnaRitaBrochad1, Nassos Typas @embl and @BHN_Lab. Identification and MOI of a set of compounds that potently inhibit competence and thereby HGT in #pneumococcus. Comments welcome! https://t.co/yZkGwUUnV8
