Lovely day @CbiToulouse with our newest team members @Lili_Torres97 & Sara already working hard in our brand new lab.
Check out the incredible blue sky 🔵 🦋🔵 in #Toulouse. It must be a sign!

[Benoit Pons @BenoitJPons]

After 4,5 wonderful years in Cornwall, I'm super glad to be back in Toulouse to start my new position as a lecturer at @UT3PaulSabatier! I've joined @OlayaRendueles' lab in @CbiToulouse where I'll continue to work on phage-bacteria relationships

Is antibiotic-resistant bacteria in 🇬🇧rivers a threat to public health? 💧🦠

This is what the #PooSticksStudy aims to understand but we need your help!

We've been studying the gut microbiomes of #wildswimmers and are now looking for volunteers who don't swim in rivers, lakes, or the sea (though wild swimmers can still sign up!).

💩samples from non-swimmers are key to understanding how widespread these bacteria are among the British public.

Interested? Request your kit now: https://t.co/srjFlbxy4j

Please share! The more people take part, the more confidence we can have in our findings.

Are you worried about 💩pollution in 🇬🇧 rivers spreading 'superbugs'?

The Poo-Sticks project needs your help!

This summer, we've been studying the gut microbiomes of river swimmers and are now looking for people who don't swim in rivers, lakes, or the sea.

Your participation is key to understanding how widespread 💊antibiotic-resistant bacteria 🦠are among the British public.

Are you interested in taking part?
Do you know anyone who might be?

There are 200 sample kits left. Request yours now: https://t.co/srjFlbxy4j

@Alice__Maestri Congrats again Alice 🍾🎉 It was a pleasure working with you on this project!!

[Alice Maestri @Alice__Maestri]

I'm so happy to see the main part of my PhD work published in Cell Host & Microbe!

We discover and characterise MADS (Methylation Associated Defense System) in its native host, a clinical isolate of 𝘗𝘴𝘦𝘶𝘥𝘰𝘮𝘰𝘯𝘢𝘴 𝘢𝘦𝘳𝘶𝘨𝘪𝘯𝘰𝘴𝘢 strain SMC4386

[Cell Host & Microbe @cellhostmicrobe]

MADS, an anti-phage defense. @Alice__Maestri @Anne_Chev @edzewestra describe an innate immune system, MADS (methylation-associated defense system), that interacts with #CRISPR-Cas in its native host to provide strong & long-term protection against #phages https://t.co/YrzJkiQY8n
